- Non-technical skills (NTS) assessment tools are important for evaluating healthcare professionals, and this study focuses on comparing three specific tools used in the UK during simulated cardiac arrest scenarios.
- Researchers evaluated the internal consistency and interrater reliability of ANTS, Oxford NOTECHS, and OSCAR, finding significant variations in their performance and usability.
- The study highlights the need for standardized NTS tools and proper training for educators, advocating for multiple assessors during high-stakes evaluations to ensure reliable scoring.
Clinical emergencies can be defined as unpredictable events that necessitate immediate intervention. Safety critical industries have acknowledged the difficulties of responding to such crises. Strategies to improve human performance and mitigate its limitations include the provision and use of cognitive aids, a family of tools that includes algorithms, checklists and decision aids.
