Abstract
Background: The TeamSTEPPS® Performance Observation Tool (TPOT) is an instrument used in the evaluation of team performance: however, no assessment of the tool’s reliability or validity exists among nurse educators. Methods: A convenience sample of 31 nurse educators completed the TPOT to assess the reliability and validity of the instrument. Results: Using Cronbach’s alpha, the TPOT demonstrated a strong internal consistency coefficient. Through cross-group analysis of scoring between undergraduate and graduate nursing faculty, some evidence for convergent validity was confirmed. Conclusion: This pilot study establishes the internal consistency reliability and convergent validity of the TPOT instrument when used by nurse faculty.

Despite TeamSTEPPS® set as the gold standard for health care team training, to date there has not been testing for reliability and validity of a tool that measures team performance based upon the curriculum
Summary
The TeamSTEPPS® Performance Observation Tool (TPOT) is an instrument used in the evaluation of team performance: no assessment of the tool’s reliability or validity exists among nurse educators. TeamSTEPPS® stands for Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety. TeamSTEPPS® is a comprehensive set of materials and training curriculum which seeks to improve patient safety through the use of team-based principles. The TeamSTEPPS® program was created by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Department of Defense (DOD). TeamSTEPPS® was adopted as the national standard for healthcare team training in November 2006 [4]. Despite TeamSTEPPS® set as the gold standard for health care team training, to date there has not been testing for reliability and validity of a tool that measures team performance based upon the curriculum
