Abstract
Communication and team dynamics have been widely accepted as pillars of safety in the operating room setting and beyond, yet institutions still struggle with establishing a culture of safety that promotes these skills. Team training programs, prompted conversations embedded within workflows, and cognitive aids such as checklists can enhance communication and promote these non-technical skills. In this review, we describe the importance of non-technical skills in preventing patient harm and provide an overview of team training programs and checklists as methods to enhance patient safety.
