Slide 8 CUSP Teams’ Group Processes	Effective Group Processes include Role Clarity Effective Team Communication Conflict Resolution Education and Engagement Leadership Buy-in and Support Norms	Effective group processes include role clarity, effective team communication, conflict resolution, education and engagement, and leadership buy-in and support and norms.
Slide 9 Team Performance	Inputs Environment Hospital unit and context Team composition Task design Processes Inside team Outside team Team traits Outputs Change in: Performance Attitudes Behaviors	Inputs into team performance are environment, hospital unit and context, team composition, and task design, Processes that are developed as a result of the inputs affect events that take place within the team and outside the team and influence team traits. Outputs from the inputs and processes produce a change in performance, attitudes, and behaviors that influence team performance.
Slide 10 Barriers to Team Performance¹	Inconsistency in team membership Lack of time Lack of information sharing Hierarchy Varying communication styles Presence of conflict Lack of coordination and follow up Misinterpretation of cues Lack of role clarity	Team member standing before a brick wall.
Slide 11 Stages of Engagement	Engagement: "To involve one’s self or become occupied; to participate fully and deeply" Active support of the project Engaged Apathy Aversion Uninvolved	An arrow sweeps upward and, starting from the bottom, contains the terms "uninvolved," "aversion," "apathy," and "engaged."
Slide 12 Engage Team Members Using the 4 E’s²	Engage (adaptive) How does this make the world a better place? Educate (technical) What do we need to know? Execute (adaptive) What do we need to do? What can we do with our resources and culture? Evaluate (technical) How do we know we improved safety? Senior leaders Team leaders Staff	The roles of staff, team leaders and senior leaders are interconnected when unit teams apply the 4 E’s. The 4 E’s require teams and their leaders to Engage, Educate, Execute, and Evaluate their involvement in the CUSP program. Gears symbolizing the roles of staff, unit team leaders, and senior leadership depict the interconnected and dependent relationship that exists between each aspect of the unit team.

Slide 24 Exercise	Create your team with attention to *who* is on the team. Carefully plan *how* you will act as a unified group. Do a "pre-mortem" assessment. If this project were to fail, why would it? What could the team have done to prevent failure?	Exercise icon
Slide 25 Assemble the Team: What the Team Needs To Do	Recruit a team lead, nurse manager, physician, and executive partner along with any other team members Meet with hospital departments (risk management, quality improvement, infection prevention) to ensure that CUSP efforts are integrated into overall hospital quality improvement and patient safety efforts List team member names and contact information on the Background Quality Improvement Team Information Form and post the form in a central location Use the 4 Es to ensure team engagement: Engage them in the process Educate them about their roles Execute the processes Evaluate what you did
Slide 26 Summary	The CUSP team will include health care providers, support and leadership staff. The "4 E’s" is a highly effective tool for recruiting team members Team members work together to identify barriers and address them as a group For teams to be successful, the roles and responsibilities of team members need to be clearly defined
