IDM 756 - Fdtn IPE TeamSTEPPS Training

The UB TeamSTEPPS Program is based on the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 program developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. TeamSTEPPS 2.0 is an evidence-based program aimed at optimizing healthcare team performance, enabling teams to respond quickly and effectively to whatever situations arise. TeamSTEPPS 2.0, by using a teamwork system that offers a powerful solution to improving collaboration and communication, has been found to be a key patient safety initiative that can transform the culture within healthcare. The TeamSTEPPS system is currently used in acute and long-term care inpatient settings and in outpatient and primary care settings. During this experience, students will complete online modules to learn about TeamSTEPPS and the tools that can be used in healthcare teams to enhance team performance and patient safety. During the Role-Play session, students will practice using these tools in small groups with other health professions students. The Simulation session in the Behling Center will allow students another opportunity to use these tools in simulations of healthcare scenarios in the inpatient, outpatient and acute care setting followed by a debriefing session with a faculty facilitator in a small group setting.
