Combined team training.
For professions that operate in dynarnic environments, developing and improving team performance is a significant issue. Paramedics often utilize advanced, high-risk, low-frequency clinical procedures such as endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence induction, needle chest decompression and surgical airways. These procedures are performed in a team environment alongside EMTs and first responders. Though these groups (paramedics and EMTs/first responders) operate together on scenes, if they come from different organizations, they may rarely train together. By combining the training they receive, each of these groups can improve their cybernation, or the high degree of preparedness and skill achieved when a team performs its individual and collective tasks not only correctly, but also with the rapid and smooth automaticity that's the hallmark of high-performance teams.
