Improvements in teamwork during neonatal resuscitation after interprofessional TeamSTEPPS training.
To determine the impact of interprofessional Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS ) training on teamwork skills during neonatal resuscitation. ⋯ Significant improvements in teamwork skills were seen in team structure, leadership, situation monitoring, mutual support, and communication (p ,.001). Challenges by nurses to a scripted medication order error doubled from 38 percent before the training to 77 percent after the training. The odds of a nurse challenging an incorrect medication dose from an attending neonatologist improved significantly. Detection and correction of inadequate chest compressions increased from 61.5 to 84.6 percent after the training.
