Abstract

NEED FOR INNOVATIONApproximately 30 million children visit emergency departments (EDs) yearly.1 General EDs see both adults and children, and 95% of all pediatric ED visits occur in general EDs.2 Most children who seek emergency care (69.4%) are treated in general EDs that see <15 pediatric patients each day.1 Thus caring for critically ill children is an infrequent and high‐risk event requiring complex systems including access to pediatric‐specific equipment, understanding pediatric‐specific dosing and treatment algorithms, and excellent teamwork skills.1 Innovative strategies to provide health care professionals with opportunities to practice pediatric resuscitation, teamwork, and communication at general EDs are needed.BACKGROUNDTraditional simulation training programs rely on community health care professionals to attend simulation instructor courses held at an academic medical center,3 which may incur cost or travel. In situ simulations (ISSs) are simulations that take place in the physical space where clinical care is provided. ISS has been shown to be an accessible strategy to improve teamwork skills, practice problem solving, and identify latent safety threats.4–6 One model of ISS is community‐based ISS that relies on academic simulation faculty to conduct simulations in the clinical environment of general EDs.3,7 In this model, health care professionals are removed from clinical responsibilities to
