Simulation Crisis Team Training Effect on Rural Hospital Safety Climate (SIMCRITTER)
Abstract
Simulation-based training is evolving new paradigms for medical education, critical skills development, teamwork, and patient safety in hospitals. High-fidelity human patient simulator (Manikin)-based training is utilized in hospital crisis team training (CTT), and other patient safety-related areas. Rural hospital safety environments differ from urban hospitals. The primary objective of the proposed study is to measure the impact of a manikin-based CTT curriculum on safety culture in a rural hospital emergency response team. The study utilizes standardized CTT and a widely utilized Safety Climate Survey (SCSu). It is hypothesized that CTT in a rural hospital will result an improved cohort safety climate. This research will inform the development of military specific training regimes for expanding simulation-based medical training capacity in the Military Health System. A research project was completed which followed the proposed plan and was approved by institutional review boards. Results confirm that the safety climate in the rural hospital improved during the interval during which crisis team training was introduced, and simulation based education and training became available for additional hospital based programs.
