Safer delivery of surgical services: a programme of controlled before-and-after intervention studies with pre-planned pooled data analysis.
McCulloch P, Morgan L, Flynn L, et al. Health Services and Delivery Research. Southampton, UK: NIHR Journals Library; 2016.
This publication reports five British hospitals' experiences with teamwork interventions in surgical teams. Although teamwork training alone improved how teams functioned, it did not always enhance clinical performance. The investigators found that integrated training that combines technical and social improvements, such as Lean, resulted in more effective improvements.

TeamSTEPPS: Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety.
- Classic
Washington, DC: Department of Defense. Rockville, MD: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; 2016.
Effective teamwork plays an essential role in providing safe patient care. The Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) program was developed in collaboration by the United States Department of Defense and AHRQ in order to support effective communication and teamwork in health care. This updated version of the widely implemented program provides new tools to measure its impact, supports increased emphasis on the role of effective communication in team training, and includes a new course management guide. Teamwork training programs have been shown to improve knowledge and attitudes, but have received mixed reviews on their effectiveness in changing behaviors. An AHRQ WebM&M commentary discussed how improved teamwork and shared decision-making might have prevented the unnecessary placement of a peripherally inserted central catheter that led to significant complications.

Health Care Simulation to Advance Safety: Responding to Ebola and Other Threats.
Rockville, MD: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; February 2015. AHRQ Publication No. 15-0021.
Simulation has been advocated as a way to enhance safety in health care, including efforts to augment teamwork training and identify risks. This issue brief discusses the role of simulation as an improvement strategy, particularly for use in preparing health care professionals in treating patients with Ebola and other future viral outbreaks. A recent AHRQ WebM&M case study using simulation found that the use of protective equipment for Ebola was inadequate and that it improved with training
