Their feedback and lessons learned have been invaluable to align this curriculum with training and implementation requirements. The leadership and 'change teams' in these facilities are commended for their steadfast efforts to integrate and sustain TeamSTEPPS in daily practice.As well, a special acknowledgement to Dr. John Kotter for sharing ideas and giving us the opportunity to incorporate the pre-publication of "Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions" within the change management and implementation modules. This book helped everyone quickly grasp the 8-step process for successful change in an entertaining, yet relevant, way.A special appreciation to COL Steven Grimes, Director of the DoD Patient Safety Program, the Leadership in the Office of the Chief Medical Officer, and the Patient Safety Planning and Coordination Committee members for leading the Military Health System to a culture of safety, through TeamSTEPPS and a multitude of other patient safety improvement strategies.Thanks to the teamwork between two large federal agencies, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense(Health Affairs)/TRICARE Management Activity) we have been successful to make TeamSTEPPS available to our healthcare community.Lastly, we want to thank those who set aside time from their already packed schedules to provide brief testimonials. They include a compassionate mom who advocates relentlessly on behalf of patients, a physician champion, a patient safety officer, and senior executives. We are grateful for their commitment to quality, safe healthcare expending valuable resources-most significantly-human capital and time. These recognized leaders remain instrumental in promoting a culture of safety for the patients we serve and everyone involved in our healthcare delivery organizations.TESTIMONIALSSusan Sheridan, MIM, MBA President for Consumers Advancing Patient Safety; Spokesperson for World Health Organization's World Health Alliance for Patient SafetyWilliam Winkenwerder, Jr. MD, MBA, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health AffairsDavid Tornberg, MD, MPH, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Clinical and Program Policy, and Chief Medical Officer, TRICARE Management ActivityCarolyn Clancy, MD, Director, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Department of Health and Human ServicesLTC(P) Peter Napolitano, MC, USA, Madigan Army Medical Center, Fort Lewis, WAKaren Frush, BSN, MD, Chief Patient Safety Officer, Duke University Health Care SystemReturn to Contents Current as of December 2012 Internet Citation: acknowl.htm.
