Doctors and Nurses and Medics – Oh My! Using TeamSTEPPSs and Collaborative Gaming to Enhance Teamwork and Communication

At Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando, Florida, the Emergency Department (ED) is serious business; the lives of children are on the line and those lives depend on our team. Daily stressors are a routine part of the day for virtually any health care professional and our associates are no different. What is different, though, is how we learn. With continuing education, competencies, skills fairs and computer-based learning modules to review regularly, our “mandatories” (like yours) seem like mundane tasks that will continue to infinity and beyond. Enter our TeamSTEPPS training sessions! Our leaders, educators and associates have collaboratively developed unique methods to energize our team-based training programs with games, gaming, community adventures and old fashion fun!

Case Studies Using the AHRQ Indicators for Quality: Part 2

Military hospitals and clinics use a variety of methods to measure and monitor performance. One approach incorporates the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s (AHRQ) Quality Indicators (QIs) for monitoring patient safety, quality, and prevention activities. During Part 2 of this two-part program, you will learn how to access your facilities’ QI data from the Military Health System (MHS) CarePoint information portal. You will also hear about various ways that the MHS has used the AHRQ QIs for performance improvement activities, followed by presentations from representatives of two civilian health systems who will discuss their improvement initiatives in more detail.
