Specifically, the hospitals began TeamSTEPPS (Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety), a teamwork system designed by the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Department of Defense to develop staff leadership and communication skills.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 150 clinical and non-clinical employees were trained in 2013 as TeamSTEPPS trainers. These staff members attended a two-day training program, where they learned how to integrate teamwork principals into all areas of healthcare. To date,\u00a0800 clinical and non-clinical employees have been trained by Jamaica Hospital\u2019s TeamSTEPPS trainers and\u00a0500 clinical\u00a0employees have been trained at FHMC. The\u00a0goal\u00a0for 2014 is to train\u00a080%-100% of all hospital employees.\u00a0This year JHMC\u00a0will be scheduling\u00a0several\u00a0TeamSTEPPS workshops and train the trainer sessions.\u00a0FHMC will also continue training all clinical staff,\u00a0starting with a training session that is scheduled for the end of March for the entire OR staff.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResearch has shown that there are several benefits to TeamSTEPPS,\u201d said Tianna Masko,\u00a0Assistant Director, Learning and Organizational Development, MediSys Health Network. \u201cBy truly incorporating TeamSTEPPS into our culture, we will produce highly effective teams, increase team awareness, resolve conflict better, and improve information sharing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result, we improve patient safety and quality care and we make our healthcare organization the very best there is,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Share Last year, Jamaica and Flushing Hospitals made tremendous strides in creating and implementing ways to improve and deliver safe quality care to patients.
