‘‘TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master 

Trainer Course.’’ In accordance with the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Project 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer 

Course 

As part of its effort to fulfill its 

mission goals, AHRQ, in collaboration 

with the U.S. Department of Defense’s 

TRICARE Management Activity, 

developed TeamSTEPP51) (aka, Team 

Strategies and Tools for Enhancing 

Performance and Patient Safety) to 

provide an evidence-based suite of tools 

and strategies for training teamworkbased patient safety to health care 

professionals. TeamSTEPPS includes 

multiple toolkits, which are all tied to 

or are variants of the core curriculum. 

TeamSTEPPS resources have been 

developed for primary care, rapid 

response systems, long-term care, and 

patients with limited English 

proficiency. 

The main objective of the 

TeamSTEPPS program is to improve 

patient safety by training health care 

staff in various teamwork, 

communication, and patient safety 

concepts, tools, and techniques and 

ultimately helping to build national 

capacity for supporting teamwork-based 

patient safety efforts in health care 

organizations. Since 2007, AHRQ’s 

National Implementation Program has 

produced (and continues to produce) 

Master Trainers who have stimulated 

the use and adoption of TeamSTEPPS in 

health care delivery systems. These 

individuals were trained during twoday, in-person classes using the 

TeamSTEPPS core curriculum at 

regional training centers across the U.S. 

AHRQ has also provided technical 

assistance and consultation on 

implementing TeamSTEPPS and has 

developed various channels of learning 

(e.g., user networks, various educational 

venues) for continued support and the 

improvement of teamwork in health 

care. Since the inception of the National 

Implementation Program, AHRQ has 

trained more than 5,000 participants to 

serve as TeamSTEPPS Master Trainers. 

Despite the success of the National 

Implementation Program and the 

availability of training through this 

initiative, AHRQ has been unable to 

match the demand for TeamSTEPPS 

Master Training. Wait lists for training 

often exceed 500 individuals at any 

given time. 

To address this prevailing need, 

AHRQ has launched an effort to develop 

and provide TeamSTEPPS training 

online. This program, known as 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer 

course, will mirror the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 

core curriculum and provide equivalent 

training to the in-person classes offered 

through the National Implementation 

Program. 

As part of this initiative, AHRQ seeks 

to conduct an evaluation of the 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer 

program. This evaluation seeks to 

understand the effectiveness of 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master 

Training and what revisions might be 

required to improve the training 

program. 

This research has the following goals: 

(1) Conduct a formative assessment of 

the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master 

Trainer program to determine what 

improvements should be made to the 

training and how it is delivered, and 

(2) Identify how trained participants 

use and implement the TeamSTEPPS 

tools and resources. 

This study is being conducted by 

AHRQ through its contractor, Reingold, 

Inc., pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory 

authority to conduct and support 

research on health care and on systems 

for the delivery of such care, including 

activities with respect to the quality, 

effectiveness, efficiency, 

appropriateness, and value of health 

care services and with respect to quality 

measurement and improvement, 42 

U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2). 

Method of Collection 

To achieve this project’s goals, AHRQ 

will train participants using the 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer 

program and then survey these 

participants six months post-training. 

Each activity is briefly described below. 

1. TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master 

Trainer Course. This training program, 

which includes 13 accredited hours of 

training, is based on the TeamSTEPPS 

2.0 instructional materials and will be 

delivered online to 3,000 participants. 

The training will cover the core 

TeamSTEPPS tools and strategies, 

coaching, organizational change, and 

implementation science. 

2. TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online PostTraining Survey. This online instrument 

will be administered to all participants 

who completed TeamSTEPPS 2.0 

Online Master Training. The survey will 

be administered six months after 

participants complete the training. 

This is a new data collection for the 

purpose of conducting an evaluation of 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer 

program. The evaluation will be 

primarily formative in nature as AHRQ 

seeks information to improve the 

delivery of the training. 

To conduct the evaluation, the 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Post-Training 

Survey will be administered to all 

individuals who completed the 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer 

program six months after training. The 

purpose of the survey is to assess the 

degree to which participants felt 

prepared by the training and what they 

did to implement TeamSTEPPS. 

Specifically, participants will be asked 

about their reasons for participating in 

the program; the degree to which they 

feel the training prepared them to train 

others in and use TeamSTEPPS; what 

tools they have implemented in their 

organizations; and resulting changes 

they have observed in the delivery of 

care. 

Estimated Annual Respondent Burden 

Exhibit 1 shows the estimated 

annualized burden hours for the 

respondent’s time to participate in the 

study. The TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online 

Post-Training Survey will be completed 

by approximately 3,000 individuals and 

is estimated to require 20 minutes to 

complete. The total annualized burden 

is estimated to be 10,000 hours. 

Exhibit 2 shows the estimated 

annualized cost burden based on the 

respondents’ time to participate in the 

study. The total cost burden is estimated 

to be $35,344.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Abstract: The information collection 

activity will gamer qualitative customer 

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but which is not based on statistical 

surveys that yield quantitative results 

that can be generalized to the 

population of study. This feedback will 

provide insights into customer or 

stakeholder perceptions, experiences 

and expectations, provide an early 

warning of issues with service, or focus 

attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

Agency and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

The current clearance was approved on 

July 24th, 2011 (OMB Control Number 

0935–0179) and will expire on July 31st, 

2014. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but it will not yield data 

that can be generalized to the overall 

population. This type of generic 

clearance for qualitative information 

does not apply to quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliable results, such 

as monitoring trends over time or 

documenting program performance. 

Such data uses require more rigorous
