Free Simulation Program: Educating Teams for Success During COVID-19

Simulation-Based Education for Alternate Models of Care

Ontario hospital teams are invited to participate in a virtual simulation program designed to help you communicate effectively within a team-based model.

How it Works

Teams will participate in a 90-minute, live and interactive simulation that explores commonly encountered high-stress situations. Throughout the session, team members will engage in critical decision making and discussion.

Objectives and Learning Outcomes

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Demonstrate effective briefing and communication of role clarity
• Recognize a change in patient condition that is beyond the care provider’s scope of practice and competencies
• Identify the need to escalate care
• Demonstrate effective communication of a change in patient’s condition
• Collaborate with Team Leader and interprofessional team members within a team-based model to provide safe patient care and intervene during a change in patient’s status
• Demonstrate effective team debriefing within alternate models of team-based care
• Discuss opportunities to enhance team collaboration within alternate models of team-based care

Eligibility

Ontario hospital teams that are using or embedding team-based models to care for critically ill patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of participants per team is flexible. Please contact us for details.
