A simple low-cost method to integrate telehealth interprofessional team members during in situ simulation.
This article describes the integration of remote telehealth electronic intensive care unit (eICU) personnel into in situ simulations with rural emergency department (ED) care teams and the technical challenges of creating shared awareness of the patient's condition and the care team's progress among the care team, the eICU, and those running the simulation. The purpose of the simulations was to introduce telehealth technology and new processes of engaging the eICU via telehealth during sepsis care in rural EDs; development of the scenarios included experts in sepsis, telehealth, and emergency medicine. A shared in situ simulation clinical actions observational checklist was created using an off-the-shelf survey software program. The checklist was completed during the simulations by an onsite observer, and shared with the eICU team via teleconferencing software to and cue eICU nurse engagement. Staff from the two EDs were engaged and an eICU nurse participated in debriefing via the telehealth video system.
