To understand the baseline quality of team communication behaviors at our organization, we implemented institution-wide simulation training and measured the performance of safety behaviors of ad hoc teams in emergent situations.
Clinicians participated in 2 interprofessional video-recorded simulation scenarios, each followed by debriefing. Using a standardized evaluation instrument, 2 reviewers independently evaluated the presence or absence of desired team safety behaviors, including escalating care, sharing a mental model, establishing leadership, thinking out loud, and identifying roles and responsibilities. We also scored the quality of sharing the mental model, closed-loop communication, and overall team performance on a 7-point scale. Discordant reviews were resolved with scoring by an additional reviewer.
A total of 1404 clinicians participated in 398 simulation scenarios, resulting in 257 usable videos. Overall, teams exhibited desired behaviors at the following frequencies: escalating care, 85%; sharing mental models, 66%; verbally establishing leadership, 6%; thinking out loud, 87%; and identifying roles and responsibilities, 27%. Across all reviews, the quality of the graded behaviors (of 7 points) was 2.8 for shared mental models, 3.3 for closed-loop communication, and 3.2 for overall team performance.
In a simulation setting with ad hoc teams, there was variable performance on completing safety behaviors and only a fair quality of graded communication behaviors. These results establish a baseline assessment of communication and teamwork behaviors and will guide future quality improvement interventions.
为了了解我们组织内团队沟通行为的基线质量,我们实施了全机构模拟培训,并测量了紧急情况下临时团队的安全行为表现。
临床医生参与了 2 个跨专业的视频记录模拟场景,每个场景后都进行了讨论。使用标准化评估工具,2 位评审员独立评估期望的团队安全行为的存在或缺失情况,包括升级护理、共享心理模型、建立领导、大声思考和确定角色和职责。我们还对共享心理模型、闭环沟通和整体团队绩效的质量进行了 7 分制评分。有分歧的评审由额外的评审员进行评分来解决。
共有 1404 名临床医生参与了 398 个模拟场景,产生了 257 个可用视频。总体而言,团队表现出以下期望行为的频率:升级护理,85%;共享心理模型,66%;口头建立领导,6%;大声思考,87%;确定角色和职责,27%。在所有评审中,分级行为(7 分制)的质量为共享心理模型 2.8 分,闭环沟通 3.3 分,整体团队绩效 3.2 分。
在临时团队的模拟环境中,完成安全行为的表现存在差异,沟通行为的分级质量仅为一般。这些结果为沟通和团队合作行为建立了基线评估,并将指导未来的质量改进干预措施。
