Background

Nursing programs are expected to graduate practice-ready nurses who demonstrate quality and safety in patient care which includes interdisciplinary communication” (Krautscheid, 2008, p.1).

“The nursing student must learn how to develop and present a cogent contextual clinical picture that supports his or her clinical assessment” (Benner, Tanner, & Chelsa, 2009).

Student Feedback

Students will complete a post simulation experience evaluation as per college policy.

Questions regarding student perceptions (positive and negative) of the streaming media communication exercise will be incorporated into the post simulation student feedback tool.

Streaming media: A Skill Building Exercise

Streaming media to:

Engage in a self-paced, asynchronous learning experience aimed at developing interprofessional communication skills.

Three clinical scenarios are presented utilizing human simulators, recorded and then digitized for internet streaming.

a nursing report is role-played to present background information. A simulated event then unfolds providing the necessary information to create and frame a patient status report.

Students use the SBAR method to organize clinical information based on each scenario. “Time-out” periods allow facilitators to pose questions and offer guidance for the learner.

Learning Outcomes

The student will be able to:

Effectively organize patient data using the SBAR method

Communicate information to provide an accurate clinical picture

Demonstrate confidence in the interprofessional communication process
