Title: PC9 - Team Intelligence in Action: The Only Way to Keep Patients Safe

Disciplines: Childbearing (CB)

Learning Objectives:
  1. Recognize the difference between team intelligence and emotional intelligence
  2. Review the difference between a team in name only and a real team and understand the need to adapt the Aviation safety model to healthcare
  3. Apply tools learned to engage in team building and real communication
Submission Description:
Between 200000 and 400,000 patients die each year. The only way to enhance the kind of advocacy that prevents medical errors and injuries is to move beyond emotional intelligence to team intelligence. But how do we create teams, genuine team communication and thus patient safety and how do nurses lead such teams, act on them as assertive members, and encourage real team training in their institutions
