This website offers resources, contact information, tools, and registration information  about the TeamSTEPPS National implementation plan.

TeamSTEPPS is an evidence-based teamwork system aimed at optimizing patient outcomes by improving communication and teamwork skills among health care professionals. It includes a comprehensive set of ready-to-use materials and a training curriculum to successfully integrate teamwork principles into any health care system.

At the core of the National Implementation are eight Regional Training Centers;,These centers offer training to create a national network of master trainers, who will in turn offer TeamSTEPPS training to frontline providers in hospitals and other health care settings throughout the country. The TeamSTEPPS National Implementation Project will also provide support and guidance for all TeamSTEPPS users, from the beginner through the advanced implementer, through an online user support network. This network will ensure proper implementation of TeamSTEPPS principles by offering channels of communication through Web conferences, a discussion forum, and a Web site. Trainees will also receive continuing education through new tools and measures that are researched, developed, and validated to supplement the curriculum. Collection of evaluation data at the national level will document the impact of the National Implementation of TeamSTEPPS Project.

Each year an annual collaborative of TeamSTEPPS users meets at a different location for 2 days of educational offerings, networking, and community building.
