Department of Defense developed

Performance and Patient Safety, or
TeamSTEPPS®, an evidence-based
patient safety program. 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. Given the advancements
in health information technology,
changes in how care is delivered and a
recent emphasis on engaging patients
and families as members of the
healthcare team, the TeamSTEPPS
curriculum was significantly refreshed
in 2023 and made into a singular
comprehensive program to better
support teams in improving their
communication skills and collaboration.
The updated TeamSTEPPS training
will now be implemented in different
settings of various large and small

healthcare and healthcare-related
organization and institutions around the
country. Following implementation of
the updated training, an assessment for
change in individuals and teams is
necessary to examine the degree to
which the updated TeamSTEPPS
program enhances users experience,
improves the teams’ effectiveness,
streamlines team communication and
overall increases healthcare
professionals’ commitment to
interdisciplinary teamwork.
This project has the following goals:
(1) Assess the overarching short-term
(immediately after the training) impact
of the TeamSTEPPS program to
determine what improvements should
be made to the training and how it is
delivered, and
(2) Assess the long-term (3–9 months
after the training) impact of the
TeamSTEPPS program to determine
how trained participants use and
implement the TeamSTEPPS tools and
resources.
This project is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, Chatham
Communications, 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 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 goals of this project the
following data collections will be
implemented:
Online surveys: Data will be collected
from up to 30 trainees at each of 115
sites (i.e., up to 3,450 respondents) via
online surveys. All trainees will be
invited to complete the following online
surveys:
(1) Baseline Survey (administered
prior to training)
a. TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Attitudes
Questionnaire (T–TAQ)
b. Knowledge assessment
c. Self-reported event rates
(2) Post-training Survey (administered
immediately after training completion)
a. Participant Training Reactions and
Experiences
b. TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Attitudes
Questionnaire (T–TAQ)
c. Knowledge assessment
(3) Follow-up Survey (administered
3–9 months after training completion)
a. TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Perceptions
Questionnaire (T–TAP)
b. Self-reported behavior/
implementation activities
c. Facilitators and barriers to use of
TeamSTEPPS concepts, tools, or
strategies
d. Self-reported changes in awareness,
policies, or processes
e. Self-reported event rates
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for trainees’
time to participate in this data
collection. All trainees will complete:
(1) Pre-training Survey—estimated to
take 20 minutes per response.
(2) Post-training Survey—estimated to
take 20 minutes per response.
(3) Follow-up Survey—estimated to
take 20 minutes per response.
The total annual burden hours are
estimated to be 3,415.5 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden associated with
the respondents’ time to participate in
this data collection. The cost burden is
estimated to be $155,889.06.
