Electronic Health Records in Simulation Education: Literature Review and Synthesis.

During the last decade, the use of electronic health records (EHRs) in clinical settings has risen sharply. Many clinical education programs have not incorporated the use of electronic documentation into their curriculum. It is important to incorporate technologies that will be used in real-world settings into educational clinical simulations to better prepare students for clinical practice and promote patient safety.

Simulation Faculty Development: A Tiered Approach.

Simulation faculty development has become a high priority for the past couple of years because simulation programs have rapidly expanded in health systems and universities worldwide. A formalized, structured model for developing quality facilitators of simulation is helpful to support and sustain this continued growth in the field of simulation. In this article, we present a tiered faculty development plan that has been implemented at a university in the United States and includes the essentials of faculty development.

Interprofessional simulation training improves knowledge and teamwork in nursing and medical students during internal medicine clerkship.

Simulation is effective at improving healthcare students' knowledge and communication. Despite increasingly interprofessional approaches to medicine, most studies demonstrate these effects in isolation. We enhanced an existing internal medicine curriculum with immersive interprofessional simulations.

A history of simulation-enhanced interprofessional education.

This article explores the evolution and history of interprofessional education (IPE) using healthcare simulation (HCS). The evolution described here demonstrates an achievement of patient safety efforts as a consequence of the historical roots of healthcare and highlights HCS as a progressive method synergistic with IPE. This paper presents a descriptive review that covers the HCS and IPE literature, indicating factors that led to the use of HCS in IPE.

Capnography enhances surveillance of respiratory events during procedural sedation: a meta-analysis.

Study Objective: To determine if capnography, in addition to standard monitoring, identified more respiratory complications than standard monitoring alone.

Design: Meta-analysis.

Setting: University medical center.
