(accepted for publication March 5, 2013). We developed a Standardized Assessment for Evaluation of Team Skills (SAFE-TeamS) in which actors portray health care team members in simulated challenging teamwork scenarios. This research sought to provide evidence of the validity and feasibility of SAFE-TeamS as a tool to support the advancement of science related to team skills training. Thirty-eight medical and nursing students were assessed using SAFE-TeamS before and after team skills training. SAFE-TeamS scores reflected improvement following training and were sensitive to individual differences. SAFE-TeamS was sensitive to individual differences and team skill training, providing evidence for validity. SAFE-TeamS provides a method to measure INDIVIDUAL team skills (rather than groups of providers).

Corvetto MA, Taekman JM. To Die or Not To Die? A Review of Simulated Death. Simul Healthc 2012. There is considerable controversy over whether to allow a simulator to die during a session when death is not a predefined learning objective. In this narrative review, we survey the literature on simulated death during health care training, present arguments for and against the broad incorporation of such training in curricula for health care providers, and outline recommendations for using death scenarios in health care simulation.

Departures from the protocol during conduct of a clinical trial: a pattern from the data record consistent with a learning curve. Qual Saf Health Care. Oct 2010;19(5):405-410.The VALsartan In Acute myocardial iNfarcTion, a large multinational, pragmatic, randomized, double-blind, multi-center trial, was retrospectively evaluated for evidence of research conduct consistent with a performance “learning curve.” 12 367 patients at 931 sites were analyzed. Departures (protocol violations and deviations) were more common for patients enrolled earlier at a site (p<0.0001). A similar pattern existed for queries. We concluded that research performance improved during the VALsartan In Acute myocardial iNfarcTion consistent with a “learning curve.” Although effects were not related to a change in outcome (mortality), learning curves in clinical research may have important safety, ethical, research quality and economic implications for trial conduct.

Qual Saf Health Care. Apr 27 2010.doi: 10.1136/qshc.2008.031732. A randomized controlled trial of four pedagogical methods commonly used to deliver teamwork training and measured the effects of each method on the acquisition of student teamwork knowledge, skills, and attitudes.The authors recruited 203 senior nursing students and 235 fourth-year medical students (total N 438) from two major universities for a 1-day interdisciplinary teamwork training course. All participants received a didactic lecture and then were randomly assigned to one of four educational methods: didactic (control), audience response didactic, role play and human patient simulation. Student performance was assessed for teamwork attitudes, knowledge and skills .Each of the four modalities demonstrated significantly improved teamwork knowledge and attitudes, but no modality was demonstrated to be superior. No modality demonstrated a significant change in teamwork skill behavior. This was the largest study to date comparing four pedagogical methods of teamwork training, a critical component of modern healthcare curricula.
Wright MC, Phillips-Bute BG, Petrusa ER, Griffin KL, Hobbs GW, Taekman JM. Assessing teamwork in medical education and practice: relating behavioural teamwork ratings and clinical performance. Med Teach. Jan 2009;31(1):30-38. Our main objective was to test the hypothesis that observer ratings of team skill will correlate with objective measures of clinical performance. Nine teams of medical students were videotaped performing two types of teamwork tasks: (1) low fidelity classroom-based patient assessment and (2) high fidelity simulated emergent care. Team skills and clinical skills were rated. There was moderate to high correlation between observer ratings of team skill and checklist-based measures of team performance for the simulated emergent care cases. These results provide prospective evidence of a positive relationship between observer ratings of team skills and clinical team performance in a simulated dynamic health care task.

We hypothesized that time of day of surgery would influence the incidence of anesthetic adverse events (AEs). Clinical observations reported in a quality improvement database were categorized into different AEs that reflected (1) error, (2) harm, and (3) other AEs (error or harm could not be determined) and were analyzed for effects related to start hour of care. As expected, there were differences in the rate of AEs depending on start hour of care. Our results indicate that clinical outcomes may be different for patients anesthetized at the end of the work day compared with the beginning of the day. Although this may result from patient related factors, medical care delivery factors such as case load, fatigue, and care transitions may also be influencing the rate of anesthetic AEs for cases that start in the late afternoon.

We hypothesized the addition of an interactive simulation exercise to standard training methods would increase the confidence of study coordinators. Eighteen study coordinators completed pre- and post exercise confidence questionnaires.A significant increase in overall confidence was seen in the simulation group. We confirmed that addition of a simulation exercise to the training of study coordinators resulted in increased confidence in their abilities to carry out the trial. The first description of an area we are pioneering at Duke: the use of high-fidelity simulation to improve the design and implementation of clinical trials.
