TeamSTEPPS Canada Essentials Course
Learn to use teamwork and communication tools to help you and your healthcare team function better.
Seventy percent of all preventable harm events experienced by patients are linked to a breakdown in communication. The TeamSTEPPS Canada Essentials Course helps healthcare organizations optimize patient care by improving communication and teamwork skills among healthcare professionals, including point-of-care staff.
TeamSTEPPS Canada is based on a program jointly developed by the United States Department of Defense and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and has been contextualized for use in the Canadian healthcare context.
The TeamSTEPPS Canada Essentials course is built on an evidence-based framework to optimize team performance across the healthcare delivery system. It consists of five key principles: team structure, communication, leading teams, situation monitoring and mutual support.
