13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), AHRQ
invites the public to comment on this
proposed information collection. As
part of its effort to fulfill its mission
goals, AHRQ, in collaboration with the
U.S. Department of Defense’s TRICARE
Management Activity, developed
TeamSTEPPS® (Team Strategies and
Tools for Enhancing Performance and
Patient Safety) to provide an evidencebased suite of tools and strategies for
training teamwork-based patient safety
to health care professionals.
TeamSTEPPS includes multiple
toolkits, which are all tied to, or are
variants of, the core curriculum.
TeamSTEPPS resources have been
developed for primary care, rapid
response systems, long-term care, and
patients with limited English
proficiency.
The main objective of the
TeamSTEPPS program is to improve
patient safety by training health care
staff in various teamwork,
communication, and patient safety
concepts, tools, and techniques and
ultimately helping to build national
capacity for supporting teamwork-based
patient safety efforts in health care
organizations.
Created in 2007, AHRQ’s National
Implementation Program trains Master
Trainers who have stimulated the use
and adoption of TeamSTEPPS in health
care delivery systems. These individuals
were trained during two-day, in-person
classes using the TeamSTEPPS core
curriculum at regional training centers
across the U.S. AHRQ has also provided
technical assistance and consultation on
implementing TeamSTEPPS and has
developed user networks, various
educational venues, and other channel
of learning for continued support and
the improvement of teamwork in health
care. Since the inception of the National
Implementation Program, AHRQ has
trained more than 6,000 participants to
serve as TeamSTEPPS Master Trainers.
Due to the success of the National
Implementation Program, which
resulted in increased requests for inperson training, AHRQ had been unable
to match the demand for TeamSTEPPS
Master Training, and wait lists for
training at times exceeded 500
individuals.
To address this prevailing need,
AHRQ developed TeamSTEPPS 2.0
Online Master Trainer course, which
mirrors the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 core
curriculum and provides equivalent
training to the in-person classes offered
through the National Implementation
Program.
As part of this initiative, AHRQ seeks
to continue to conduct an evaluation of
the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master

Trainer program. This evaluation seeks
to understand the effectiveness of
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master
Training and what revisions might be
required to improve the training
program.
This research has the following goals:
(1) Conduct a formative assessment of
the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master
Trainer program to determine what
improvements should be made to the
training and how it is delivered, and
(2) Identify how trained participants
use and implement the TeamSTEPPS
tools and resources.
The TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master
Trainer program is led by Reingold, Inc.
This study is being conducted by
Reingold’s subcontractor, IMPAQ
International (IMPAQ). This study is
being conducted pursuant to AHRQ’s
statutory authority to conduct and
support research on health care and on
systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the
quality, effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness, and value of health
care services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement, 42
U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
To achieve this project’s goals, AHRQ
will train participants using the
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer
program and then survey these
participants six months post-training.
Each activity is briefly described below.
1. TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master
Trainer Course. This training program,
which includes 13 accredited hours of
training, is based on the TeamSTEPPS
2.0 instructional materials and will be
delivered online to 3,000 participants.
The training will cover the core
TeamSTEPPS tools and strategies,
coaching, organizational change, and
implementation science.
2. TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online PostTraining Survey. This online instrument
will be administered to all participants
who complete the TeamSTEPPS 2.0
Online Master Training. The survey will
be administered six months after
participants complete the training
program.
This data collection is for the purpose
of conducting an evaluation of the
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer
program which was last approved by
OMB on November 14th 2014 (OMB
Control Number is 0935–0224), and will
expire November 30th, 2017. The
evaluation is primarily formative in
nature as AHRQ seeks information to
improve the delivery of the training.
This is a new data collection for the
purpose of conducting an evaluation of
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer
program. The evaluation will be
primarily formative in nature as AHRQ
seeks information to improve the
delivery of the training.
The OMB Control Number for the
MEPS–HC and MPC is 0935–0118,
which was last approved by OMB on
December 20th, 2012, and will expire on
December 31st, 2015.
To conduct the evaluation, the
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Post-Training
Survey will be administered to all
individuals who completed the
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer
program, six months after completing
training. The purpose of the survey is to
assess the degree to which participants
felt prepared by the training and what
they did to implement TeamSTEPPS.
