SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
Proposed Project
TeamSTEPPS® Stakeholder Surveys for
AHRQ’s ACTION III Diagnostic Safety
Capacity Building Contract Task 3
AHRQ awarded a contract to the
MedStar Health Research Institute
(MHRI) in 2019 and received OMB fast
track clearance (OMB control number
0935–0179, expiration date of 11/30/23),
to provide program support and
expertise related to improving
diagnostic safety and quality across five
distinct contract tasks. Task 3 of the
contract is to develop, pilot test and
promote a TeamSTEPPS® Course to
improve communication among
providers related to diagnosis.
TeamSTEPPS® to Improve Diagnosis
provides communication strategies,
including methods to improve intraprofessional communication and
communication during the referral
process and to practice mutual support
and situation monitoring during the
diagnostic process. TeamSTEPPS® to
Improve Diagnosis includes an
educational module for leaders on
strategies to facilitate improved
communication with and among
providers related to diagnosis. This
module also includes a Team
Assessment Tool for Improving
Diagnosis (the ‘‘Team Assessment
Tool’’).
The Team Assessment Tool is an
instrument developed as a method of
self-assessment, with the goal of helping
teams reflect on their current diagnostic
and teamwork practices. In addition, it
orients them to the repertoire of tools
available within the TeamSTEPPS for
Improving Diagnosis course that are
E:\FR\FM\09FEN1.SGM
09FEN1
7455
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 9, 2022 / Notices
available to support improvement
efforts. The Team Assessment Tool asks
participants to complete self-assessment
ratings as a mechanism to identify
strengths and opportunities for
improvement in unit-based teamwork.
The unit level aggregate results of the
assessments help unit leaders identify
priorities for training via use of course
modules and specific interventions with
their diagnostic improvement teams.
AHRQ would like to further develop
this Team Assessment Tool into a
measurement instrument, expanding on
its intended use as an educational
activity and formative assessment. The
opportunity to provide evidence (via
publication in peer reviewed journals)
that the tool is both valid and reliable
will strengthen its acceptance in the
care delivery community and provide a
scientifically sound method for teams to
assess changes in performance overtime.
The Team Assessment Tool requires
psychometric testing in order to ensure
validity and reliability.
Psychometrics is the construction and
validation of measurement instruments
and assessing if these instruments are
reliable (have consistency in
measurement) and valid (have accuracy
in measurement). Reliability and
validity indicate how well a method,
technique, test, or instrument is truly
measuring what it intends to measure.
The contractor has conducted
precursor psychometric testing on the
Team Assessment Tool, which included
the following: (1) Item wording and
scale refinement, (2) Project Team
Subject Matter Expert content review,
(3) Non-Project Team Subject Matter
Expert review, (4) End-user feedback,
and (5) Instrument refinement. This
work puts the reliability and validity of
the indicators of the instrument at an
optimal starting point for full
psychometric testing.
Full psychometric testing of this
instrument means the scaling must be
evaluated extensively, which will
require a sample of at least 359
individual care team members
(physicians, nurses, ancillary staff, etc.,)
from diverse clinical settings to
participate in a 15-minute, anonymous,
online survey distributed via a shared
electronic survey link. Individual care
team members will be recruited from
across 9 health systems or care settings.
The survey will ask participants to read
through and complete the questions;
participants will not be privy to the
results of the survey.
The contractor will examine this
sample of results via analyses to
determine the stability of the instrument
and its indicators, ensuring parallel
measurements, homogeneity among
indicators, concurrent, convergent, and
discriminant validity, latent constructs
of the tool, the extent to which measures
of the same concept correlate and
diverge, and the degree of that
correlation in evaluating the
instrument’s ability to discriminate
between different groups with various
levels and familiarity with safety
culture. It is important to note the
responses on the surveys are not being
evaluated, but rather the consistency
with which the questions are answered
is being evaluated (i.e., determining
whether the questions are being
interpreted the same by all the users),
despite diverse healthcare settings and
varying levels of experience and
familiarity with TeamSTEPPS. The
combination of these psychometric
methods will allow for internal and
external validity and reliability to be
assessed, to create a psychometrically
sound instrument vetted for potential
widespread adoption.
The Team Assessment Tool
instrument will undergo remote
usability testing of a survey to refine
questions. To execute this task, the
contractor has assembled an
interprofessional team to execute any or
all of the following methods for
generating reliability and validity
evidence that would be applicable to
this specific tool: (1) Parallel forms
reliability, (2) internal consistency
reliability, (3) inter-rater reliability, (4)
content validity, and (5) construct
validity, using a multitrait-multimethod
matrix and/or known groups testing.
This information collection has the
following goal:
1. To determine the stability of the
Team Assessment Tool instrument and
its indicators in improving
communication to reduce diagnostic
errors, by quantitatively examining the
correlation among responses of each
indicator.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, MedStar
Health Research Institute, 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 vale of healthcare
services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement. 42
U.S.C 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goal of this project the
following information collection
instruments will be completed using
individual surveys:
(1) Setting Demographics Survey:
Prior to testing of the instrument, each
health system will take a brief survey to
describe the characteristics of the sites
engaged in pilot testing (e.g., size,
diagnostic team member role diversity,
and familiarity with patient safety and
quality improvement activities).
(2) TeamSTEPPS® Team Assessment
Tool for Improving Diagnosis: This is
collected from individual survey
respondents, who are diverse staff
members in a diagnostic team. The
consistency with which the questions
are interpreted and answered among
respondents will be evaluated to
determine the stability among indicators
on the instrument.
AHRQ will use the information
collected through this Information
Collection Request to assess and
enhance the feasibility of adopting a
course to improve communication
among providers related to diagnosis.
AHRQs’ ability to publicly share a Team
Assessment Tool that has been
scientifically validated is expected to be
of great interest to the health care
community and important in helping
organizations prioritize improvement
efforts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
