Exercise InstructionsGoal: You have 1 minute to build the tallest tower. Roles: Runners and Builders
Rules: Blocks are located at the front and back of the room. Runners retrieve blocks from bins but may only take 5 blocks at a
time. Builders build the tower using the pattern of 1 large, 3 small
blocks, repeat. No two blocks of the same color may touch. Runners are not allowed to build/ builders are not allowed to run. Any unused blocks that are not replaced in the storage bins before
time is called will result in subtraction from the tower height; one block subtracted for each unused block.
Report Out: Height of tower in blocks (minus unused blocks).

Video Discussion
• Patients are harmed as a result ofpoor communication and teamwork that results in medical errors− How often do medical errors occur?
− Why do medical errors occur?
− How can we prevent medical errors?
• Applies to non-clinical situations…goals are not achieved
…Improved teamwork and communications…
Ultimately, a culture of safety
Are you ready to be part of the transformation of health care?

How Often do Medical Errors Occur?

• 44,000 – 98,000 deaths per year in hospitals due to medical errors

• Equal to one jumbo jet crashing EVERY DAY!
• Where is CNN?

Impact of Medical Errors• From a 2010 analysis of a claims database
− 1.8% of hospital admissions experience a medical error (a preventable adverse outcome of medical care)
− Medical errors cost the US at least $19.5 billion/year
• From a random sample of 780 Medicare beneficiaries discharged Oct. 2008
− 13.5% of hospitalized Medicare beneficiaries experience an adverse event (44% were preventable)
− 1.5% experienced an event that contributed to their deaths (projects to 15,000 total patients/month)

Human Factors

• Study of the interaction between humans and elements of the system in which they live/work– Physical environment
– Tasks
– Tools/technology
– Organizational conditions
• Goal: achieve optimal interaction between social, technical, and physical elements of a system.

Why Do Errors Occur—Some Human Factors• Workload fluctuations
• Interruptions
• Fatigue
• Multi-tasking
• Failure to follow up
• Poor handoffs
• Ineffective communication
• Not following protocol
• Complacency
• Excessive professional courtesy
• Halo effect
• Passenger syndrome
• Rigid Hierarchies
• High-risk phase
• Strength of an idea
• Task fixation (lack of situational awareness)

Human Factors
1. Describe a human error that you made.
I ran a stop light.
Which human factors contribute to this error?
2. Describe a recent error made at your hospital.CNA had pt use IV pole to walk to bathroom; pt’s legs buckled and she fell. Walker & gait belt were in room.

• Army aviation crew coordination failures in mid-80s contributed to 147 aviation fatalities and cost more than $290 million
• The vast majority involved highly experienced aviators
• Failures were largely attributedto crew communication, workload management, and task prioritization

Evolution of TeamSTEPPS: US Air Force CRM History
• Mid to Late 80s AF bombers and heavy aircraft started CRM training
• 1992 Air Combat Command developed Aircrew Attention Management /CRM Training
• By 1998, CRM deployed uniformly across the AF
• Steady decline in human factors based mishaps since CRM training deployed
• AF Medical Service adapted training, rolled out in 2000

More Evidence• Exploding Literature
− Patient Care Team + Evidence-Based Practice = 1,128

• Studies in diverse patient populations demonstrate relationship between teamwork and
− Improved clinical processes
− Reduction in medical errors
− Improved surgical team performance
− Increased adherence to guidelines
− Decreased length of stay
− Increased functional status
− Decreased mortality

Your Contribution to the Evidence• Team training can result in transformational change in safety
culture when the work environment supports the transfer of learning to new behavior.
• Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture conducted in 24 hospitals before training one year after training
• To successfully implement and sustain new behaviors− Stay connected to the community via monthly calls
− Train supervisors/managers first so they can role model behaviors
− Provide multiple follow-up learning opportunities
− Job descriptions/performance evaluations include use of team skills

Teamwork Within Departments
1. People support one another in this department. (A1)
2. When a lot of work needs to be done quickly, we work together as a team to get the work done. (A3)
3. In this department, people treat each other with respect. (A4)
4. When one area in this department gets really busy, others help out. (A11)
