ForwardInterprofessional Symposium on Quality Assurance and Improvement in Collaborative Practice (RP1704C)
The Joint Commission analyzed sentinel events that were reported to them over the last 10 years and identified communication failure as the leading root cause of sentinel events. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) TeamSTEPPS™ curriculum improves communication and other teamwork skills (e.g., backup behaviors) that help an organization move toward attaining the goal of effective medical teams that optimize the use of information, people and resources to achieve the best clinical outcomes.This is important because teamwork is not innate; it must be learned.
Target Audience
The School of Health Professions has created a symposium to bring together interprofessional students, faculty, preceptors, and alumni in order to help them grasp the basic concepts and selected skills of TeamSTEPPS with the goal of bridging educational gaps in order for:
- Student learners to take communication and teamwork knowledge and skills from the classroom into clinical practice settings
- Faculty and Preceptors to facilitate the practice of communication and teamwork skills by interprofessional learners in clinical rotation(clerkship) sites
- Alumni to establish consistent communication and teamwork standards with health profession trainees entering the workforce, and improve communication and teamwork in their respective workplaces
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
1. Demonstrate knowledge of communication failure modes from a human factors perspective
2. Demonstrate knowledge of communication strategies and specific tools to prevent communication errors
3. Learn the application of specific communication strategies and tools to recover from communication errors.
4. Demonstrate understanding of Dual Process Theory in the context of Clinical Decision Analysis.
5. Gain self-awareness of their own cognitive distortions & bias through Illustration of common clinical examples.
6. Learn key brain based learning strategies that empower meta-cognition as a tool to avoid bias in clinical decision analysis.
