ACTION PLAN

Simulation Coordinator and NUR 270 Course Coordinator met to discuss format of Capstone

Simulation based competency blueprint mutually agreed upon

Previous competency was inherited as a skill based demonstration lab.

Objectives formulated Faculty training session -Dry Run

CAPSTONE COURSE DEVELOPMENT

 After the 2012 Symposium in Charleston, we changed the skills based competency to a simulation focusing on leadership, resource allocation, delegation, critical thinking, communication and prioritization.

Consultation with the GHS Simulation Center resulted in the current simulation involving 5 students and 7 faculty. 

The current simulation allows us to facilitate 40 students in 4.5 hours with 7 facilitators.

CHALLENGES

Consistent faculty Time management – have

increased the time from a 20 minute stagger to 30 minute stagger starts

Effective communication/scheduling  between multiple staff, multiple entities, students etc.

Organization and consistency in a purposefully chaotic environment.

FACULTY

Faculty hours- 0.80 faculty hours per student during simulation with 40 students.

This does not include prep time on the part of the simulation center or course leadership.

OBJECTIVES

Student recognizes patient needs and prioritizes patient care

Student performs initial and focused assessment

Student communicates effectively Student provides a safe environment Student delegates appropriately Student demonstrates appropriate

leadership skills

When can the objectives be met?

PATIENT SELECTION PROCESS

4 Different Patients selected for student assignment

Post Partum Hemorrhage, COPD- Rapid Response, DKA ready for discharge, Pediatric Head Injury

All patients had a safety error to correct; critical decisions to make; communication to Charge Nurse/MD; and reassessment of the patient’s changing condition.

QUAD ROOM

Student name_________________ Time_______________ May 22 2013 RAPID RESPONSE- Check List

ISBARR - Identify, Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation, Read back

RAPID RESPONSE INITIAL ASSESSMENT- total time frame not to exceed 9 minutes 1 Enter room to check patient 2 Did not perform IWIPE

Identify self Wash hands Identify patient Provide privacy Explain procedure

3 Did not check patient chart 4 Did not perform initial assessment

Checks VS –normal VS Pulse RR O2Sat B/P

5 Did not complete a focused Neuro Assessment Did not complete a focused Cardiac Assessment Did not complete a focused Respiratory Assessment

NURSING INTERVENTIONS- total time to decide to call Rapid Response 5 minutes 8 Did not rechecks vital signs – BP is low must recognize and please show rhythm SVT 180 narrow QRS

at 9 min mark Pulse RR O2Sat Did not reassess B/P

Did not reassess Heart sounds Did not reassess Breath sounds

9 Pulse OX- change in O2 SAT down to 80% at 10 minute mark RR increased to 25 10 Increases Oxygen to patient via NC 11 Change in neuro status- pt states I don’t feel good

Did not reassess neuro status IV for KVO 12 Did not recognize need for Rapid Response Team 13 Did not communicate with Charge Nurse 14 Did not utilize ISBARR format (for MD or Rapid Response Team ) 15 Did not communicate effectively with the patient SAFETY VIOLATIONS

Intervention/therapy in place that was not ordered Patient left alone during critical period Bed left in high position/unlocked Inappropriate use of side rails Patient not identified properly Personal protective equipment Failure to recognize

FACULTY

DEBRIEFING Debriefing Room -

students receive a 2-3 minute individual debriefing from the faculty running their scenarios and are then sent into the debriefing room to talk about the scenario as a group.

IN THE FUTURE………..

Addition of Scenarios to interchange cases Continue to refine checklists Addition of a rubric to grade the

simulation Develop the preparatory assignment for

the students- Admission Ticket Addition of EHR documentation Utilization of individual rooms rather than

quad room Video evaluation of charge nurse
