Empowering sustained patient safety: the benefits of combining top-down and bottom-up approaches.
Implementation of TeamSTEPPS for improving patient safety is examined via descriptive qualitative analysis of semistructured interviews with 21 informants at 12 hospitals. Implementation approaches fit 3 strategies: top-down, bottom-up, and combination. The top-down approach failed to develop enough commitment to spread implementation. The bottom-up approach was unable to marshal the resources necessary to spread implementation. Combining top-down and bottom-up, processes best facilitated the implementation and spread of the TeamSTEPPS safety initiative.

TeamSTEPPS implementation in community hospitals: adherence to recommended training approaches.
The purpose of this paper is to examine approaches taken by community hospital personnel and compare those to the best practices recommended by Weaver et al. The authors find that training implementation in community hospitals differs significantly from the established, research-based principles for effective team training described in the research literature, which is largely based in academic medical centers.
