Interprofessional communication is pivotal for patient safety. Nurses continuously assess patients and then transfer important facts to key team members. Newly hired nurses especially, feel stressed during team reports. Many report being overwhelmed by a lack of team communication skills when building their practice competencies (AACN, 2016; IOM, 2011).
Interprofessional simulation education (SIM-IPE) is an effective teaching strategy that promotes learners’ familiarity with the complex roles of the healthcare team while in a safe, realistic setting. SIM-IPE also gives learners practice in adapting to stress while developing teamwork attitudes and communication skills.
