RESUMO
BACKGROUND: This article reports the results of a study that investigated the influence of an integrated patient centered care coordination (PCCC) clinical curricular module on nursing student learning outcomes. Baccalaureate nursing education must increase its emphasis on the professional nursing role of care coordination to meet changing health care needs, including the ability to practice in community and ambulatory care settings. Little research has been conducted to examine the effect of curricular change for teaching care coordination on student learning outcomes. METHOD: This study used a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design at a university school of nursing, collecting data with a pre-postsurvey, a skills performance instrument, and focus groups. RESULTS: The PCCC curricular module significantly and positively affected student learning outcomes, as evidenced by the pre-postsurvey and focus group results. CONCLUSION: Intentional curricular change can make a significant impact on students' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to PCCC. [J Nurs Educ. 2017;56(1):6-11.].

This pilot study demonstrated the potential for virtual simulation in nursing education regarding chronic care management in community settings. Observations of faculty characteristics associated with the ability to effectively facilitate simulation experiences and debriefing sessions were consistent with prior studies.
