Abstract
This paper focuses on observing and rating teamwork skills of each individual member of the team. With training of teamwork skills becoming a central aspect of many medical, nursing and surgical training curriculums all over the world, developing reliable and validated observation scales to assess non-technical skills at the individual level is essential. This paper focuses on the process of developing workable tools, and guidance for researchers who are in the process of tool development. Particular emphasis will be placed on the development, evaluation and application of the NOTSS (Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons) system – an observation tool for assessing individual surgeons’ intraoperative behaviors.
