    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Practice
    • Health Care Quality Improvement
    • Medical Simulation

    Background:

    • High quality healthcare relies on efficient processes and skilled providers.
    • Unnecessary referrals to specialized teams like the comprehensive vascular access team (CVAT) can impede workflow.
    • Improving staff nurse competency in procedures like ultrasound-guided catheter placement is key to optimizing care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simulation and competency assessment intervention.
    • To increase staff nurse proficiency in ultrasound-guided intravascular catheter placement within the emergency department.
    • To reduce inappropriate referrals to the CVAT.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a simulation-based training program.
    • Competency assessment for staff nurses performing ultrasound-guided intravascular catheterizations.
    • Tracking referral rates to the CVAT before and after the intervention.

    Main Results:

    • A 21% reduction in inappropriate referrals to the CVAT was observed.
    • The intervention was completed in approximately 6 weeks.
    • Improved staff nurse proficiency in a critical procedural skill.

    Conclusions:

    • Simulation and competency assessment effectively enhance nurse skills.
    • This intervention successfully reduced unnecessary referrals, improving healthcare efficiency.
    • Translating research into practice via competency development leads to better patient outcomes and workflow.
