ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To use high-fidelity human patient simulation to enhance teamwork and communication during maternity care emergencies.DESIGN:
Quality improvement initiative. SETTING/LOCALPROBLEM:
The labor and delivery team at a large suburban Level 2 facility in the Midwestern United States sought to apply evidence and use simulation to improve communication and teamwork.PARTICIPANTS:
Approximately 170 maternity care staff members, including nurses, anesthesia providers, and pediatric and obstetric physicians. INTERVENTION/MEASUREMENTS During each simulation, there were two scenarios with a debriefing session at the end of each. Teamwork and communication were evaluated using participant surveys.RESULTS:
Participants reported improved communication (p = .031) and teamwork (p = .041) after simulation. Additionally, 81% of respondents believed that their ability to perform clinical skills improved.CONCLUSION:
Use of high-fidelity human patient simulation was associated with improved teamwork and communication for a maternity care team. Simulation has been incorporated into standard education. We hope to sustain successful outcomes by providing ongoing simulation experiences for labor and delivery staff annually.Palabras clave
