"The Safety Dance": A Faculty Development Workshop Partnering IPE and Patient Safety Initiatives Using Simulation-Based Education.

ABSTRACT: Introduction:Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is important for improving patient outcomes and patient safety; however, interprofessional education (IPE) is required to develop skills necessary for successful IPC. IPE is resource intensive and requires advance planning and negotiation of logistical challenges. The goal of this faculty development workshop is to train administrators and educators from academic health care institutions to address potential challenges faced during design and implementation of IPE programs. Methods:This educational module presents best practices for implementing simulation-based IPE to enhance patient safety through an interactive workshop. We utilize hands-on practice with coaching through a facilitated small-group tabletop simulation followed by a large-group discussion driven by the case-based method to maximize learning and engage a diverse audience. The materials associated with the module include a workshop outline, a PowerPoint slide show, and a summary handout for the participants. To facilitate the tabletop simulation and the subsequent large-group discussion, we have included two versions of the small-group prompts, a worksheet for the participants to complete during the tabletop exercise, and a facilitator guide. Results:We have received positive feedback regarding the learning value of the module from faculty attendees at a regional simulation conference as well as the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare in January of 2016. Discussion:Implementing simulation-based IPE curricula to address patient safety initiatives comes with a unique set of challenges that require prior training and knowledge. We provide insight and evidence-based strategies in this module to help interested parties successfully implement their own programs.

Project description:Background:Simulation-based education (SBE) is increasingly endorsed as an educational strategy. It allows health-care professionals to practice clinical skills within a safe learning environment, and requires devices for simulation or simulated patients, trained teachers, and an appropriate environment. The objective of this study was to evaluate perceptions of participants on SBE and an SBE workshop. Methods:A 1-day SBE workshop was conducted on September 4, 2018, in collaboration with Laerdal Global Health Nepal and the National Centre for Health Professions Education (NCHPE), Institute of Medicine, Kathmandu, Nepal. Semistructured pretest and posttest questionnaires were used to evaluate the perceptions of participants regarding SBE and the effectiveness of the workshop. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21. Results:The mean difference in participant perceptions of SBE before and after participation in the workshop was significant (P<0.05) on seven statements: enhances communication skills (pretest 4.53±0.72, posttest 4.84±0.75; P=0.03), helps in seeing and managing even rarest of cases (pretest 3.59±1.00, posttest 4.21±0.92; P=0.02), overcomes the problem of uncooperative patients (pretest 3.12±0.93, posttest 3.95±1.22; P=0.004), increases confidence of students in dealing with real patients (pretest 4.29±0.77, posttest 4.79±0.42; P=0.041), enables preparation of rating scales for skills and attitude evaluation (pretest 3.76±0.83, posttest 4.11±0.76; P=0.049), provides immediate feedback during simulation (pretest 4.06±0.9, posttest 4.58±0.51; P=0.016), and keeps materials/equipment ready before simulation (pretest 4.29±0.68, posttest 4.79±0.53; P=0.007). Mean scores for participant feedback on the workshop using a Likert scale of 1-5 (5= strongly agree, 1= strongly disagree) were notable: objective of workshop fulfilled (4.16±0.688), session very interesting (4.37±0.597), session useful for future job (4.47±0.513), scenario relevant to subject (4.21±0.787), what I learnt will be useful in practice (4.05±0.78), resource persons/facilitators were helpful and effective (4.37±0.597), professional (4.42±0.507), and answered all questions (4.32±0.478), and course content was presented clearly (4.26±0.452). Almost all participants found the workshop useful and well presented, and suggested conducting such workshops frequently. Conclusion:The SBE workshop produced substantial differences in perceptions of participants. Participants found the workshop effective in improving knowledge and understanding of SBE.
