The National Implementation of TeamSTEPPS program represents a new approach to team training for AHRQ. This program focused on disseminating teamwork, communication, and patient safety information, building skill sets, and ultimately fostering a national network of individuals who support and promote the adoption of TeamSTEPPS. To meet the objective of creating a national infrastructure, AHRQ first required that each organization's application include a readiness assessment and a letter of endorsement and support from each team member's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or equivalent regarding the organization's participation in the program. In addition, participants were selected, in part, on the expectation that they would later disseminate their newly acquired knowledge and skills to others in their home organizations or in other organizations locally, regionally, or state-wide. The program involved training teams of participants, led by representatives from either Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) or members of individual hospitals or healthcare systems.
As a result of the time and commitment invested over the three years of program implementation, AHRQ seeks to learn the extent to which they have succeeded in spreading TeamSTEPPS and forming the requisite infrastructure to support on-going and future patient safety efforts.
