Abstract

An interprofessional education (IPE) event was held among students in three disciplines from USI's College of Nursing and Health Professions integrating Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) in a simulated cardiopulmonary arrest scenario. Faculty from Nursing, Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA), and Respiratory Therapy (RT) planned the IPE which included the date, time, equipment, scenario, pre- and post-briefing. The event was designed to reinforce experiential learning utilizing TeamSTEPPS education as the guiding framework. TeamSTEPPS education promotes collaboration using effective communication, leadership skills, situation monitoring, and mutual support during a simulated patient event to better prepare students to practice safely as they enter the workforce.
