Do It Together: Interdisciplinary Simulation to Practice Simplified Processes and Improve Team Communication

One community hospital implemented a process improvement strategy to improve quality of care and patient safety. “Triple Play” is a strategy that focuses and simplifies processes and policies, employs a collegial communication bundle to improve team communication and uses Interdisciplinary Simulation to educate and reinforce concepts. This process improvement strategy can be used after a root cause analysis of an actual adverse event or preemptively to prepare providers for high risk, low incidence events.
