PLENARY III

Teamwork and communication in the perinatal setting:

Jennifer Ann Tessmer-Tuck, MD What's all the fuss and what's in it for me?

Poor communication, lack of training and organizational culture are among the top causes of sentinel

events leading to patient harm in the hospital setting. Perinatal practices are complex,

multidisciplinary and multi-professional hospital environments that demand high levels of

communication and interdisciplinary coordination to prevent patient harm, especially during sudden

and life-threatening emergencies. In this lively and engaging session, you will be introduced to the

basics of TeamSTEPPS® teamwork and communication skills and be excited to bring these skills and

ideas back to your own perinatal unit. Objectives include: Explain the scientific basis for crew resource

management and communication training in the hospital setting. Identify the four core TeamSTEPPS®

principles of leadership, communication, situational awareness and mutual support. Acquire

TeamSTEPPS® tools and techniques that you can take back to your perinatal unit and implement

immediately. Challenge yourself to consider what a full TeamSTEPPS® implementation would involve

for your unit and consider how to make this happen in 2016.
