Discover how utilizing Family Systems Theories and TeamSTEPPS creates a powerful health care team dynamic. Dr. Sanne Henninger will discuss this innovative approach that aims to enhance the evaluation of teams, build collaboration, communication, and overall effectiveness within health care teams, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
This webinar will showcase the interconnectedness of individuals within a team, drawing parallels between the dynamics of a family system and those of a health care team. By applying principles from Family Systems Theories and TeamSTEPPS, participants gain insight into how individual behaviors, communication patterns, and relationships impact the functioning of the team as a whole.

Truly successful health care teams encompass the entire staff, not just those with clinical backgrounds. But how can we effectively teach TeamSTEPPS tools to non-clinical staff? Aren’t these tools solely for improving clinical performance and patient safety? The answer is no. TeamSTEPPS tools are versatile and adaptable, whether treating a patient, collaborating in meetings or managing daily communications. Embedding TeamSTEPPS into non-clinical situations and processes is essential for long-term sustainability for both clinicians and non-clinicians.
This webinar introduces TeamSTEPPS concepts and tools to enhance teamwork, communication and leadership from a non-clinical perspective. Learn how to make meetings more meaningful and efficient, and empower all team members to voice their concerns confidently. You will walk away with facilitation strategies to teach TeamSTEPPS tools non-clinically through engaging scenarios and activities, while also exploring innovative ways to integrate TeamSTEPPS beyond direct patient care.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the need to teach all members of the health care team, clinical and non-clinical alike, TeamSTEPPS tools from the non-clinical perspective
- Identify strategies to facilitate the TeamSTEPPS tools non-clinically
- Explore innovative ways to integrate TeamSTEPPS beyond direct patient care to enhance sustainability
- Discuss how implementing TeamSTEPPS into non-clinical situations and processes can improve communication, teamwork and leadership
