Impact of a one-day inter-professional course (ALERT™) on attitudes and confidence in managing critically ill adult patients

A Systematic Review of Teamwork Training Interventions in Medical Student and Resident Education

“…[28][29][30][32][33][34][35][36][37]40 All curricula employed some active learning methods, defined as methods that required active involvement of learners. These included "critical incident" simulations such as respiratory arrest or traumas (4, 31%), 29,31,34,37 role play (23%), 28,31,36 case-based scenarios/discussion (6, 46%), 28,32,33,[35][36][37] and actual patient encounters (3, 23%). 30,32,40 No curriculum described using standardized patients in teamwork training.…”

“…29,30,32,35,39 The time of the evaluation follow-up varied from immediately postintervention to 2 years, with 10 studies reporting only short-term (<30 * Eight teamwork principles: (a) the curriculum included leadership training or evaluated leadership skills; (b) team members monitor one another's performance and provide feedback (mutual performance monitoring); (c) the curriculum addressed redistributing tasks upon demand by anticipating team member's needs through accurate knowledge of their responsibilities (backup behavior); (d) the curriculum addressed the ability to adapt to changing situations; (e) the curriculum addressed soliciting team member ideas in defining goals and objectives (team orientation); (f) the curriculum addressed fostering trust between team members; (g) the curriculum included communication training or evaluated communication skills; (h) the curriculum addressed ensuring that team members are "on the same page" (shared mental models). ‡ CRM refers to crew/crisis resource management.…”

Resuscitation Team Organization for Emergency Departments: A Conceptual Review and Discussion

“…With the code team, processes and procedures that are organized, disciplined and controlled are generally less stressful to the participants [60,[64][65][66]. The resuscitation team leader sets the tone for the team and prevents unnecessary stress levels [49].…”

An Interprofessional Course Using Human Patient Simulation to Teach Patient Safety and Teamwork Skills

“…[18][19][20] Students also completed a 10 item pre-and post-simulation team building and interprofessional communications survey tool adapted from existing literature. 8 Finally, students completed a general course evaluation.…”

“…4 Simulation training has improved students' technical and clinical skills. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However, there is little focus on teaching patient safety concepts to the novice learner. This paper describes the development and initial experiences of human patient simulation to promote interprofessional teamwork and collaboration while providing novice learners an opportunity to recognize and react to select Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals.…”
