Program Development Goals 1. Create high preforming OR teams Shift from teams of high performers, to high performing teams Develop Local, Teamwork Focused Simulation Trainers TeamSTEPPS Train in teams familiar environment Within their own teams Using their own equipment and instruments Using scenarios they developed Focus on teaming skills, not clinical expertise Low fidelity Local ownership 2. Utilize industry leading practices Briefs, Debriefs, team empowerment tools Debrief data collecting tool/process 9

Select Additional SLIDE MASTER Operating to Insert Briefing Room Title Here Brief and Debrief Implementation Data 1. Participation in a medical team training program was associated with 18 % lower surgical mortality. 2. Decreased case delays and improved case scores. 3. Decreased patient harm through improved identification of surgical defects/issues. 46% of issues were identified in surgical team briefings 54% during debriefings. 4. Improves interdisciplinary communication and teamwork in the OR. * For references see next slide

Role: OMFS Select SLIDE MASTER to Insert Briefing Title Here Setting: OR Surgery scheduled : Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) Instructions for scenario: You have multiple back to back cases today. You are behind schedule and plan for this to be a speedy surgery. You have not had a chance to see the patient yet, but you go into the room to ensure everything is set to go. When surgery is underway: request incorrect instruments that have a singular use. Please behave out of character and act upset and impatient with staff. Otherwise, proceed as you usually would for this case.
Setting: OR Surgery scheduled : Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) Role: Nurse Instructions for scenario: Settle patient in the OR suite. Provide care as usual.
Role: Tech 1 Select SLIDE MASTER to Insert Briefing Title Here Setting: OR Surgery scheduled : Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) Instructions for scenario: Set up room for the IVRO. You are sluggish today because you came into work sick.
Setting: OR Surgery scheduled : Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) Role: Anesthesia Instructions for scenario: From your interview with the patient, you understand that the case today to be intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO).
Role: Tech 2 Select SLIDE MASTER to Insert Briefing Title Here Setting: OR Surgery scheduled : Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) Instructions for scenario: Care for patient as per protocol.
Hospital Teams Are Left With: Culture change plan for integration, sustainment and communication Experienced TeamSTEPPS Coaches and Trainers Library of their own simulation exercises New TtS agenda to include simulation 29
Lessons Learned Pre-course planning is critical Leadership engagement is not negotiable Prep the attendees Multidisciplinary planning team is a must 30
Lessons Learned Work within existing unit processes and practice Have data management plan prior to training Accountability though reporting Planning Team Coaching post-implementation Flexibility is key 31
