Teaching Non-Clinical TeamSTEPPS

Truly successful health care teams are those that involve the whole staff and not just those with a clinical background. Non-clinical staff are often left out of TeamSTEPPS trainings and implementation plans, which means you could be missing vital team members such as administrators, environmental services, office managers, and IT just to name a few. But including these team members and embedding TeamSTEPPS into non-clinical areas is a great way to ensure sustainability of your TeamSTEPPS program. Our new, virtual workshop series Teaching Non-Clinical TeamSTEPPS: Growing Your Expert Team will provide an overview of how to use the TeamSTEPPS tools non-clinically while also identifying ways to teach the tools from a non-clinical perspective so everyone is included.

Attending this workshop series has great benefits:

• Tools that provide the biggest value will be broken out into bite-sized chunks to make the curriculum easily digestible.
• You’ll walk away with ideas for implementing TeamSTEPPS into non-clinical situations and workflows in addition to resources to train your non-clinical team.
• Expand your expert team to include your non-clinical colleagues.

Workshop Schedule and Overview

The workshop series will occur once a week across five weeks (skipping the week of Thanksgiving). The first live virtual workshop will be on Tuesday, November 17.

Workshop One - Workshop Introduction and High Performing Teams	Tuesday, November 17 10:00 - 11:30am CT
Workshop Two - 100 Level Tools You Can Use Today	Wednesday, December 2 10:00 - 11:30am CT

All live workshops will be held on Zoom. If you are unable to attend a live session, a recording will be made available to you.

The live workshops will follow a similar format for each tool presented: 1) education on the tool, 2) case examples and best practices for implementing and coaching the tool, and 3) facilitation strategies when teaching the tools to others whether in teachable moments or formal presentations.
