Abstract

The aim of this Doctor of Nursing Practice Project was to implement emergency obstetric simulation to defend against patient safety risk linked to healthcare professional team dynamics in the care of obstetric patients as recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), The Joint Commission (TJC) and the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Initiative (QSEN). Team training is evidenced to reduce the mismanagement of emergency obstetric events by coaching providers in delivery of safe, effective and coordinated care during crises. The setting for this project was a hospital specializing in care of women and newborns. Hospitals, as the employers of healthcare professionals, have been uniquely positioned to be a training site for the multidisciplinary team.
