LeaderSIM: Using Simulation to Enhance Interprofessional Communication
The overall goal of the initiative was to determine if low-fidelity simulation; specifically the use of standardized patients/persons, was an effective method of improving learning & confidence with patient and leadership rounding in the clinical setting. This project involved training with Low-Fidelity Simulation (using Standardized Patients/Persons: SPP) to increase confidence and skill among healthcare providers (nurses, physicians, trainees) in conducting patient and leadership (staff rounding) scenarios. The majority (70%) of untoward events involve miscommunication among team members. Effective communication/teamwork is fundamental to quality patient care.
