TeamSTEPPS is an evidence-based set of teamwork tools, aimed at optimizing patient outcomes by improving communication and teamwork skills among health care professionals. It includes a comprehensive set of ready-to-use materials and a training curriculum to successfully integrate teamwork principles into any health care system.
At the core of the national implementation are five regional training centers at (from East to West):
- North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System in New Hyde Park, New York (NSLIJ)
- Duke Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina (Duke)
- Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana (Tulane)
- University of Minnesota Fairview Medical Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota (UM)
- University of Washington Medicine, Seattle, Washington (UW)
These centers offer training to create a national network of master trainers, who will in turn offer TeamSTEPPS training to frontline providers in hospitals and other health care settings throughout the country.
