000	Dear Provider, The Safety Program in Perinatal Care-II (SPPC-II) Demonstration Project, implemented jointly by the Johns Hopkins University and the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) with funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, aims to demonstrate the value of integrating teamwork and communication training with AIM maternal safety bundles for obstetric hemorrhage and severe hypertension in pregnancy. You are being asked to complete this survey because your hospital’s leadership has agreed to participate in this Demonstration Project and you have received training on teamwork and communication tools and strategies through this project. This survey is a tool to help assess the skills you gained from this training and to what extent you and your colleagues are currently using these in clinical obstetric practice. We will not identify your name or the name of your hospital in any reports or publications that uses the information you provide. Your responses will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law, including AHRQ’s confidentiality statute, 42 USC 299c-3(c). That law requires that information collected for research conducted or supported by AHRQ that identifies individuals or establishments be used only for the purpose for which it was supplied unless you consent to the use of the information for another purpose.

Let’s consider a clinical scenario: A 41-week pregnant woman arrives at the labor and delivery (L&D) unit as her membranes spontaneously rupture. A triage nurse takes her vital signs and checks fetal heart rate. The patient’s blood pressure is 170/98 mmHg.
12	What should the nurse do? [Select ALL that apply]	Document this information in the patient’s chart 0 Inform both the resident and the attending physician who take care of the patient of her blood pressure 1 Inform only the resident about the patient’s blood pressure since the physician is very busy 2 Try to comfort the patient since the elevated blood pressure may be due to discomfort from contractions 3 Don’t know -88
13	Following the nursing briefing, the attending physician requests an IV and labs, and orders immediate treatment with anti-hypertensives. After hanging up with the attending physician, the nurse attempts IV access in order to obtain labs and administer anti-hypertensives. The nurse has difficulty establishing IV access, so she calls out to the charge nurse to ask for assistance. The charge nurse is understaffed and does not have a nurse available -- she asks the nurse to keep trying. What tool(s) will help the nurse communicate the message (of urgency) for help to the charge nurse sends someone to help you? [Select ALL that apply]	SBAR 0 Two-Challenge rule 1 Power words 2 Huddle 3 Brief 4 Debrief 5 Handoffs 6 Don’t know -88
14	The patient’s laboratory results return shortly after her arrival on L&D and demonstrate a protein/creatinine ratio of 0.46 with 3+ protein on a catheterized urine sample; elevated transaminases with AST of 107 U/L and ALT of 98 U/L; a Hgb of 10 g/dl; and a normal platelet count. The attending physician reviews the patient’s vital signs and laboratory values and considers essential that he gather the team together to discuss the plan of care moving forward. Which of the following tools should the physicians use? [Select ALL that apply]	SBAR 0 Two-Challenge rule 1 Power words 2 Huddle 3 Brief 4 Debrief 5 Handoffs 6 Don’t know -88
