Abstract:
Simulation with interprofessional teams provides case management opportunities for advanced practice RN students they may not encounter in preceptorships. We designed standardized patient simulations to improve health care safety and outcomes; an academic electronic health record was used in some simulations. We report quality improvement findings from 74 APRN students who completed a survey with open-ended questions. We found that simulation in interprofessional teams positively impacted role immersion, confidence, problem-solving skills, and teamwork. Use of the academic electronic health record added realism. The findings are being incorporated as part of continuous quality improvement in the teaching-learning process.
