One-Hour Concurrent Session

Situational Awareness, Common Operational Picture, and Team Dynamics in Clinical Deterioration

Sunday, February 23, 2025
10:30am – 11:30am Eastern Time
Location: W311A
CE: 1

This session will delve into the nexus of situational awareness and common operational picture, crucial tools for real-time decision-making and a holistic view of patient status. These principles, combined with the dynamic team-of-teams approach, can transform care team efficiency, coherence, and ability to anticipate and manage clinical deterioration. Speakers will explore just-in-time training to empower clinicians with needed knowledge and skills exactly when they need them, enhancing the team’s adaptability and responsiveness. Expert insights and real-world case studies will be used to explore innovative strategies to improve team collaboration and foster resiliency. These approaches are not just compatible but actually reinforce one another to build an integrated approach to healthcare that prepares clinicians for today’s challenges and equips them to thrive in the face of future uncertainties, leading to improved patient outcomes and resilient healthcare systems.

Learning Objectives:

  • Differentiate between the team-of-teams framework and traditional team structures in healthcare settings