Specifically, participants will be asked
about their reasons for participating in
the program; the degree to which they
feel the training prepared them to train
others in and use TeamSTEPPS; what
tools they have implemented in their
organizations; and resulting changes
they have observed in the delivery of
care.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondent’s time to participate in the
study. The TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online
Post-Training Survey will be completed
by approximately 3,000 individuals. We
estimate that each respondent will
require 20 minutes to complete the
survey. The total annualized burden is
estimated to be 1,000 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden based on the
respondents’ time to participate in the
study. The total cost burden is estimated
to be $45,320.

Background
The Patient Safety and Quality
Improvement Act of 2005, 42 U.S.C.
299b–21 to b–26, (Patient Safety Act)
and the related Patient Safety and
Quality Improvement Final Rule, 42

published in the Federal Register on
November 21, 2008, 73 FR 70732–
70814, provide for the formation of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:43 May 17, 2017
Jkt 241001
Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs),
which collect, aggregate, and analyze
confidential information regarding the
quality and safety of health care
delivery. Information that is assembled
and developed by providers for
reporting to PSOs and the information
received and analyzed by PSOs—called
‘‘patient safety work product’’—allows
for the aggregation of data that help to
identify and address underlying causal
factors of patient safety and quality
issues.
The Patient Safety Act and Patient
Safety Rule establish a framework by
which doctors, hospitals, skilled
nursing facilities, and other health care
providers may assemble information
regarding patient safety events and
quality of care. Information that is
assembled and developed by providers
for reporting to PSOs and the
information received and analyzed by
PSOs is privileged and confidential.
Patient safety work product is used to
conduct patient safety activities, which
may include identifying events, patterns
of care, and unsafe conditions that
increase risks and hazards to patients.
Definitions and other details about PSOs
and patient safety work product are
included in the Patient Safety Act and
Patient Safety Rule which can be
accessed electronically at: https://
www.pso.ahrq.gov/legislation/.
Definition of Common Formats
The term ‘‘Common Formats’’ refers
to the standardized reporting formats—
using common language and
definitions—that AHRQ has developed
for reporting safety concerns from a
variety of health care settings and
throughout the quality improvement
cycle. The Common Formats allow
health care providers to collect and
submit standardized information and
facilitate aggregation of comparable data
at local, PSO, regional, and national
levels. The formats are not intended to
replace any current mandatory reporting
system, collaborative/voluntary
reporting system, research-related
reporting system, or other reporting/
recording system; rather, the Common
Formats are intended to enhance the
ability of health care providers to report
information that is standardized both
clinically and electronically.
In collaboration with the interagency
Federal Patient Safety Workgroup
(PSWG), the National Quality Forum
(NQF), and the public, AHRQ has
developed Common Formats for three
settings of care—acute care hospitals,
skilled nursing facilities, and
community pharmacies—in order to
facilitate standardized data collection
and analysis. The scope of the formats
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
applies to all patient safety concerns
including: incidents—patient safety
events that reached the patient, whether
or not there was harm; near misses or
close calls—patient safety events that
did not reach the patient; and unsafe
conditions—circumstances that increase
the probability of a patient safety event.
AHRQ’s Common Formats for patient
safety event reporting include:
• Event descriptions (definitions of
patient safety events, near misses, and
unsafe conditions to be reported);
• Delineation of data elements and
algorithms to be used for collection of
adverse event data to populate the
reports; and
• Technical specifications for
electronic data collection and reporting.
The technical specifications promote
standardization of collected patient
safety concerns by specifying rules for
data collection and submission, as well
as by providing guidance for how and
when to create data elements, their valid
values, conditional and go-to logic, and
reports. These specifications will ensure
that data collected by PSOs and other
entities have comparable clinical
meaning. They also provide direction to
software developers, so that the
Common Formats can be implemented
electronically, and to PSOs, so that the
Common Formats can be submitted
electronically to the PSO Privacy
Protection Center (PSOPPC) for nonidentification and data transmission to
the Network of Patient Safety Databases.
Common Formats Development
In anticipation of the need for
Common Formats, AHRQ began its
development by creating an inventory of
functioning private and public sector
patient safety reporting systems. This
inventory provided an evidence base to
inform construction of the Common
Formats. The inventory included many
systems from the private sector,
including prominent academic settings,
hospital systems, and international
reporting systems (e.g., from the United
Kingdom and the Commonwealth of
Australia). In addition, virtually all
major Federal patient safety reporting
systems were included, such as those
from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), the Department
of Defense (DoD), and the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA).
