Enhancing Collaboration: Leveraging TeamSTEPPS for Nonclinical Success

July 10, 2024

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.
