00:00.009 --> 00:02.065
Army Reserve soldiers of the medical

00:02.065 --> 00:04.231
readiness and training commands . 73rd

00:04.231 --> 00:06.120
or third medical training support

00:06.120 --> 00:08.319
battalion hosted a team strategies and

00:08.329 --> 00:10.162
tools to enhance performance and

00:10.162 --> 00:13.039
patient safety or steps . Training at

00:13.050 --> 00:15.106
Rochester , Minnesota's world famous

00:15.106 --> 00:17.328
Mayo clinic . Lieutenant Colonel Dexter

00:17.328 --> 00:19.328
Mons , the officer in charge of the

00:19.328 --> 00:21.328
team steps . Training at the clinic

00:21.328 --> 00:23.328
said military medical professionals

00:23.328 --> 00:25.272
from different backgrounds , learn

00:25.272 --> 00:27.549
universal medical procedures and terms

00:27.559 --> 00:29.726
what we saw with the soldiers that the

00:29.726 --> 00:32.029
soldiers placed in a variety of

00:32.040 --> 00:34.750
scenarios . Uh intensive care unit ,

00:34.759 --> 00:37.950
laboratory , uh clinical environment

00:37.959 --> 00:41.270
duties that are needed to take care of

00:41.279 --> 00:43.612
all the soldiers in private first class .

00:43.612 --> 00:45.557
Caitlin Franklin said the training

00:45.557 --> 00:47.557
showed her the importance of proper

00:47.557 --> 00:50.270
communication . This training has given

00:50.279 --> 00:53.270
me like more confidence and I feel more

00:53.279 --> 00:56.979
capable and ready to mobilize of my

00:56.990 --> 00:59.157
unit . I am with the field hospital is

00:59.157 --> 01:01.268
to and share this information with my

01:01.268 --> 01:03.434
unit to make my unit better prepared .

01:03.434 --> 01:05.657
What units take away from team steps is

01:05.657 --> 01:07.323
the ability to communicate uh

01:07.323 --> 01:09.101
collegially and be able to work

01:09.101 --> 01:11.268
together more cohesively to reduce the

01:11.268 --> 01:13.434
risk of patient uh medication errors .

01:13.434 --> 01:15.546
While the soldiers work through their

01:15.546 --> 01:17.657
scenario , observer controllers watch

01:17.657 --> 01:19.712
from behind two way mirrors with the

01:19.712 --> 01:21.768
ability to adjust vital signs of the

01:21.768 --> 01:23.601
patient mannequins . I know that

01:23.601 --> 01:25.601
there's someone there . I know that

01:25.601 --> 01:27.768
kind of we're getting feedback on it .

01:27.768 --> 01:29.990
But in the actual training , it doesn't

01:29.990 --> 01:29.930
feel like they're there , it feels like

01:29.940 --> 01:32.169
everything that's in the room is kind

01:32.180 --> 01:35.220
of like going on . But you kind of

01:35.230 --> 01:37.730
don't realize that there's a man behind

01:37.739 --> 01:40.029
there or a woman behind there . Johnson

01:40.040 --> 01:42.440
said the team steps program was heavily

01:42.449 --> 01:44.616
influenced by the lessons learned from

01:44.616 --> 01:46.727
the aviation industry . They realized

01:46.879 --> 01:49.046
um during accident investigations that

01:49.046 --> 01:51.212
many of the many of the accidents that

01:51.212 --> 01:53.323
occurred were actually preventable by

01:53.323 --> 01:55.268
utilizing standardized checklist ,

01:55.268 --> 01:57.157
standard operating procedures and

01:57.157 --> 01:59.323
standardized communication . So we all

01:59.323 --> 02:01.268
came from different environments ,

02:01.268 --> 02:03.490
different units and it's our first time

02:03.490 --> 02:05.546
working together . Communication was

02:05.546 --> 02:07.712
critical . Essentially the entire time

02:07.712 --> 02:10.046
reporting for the army Reserve sergeant ,

02:10.046 --> 02:12.320