Since February 2005, AHRQ has
convened the PSWG to assist AHRQ
with developing and maintaining the
Common Formats. The PSWG includes
major health agencies within HHS—
CDC, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services, FDA, Health Resources and
Services Administration, Indian Health

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer Course
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law
104-13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), AHRQ invites the public to comment on
this proposed information collection. As part of its effort to fulfill
its mission goals, AHRQ, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of
Defense's TRICARE Management Activity, developed TeamSTEPPS[supreg]
(Team Strategies and Tools for Enhancing Performance and Patient
Safety) to provide an evidence-based suite of tools and strategies for
training teamwork-based patient safety to health care professionals.
TeamSTEPPS includes multiple toolkits, which are all tied to, or are
variants of, the core curriculum. TeamSTEPPS resources have been
developed for primary care, rapid response systems, long-term care, and
patients with limited English proficiency.
The main objective of the TeamSTEPPS program is to improve patient
safety by training health care staff in various teamwork,
communication, and patient safety concepts, tools, and techniques and
ultimately helping to build national capacity for supporting teamwork-
based patient safety efforts in health care organizations.
Created in 2007, AHRQ's National Implementation Program trains
Master Trainers who have stimulated the use and adoption of TeamSTEPPS
in health care delivery systems. These individuals were trained during
two-day, in-person classes using the TeamSTEPPS core curriculum at
regional training centers across the U.S. AHRQ has also provided
technical assistance and consultation on implementing TeamSTEPPS and
has developed user networks, various educational venues, and other
channel of learning for continued support and the improvement of
teamwork in health care. Since the inception of the National
Implementation Program, AHRQ has trained more than 6,000 participants
to serve as TeamSTEPPS Master Trainers.
Due to the success of the National Implementation Program, which
resulted in increased requests for in-person training, AHRQ had been
unable to match the demand for TeamSTEPPS Master Training, and wait
lists for training at times exceeded 500 individuals.
To address this prevailing need, AHRQ developed TeamSTEPPS 2.0
Online Master Trainer course, which mirrors the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 core
curriculum and provides equivalent training to the in-person classes
offered through the National Implementation Program.
As part of this initiative, AHRQ seeks to continue to conduct an
evaluation of the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master
[[Page 22829]]
Trainer program. This evaluation seeks to understand the effectiveness
of TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Training and what revisions might be
required to improve the training program.
This research has the following goals:
(1) Conduct a formative assessment of the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online
Master Trainer program to determine what improvements should be made to
the training and how it is delivered, and
(2) Identify how trained participants use and implement the
TeamSTEPPS tools and resources.
The TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer program is led by
Reingold, Inc. This study is being conducted by Reingold's
subcontractor, IMPAQ International (IMPAQ). This study is being
conducted pursuant to AHRQ's statutory authority to conduct and support
research on health care and on systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the quality, effectiveness,
efficiency, appropriateness, and value of health care services and with
respect to quality measurement and improvement, 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(1)
and (2).
Method of Collection
To achieve this project's goals, AHRQ will train participants using
the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer program and then survey these
participants six months post-training. Each activity is briefly
described below.
1. TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer Course. This training
program, which includes 13 accredited hours of training, is based on
the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 instructional materials and will be delivered online
to 3,000 participants. The training will cover the core TeamSTEPPS
tools and strategies, coaching, organizational change, and
implementation science.
2. TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Post-Training Survey. This online
instrument will be administered to all participants who complete the
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Training. The survey will be administered
six months after participants complete the training program.
This data collection is for the purpose of conducting an evaluation
of the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer program which was last
approved by OMB on November 14th 2014 (OMB Control Number is 0935-
0224), and will expire November 30th, 2017. The evaluation is primarily
formative in nature as AHRQ seeks information to improve the delivery
of the training.
This is a new data collection for the purpose of conducting an
evaluation of TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer program. The
evaluation will be primarily formative in nature as AHRQ seeks
information to improve the delivery of the training.
The OMB Control Number for the MEPS-HC and MPC is 0935-0118, which
was last approved by OMB on December 20th, 2012, and will expire on
December 31st, 2015.
To conduct the evaluation, the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Post-Training
Survey will be administered to all individuals who completed the
TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer program, six months after
completing training. The purpose of the survey is to assess the degree
to which participants felt prepared by the training and what they did
to implement TeamSTEPPS. Specifically, participants will be asked about
their reasons for participating in the program; the degree to which
they feel the training prepared them to train others in and use
TeamSTEPPS; what tools they have implemented in their organizations;
and resulting changes they have observed in the delivery of care.
