Implementation of Training

APPENDIX

A TEAMWORK AND DIAGNOSTIC SKILLS TRAINING PROCESS

Develop case studies based on lessons learned from other facilities. These

case studies could be video- or text-based and should include both good

examples and bad examples.

Develop an open discussion session with the team. This open discussion

should concentrate on how they can improve as a team. Discussions should

include lessons learned at your own facility.

Develop practice training based on learning objectives.

Use combinations of on the job, simulation, seminar, and role-play

methods.

Base exercises on actual incident situations where possible.

Conduct peer and instructor critiques. Video taping the role-plays and

exercises can be beneficial if it is appropriate.

Develop team task training scenarios.

Emphasize achieving realism in scenario design as appropriate for

the training objectives of the exercise.

Design scenarios to exercise team and diagnostic skills.

Develop instructor exercise guides that include team and diagnostic

skills objectives and cues to observe those skills.

Evaluate new scenarios and instructor exercise guides.

Use evaluation to maintain and upgrade training.

5. Implementation of Training

During the implementation phase, teamwork and diagnostic skills training is conducted. This

is where the technical skills and team skills of individuals come together in the training of

tasks performed by a work team. Typically this training includes exercising a team in the

performance of a variety of normal, abnormal, and emergency evolutions. This phase lends

itself well to applying diagnostics training fundamentals to abnormal situations.

Provide instructors with basic team and diagnostic skills training to increase

awareness of desired skills.
