Responding to the Unexpected: Tag Team Patient Safety Simulation

Implications of the COVID-19 pandemic: Virtual nursing education for delirium care

“…There is a growing body of research demonstrating the effectiveness of VS in nursing education ( Bruce et al, 2019 ; Cant & Cooper, 2019 ; Hardenberg et al, 2019 ; Tyler et al, 2019 ). Use of simulation as an effective teaching tool for assessment and management of delirium also has empirical evidence ( Dwyer et al, 2019 ; Hirota, 2020 ; Lieow et al, 2019 ). Assessment of quality of VS, as well as online courses, is available through Quality Matters (QM™), a process used to evaluate online course objectives, content accessibility, and use of best practices in online education ( Huun, 2018 ; Quality Matters, 2021 ).…”

“…These educators have since obtained a grant from the United States Department of Education and support quality standards for online education throughout the country (Quality Matters™ 2021). Nursing educators require ongoing continuing education and institutional support to assure consistent quality and effectiveness of technology and simulation in nursing education ( Bruce et al, 2019 ; Cant & Cooper, 2019 ; Dwyer et al, 2019 ; Hardenberg et al, 2019 ; Huun, 2018 ; Lieow et al, 2019 ).…”

Designing Tag Team Patient Safety Simulation: An instructional design approach

“…This paper does not discuss the TTPSS methodology. This is discussed in Guinea et al (2018) and Reid-Searl et al (2019) .…”

“…Tag Team Patient Safety Simulation (TTPSS) is a pragmatic, group-based simulation methodology that enhances the development of skills and knowledge, fosters critical conversations about patient safety, and has the potential to enhance student nurses' resilience and capacity to speak up for safe patient care ( Guinea, et al, 2018 ). Student nurses report TTPSS overcomes some of the discomfort of being observed in healthcare simulation, enhances learning in the observer role by providing structure and focus, and helps students develop a repertoire of practice skills by learning to respond to the unexpected ( Dwyer, et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Constructing MCQs based on cue cards reflecting scenario criteria and learning outcomes provides a means of ensuring constructive alignment. In terms of the evaluation of the TTPSS experience, this can be achieved by using the Satisfaction with Patient Safety Simulation Experience Scale ( Dwyer et al, 2019 ).…”
