Team Training and Medication Administration in an Ambulance Service

"Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety® is a team training program consisting of an evidence-based set of tools designed to develop teamwork skills with the goal of improving quality in healthcare services and providing safer patient care. In this study, selected tools from the Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety® curriculum have been chosen for implementation over a 4-month period together with a general emphasis on the key principles: communication, leadership, situation monitoring and mutual support. A full day introduction will be held to mark the start of the intervention and each successive month will have a focus on a single key principle with associated tools.~A quasi-experimental, pre- post design, provides the framework for the intervention of the team training program in two clusters including seven ambulance stations, in total."
