Team Performance in Emergency Medicine (MedTeams), Draft 3, Instructor Guide

Abstract

The Emergency Team Coordination Course is a spin-off from a highly successful research program executed for the United States Army Aviation Command. It is envisioned that this will be a dual-use program with both military and civilian benefits. Emergency health care teams bring all of their technical skills and their team coordination skills to work every day. With these skills, the team must manage resources to their patients' benefit. A fundamental premise of the MedTeams Project is that teamwork is a learnable set of skills. Unlike traditional team development which focuses more on improving group dynamics and interpersonal relationships, this program focuses on a concrete set of understandings and behavioral skills applicable in the emergency care environment.
