Recommendations:
-conduct team training in perinatal areas to teach staff to work together and communicate more effectively
-for high-risk events, shoulder dystocia, emergency C-section, maternal hemorrhage and neonatal resuscitation, conduct clinical drills to prepare staff for when such events actually occur and conduct debriefing to evaluate team performance and identify area of improvement

How many of you feel that your simulation center and capabilities are well known and integrated into the educational system of your parent organization or affiliated hospital systems?
How many of you are integrated into all your undergraduate and graduate training programs?

First MeetingPerinatal Plan and Design
September 13, 2009 first meeting with leadership from ABSMC. “Design a course to train our entire staff for
L&D,Neonatal emergencies.”
Lack of definition and clarity between the two parties regarding goals, allowed us both to develop completely different concepts.
HEALTH SCIENCES SIMULATION CENTER
Perinatal Project
November 25,2009 second meeting
Plan a Pilot program for introduction of sim to members of the L&D,NICU. Team training with nursing, ob, anesthesia.
Three 4-hour sessions of In-Situ sims at ABSMC. Three Scenarios.
After building departmental buy-in to sim, design a training plan for all members of L&D,NICU,OB, and anesthesia trained at HSSC over 10 months. 170 RNs.
HEALTH SCIENCES SIMULATION CENTER
What they said:12/2/09
“The goal would be to train all the FT RNs and many of the PT RNs. (176)
“Each 4 hour training period would train 2 teams of 3RNs / 2MDs in 3 scenarios, scheduled as two 4-hr sessions per day, twice a month for 8 months.” (3rn+2md) x 2/d x 2/mo x 8mo=
This would be 96 RNs and 64 MDs!!
13 member Team training 1 or 2 days
In-Situ training assistance 8hours x 6 days training a total of 12 RNs in three months.
HEALTH SCIENCES SIMULATION CENTER
WHAT I HEARDDecember 18,2009
“I am hearing this to mean that we will use two simulation suites here at our center,
running two sessions per day,
of four hours duration,
performing three scenarios for five learners;
3RNs/2MDs.
20 learners/day x 2d/month x 8 months= 320!
With 192 RNs and 128 MDs.”

HEALTH SCIENCES SIMULATION CENTER
Learning Objectives are Key
ABSMC had 3 Distinct Primary Learning Objectives
1. Learning objectives of Core Team
2. Learning objectives of Trainers in Training
3. Learning objectives for In-Situ learners
HEALTH SCIENCES SIMULATION CENTER
1.Core team objectives
HEALTH SCIENCES SIMULATION CENTER
Phase ITwo Teams Emerge
Different Objectives Labor and Delivery Team

HEALTH SCIENCES SIMULATION CENTER
2.Trainers in Training objectives
HEALTH SCIENCES SIMULATION CENTER
3.In-Situ Objectives
.1. State the major components of maternal-child emergency response protocols according to the Alta Bates obstetrical and neonatal guidelines.
2. Endorse the standardized obstetrical and neonatal emergency response protocols for Alta Bates, based on debriefing responses and post-session evaluations
3. Demonstrate the ability to perform assigned roles in a coordinate response to per/neo-natal emergencies according to AB obstetrical and neonatal guidelines.
4. Execute the essential skill sets required to complete the roles and functions of the assigned role, according to AB specific practices.
5. Employ/Demonstrate best practices skills of team communication, indicated by adherence to AB defined definitions of SBAR, briefings, and call-backs
6. Engage in self-reflective learning and practices, as indicated on post-session evaluations and feedback from debriefers.

DebriefingMake it Comfortable
On the day of In-Situ dress rehearsal no conference space was available so the team debriefed in the nurse managers office.
Debriefing space was not close-by.
Audio/Video limited Small Spaces Too hot Learned for next time!! Better to move downstairs to
conference room with space and A/V.
HEALTH SCIENCES SIMULATION CENTER
Debrief the Rehearsal
Members of the entire team review issues of realism, sequencing, moulage, dialogue, and fulfilling of roles.
Note taking scribs all debriefing elements for summative emails and discussions in follow-up.

Lessons Learned
Do the hard work up front.
Define the Goals and work backward from there to the beginning.
Engage all members of the team.
Share the responsibilities among RNs and MDs to gain both perspectives
Identify a small group of Core champions.
Evaluation Tools for Teams.
Work closely with RN union.
Be methodical and realistic.
Schedule and Plan and then do it again.
Keep good debriefing notes of all meetings and rehearsals.
Don’t use more fidelity than you need.
Confirm your space and availability.
Use the learning objectives to guide debriefings.
HEALTH SCIENCES SIMULATION CENTER
Next Steps
Twice monthly In-Situ training with HSSC faculty assist. Then independently.
Select Simulation equipment needs
Incorporate more of the scenarios
Develop didactics and educate staff.
Distribute Team in Training members to use fewer per session.

CRICO and RMF
CRICO: The Controlled Risk Insurance Company
RMF: Risk Management Foundation
Both of Harvard Medical Institutions, promoted sim-based team training as a risk control strategy for OB providers. Patterned after the successful Anesthesia program.
Simulation in Healthcare: vol.3,No 2, 2008. Gardner R, Raemer D, et al.
HEALTH SCIENCES SIMULATION CENTER
CRICO
The course was designed around Closed Claim ob cases of Harvard affiliated Perinatal units as the basis for simulated cases involving teamwork and communication.
In 1 year follow up surveys, 87% said they had experienced a critical clinical event since the course and that various aspects of their teamwork had significantly or somewhat improved as a result of the course. 89% said the CRM principles were useful and 59% recommended repeating q 2yrs.
HEALTH SCIENCES SIMULATION CENTER
CRICO
The course is now a central component of CRICO/RMF’s obstetric risk management incentive program that provides a 10% reduction in annual malpractice premiums. Approximately $6000/per physician.
Too early to know if it has changed claims. However, the same program for anesthesia was so successful that premium incentives were raised in 2007 to 19% for participants.

Complete the Perinatal Bundle of Courses (Advanced Fetal Assessment and Monitoring, Managing Shoulder Dystocia, Operative Vaginal Delivery, and SBAR+R: Structuring Communication in Healthcare) offered online through Advanced Practice Strategies (APS). Access to these courses is available to you through our online member login at www.thedoctors.com.
Develop written protocol for communication (SBAR+R or similar) between you and the labor and delivery nurses to be utilized in the event that any of the following situations occur:
Nonreassuring fetal heart rates using the guidelines as outlined in the APS Advanced Fetal Assessment and Monitoring course and any other change in the fetal tracing that you feel is reportable
Elevated systolic BP of >140 mm Hg or diastolic BP of >90 mm Hg Vaginal bleeding Meconium Suspected abnormal presentation Elevated maternal temperature >100.4 or per
hospital protocol Other criteria occur that you have identified (e.g., rise in fetal heart rate baseline of greater than 10 bpm,
more than five variable decelerations in X minutes, etc.)
Post the communication protocol in L&D, and implement it in coordination with nursing leadership.
