Instructions for Observers
-
Use the behaviour descriptors to examine how 'situational awareness' is established and maintained in the team. You can observe an individual (e.g. a leader) or the collective behaviors of team members.
What is Situational Awareness?
-
Situational Awareness refers to how individuals AND teams work to develop and maintain an overall awareness of the work setting. This is based on observing all areas of the clinical work environment (patient, team, team dynamics, equipment, time,) and monitoring how information is gathered and shared.
The Observer checklist has 3 sections*
1. Information Gathering
2. Recognizing and Understanding
3. Anticipating -
* Check List is adapted and modified from ANTS (see link)
