Safe Table Forum

CHPSO Safe Table Forum – Trouble in the Trenches: Using TeamSTEPPS to Resolve Conflicts and Turn Tension into Teamwork

August 28, 2024 | 10:00 - 11:00AM PT

We learn in TeamSTEPPS training that “conflict is inevitable in all groups.” Fortunately, TeamSTEPPS provides tools and strategies to prevent and mitigate conflict in teams.

We’ll review real TeamSTEPPS examples from the Emergency Department and consider how conflict was potentially prevented. We’ll also examine a case where conflict was present and discuss how TeamSTEPPS tools kept the team safe and helped maintain professional relationships.

Presentation topics include:

  • Assess communication effectiveness among interdisciplinary team members
  • Identify barriers to effective communication
  • Select communication tools that foster collaboration and clarity
