SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Project 

TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master Trainer 

Course 

This notice announces the intention 

of the Agency for Healthcare Research 

and Quality (AHRQ) to request that the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approve the proposed 

information collection project: 

‘‘TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master 

Trainer Course.’’ In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 

3501–3521, AHRQ invites the public to 

comment on this proposed information 

collection. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104– 

13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), AHRQ 

invites the public to comment on this 

proposed information collection. 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 

TeamSTEPPS® (Team Strategies and 

Tools for Enhancing Performance and 

Patient Safety) to provide an evidencebased suite of tools and strategies for 

training teamwork-based 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. 

Created in 2007, AHRQ’s National 

Implementation Program trains Master 

Trainers who have stimulated the use 

and adoption of TeamSTEPPS in health 

care delivery systems. These individuals 

were trained during two-day, 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 user networks, various 

educational venues, and other channels 

of learning for continued support and 

the improvement of teamwork in health 

care. Since the inception of the National 

Implementation Program, AHRQ has 

trained more than 6,000 participants to 

serve as TeamSTEPPS Master Trainers. 

The success of the National 

Implementation Program resulted in 

increased requests for in-person 

training, with wait lists for training at 

times exceeding 500 individuals. AHRQ 

has been unable to match the demand 

for TeamSTEPPS Master Training. 

To address this prevailing need, 

AHRQ developed TeamSTEPPS 2.0 

Online Master Trainer course, which 

mirrors the TeamSTEPPS 2.0 core 

curriculum and provides equivalent 

training to the in-person classes offered 

through the National Implementation 

Program. 

As part of this initiative, AHRQ seeks 

to continue 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. 

The TeamSTEPPS 2.0 Online Master 

Trainer program is led by Reingold, Inc. 

This study is being conducted by 

Reingold’s subcontractor, IMPAQ 

International (IMPAQ). This study is 

being conducted 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 6 months post-training. 

Each activity is briefly described below.
