  • TODAY/TONIGHT we will be asking you questions about your experiences with using the TeamSTEPPS® Course and your setting’s experience implementing it.

  • Nothing that you say or share today will be shared in an identifiable way with your practice but represented together along with nine other practices in a report to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. We will not share your name or anything that you say with them in a personally identifiable way.

  • Do you have any questions before we begin?

  • So let’s get started.

I would like to begin by asking you all some questions about your experience with implementing TeamSTEPPS® strategies.


TeamSTEPPS Experience

  1. Has your setting attempted to implement a TeamSTEPPS® training course/strategies before?

    1. Which of the TeamSTEPPS® programs have you previously implemented? How did that experience influence your decision to adopt the TeamSTEPPS for diagnosis course?

  • TeamSTEPPS® 2.0

  • TeamSTEPPS® for Office-Based Care

  • TeamSTEPPS® for Long-Term Care

  • TeamSTEPPS® Dental Module

  • TeamSTEPPS® Rapid Response Systems Guide

  • Training Guide: Using Simulation in TeamSTEPPS® Training

  • Other: Please name


    1. How did your experience with the present TeamSTEPPS® differ from your prior experiences?

      1. How do you think practices who do not receive technical assistance would fare in their implementation?

      2. Are there strategies we should include to help novice practices adopt this TeamSTEPPS® course?

      3. From your perspective, can you describe how the TeamSTEPPS® Course changed communication among providers related to diagnosis?

Diagnosis


  1. Prior to the signing up for the pilot test, what was your practice doing in terms of improving diagnosis and diagnostic error mitigation?

    1. Was diagnostic improvement a strategic priority for your organization?

    2. What were the key factors that underpinned your decision to join the pilot test?

    3. What information could we have provided to make this intervention more attractive to you as an administrator and leader?


  1. Can you describe for me how you made the decision about which of the TeamSTEPPS® modules/communication strategies your practice decided to implement?

  2. How would you describe the impact of the TeamSTEPPS® Course on safety of the diagnostic process in your setting?

    1. What modules within the Course (introduction, team structure, communications, leadership, situation monitoring, mutual support,) do you feel had the greatest impact on the diagnostic process within your setting?

      1. Can you elaborate on why you think it had that impact?

    2. What tools within the Course do you feel had the greatest impact on the diagnostic process within your setting?

      1. Can you elaborate on why you think it had that impact?

    3. What tools within the Course do you feel had the least impact on the diagnostic process within your setting?

      1. Can you elaborate on why you think it had minimal impact?

    4. What was the most effective part of the TeamSTEPPS® Course within your practice? Can you describe why that is?



Patient Engagement



Thank you for sharing. I now want to speak with you a little more about the impact of this training on communications with patients.


  1. Do you think the TeamSTEPPS® course impacted patient’s engagement in diagnosis? Why do you think this is?


Implementation of the TeamSTEPPS® Course



I would like to focus on the practice’s implementation of the TeamSTEPPS® Course.

  1. Can you describe your implementation process for me? Does your organization rely on any standard implementation or quality improvement approaches that were used to help implement the TeamSTEPPS course?

    1. Can you describe for me how that may have impacted your success?


  1. Can you describe for me how your setting advised the team about implementation?

    1. What was the reaction of clinicians to the program? What about the staff? Can you describe any positive or negative feedback you have received?

      1. How can we improve the program to better address these concerns?

  2. What about costs of implementing the TeamSTEPPS® Course? Was that a challenge at all for you?

    1. What advice might you have for other administrators considering adopting the program?
