Protocol: simulation training to improve 9-1-1 dispatcher identification of cardiac arrest.
The researchers aim to evaluate the use of phone-based standardized patient simulation training to improve identification of the need for Telephone-CPR (T-CPR) and shorten time to start of T-CPR instructions. They specify that the STAT-911 study will evaluate if over-the-phone simulation training with standardized patients can improve 9-1-1 dispatchers' ability identify the need for, and promptly begin T-CPR.

System-based interprofessional simulation-based training program increases awareness and use of rapid response teams.
The objective of this study was to develop and implement an interprofessional simulation-based training program for rapid response and cardiac arrest emergencies with emphasis on early recognition and effective communication. The researchers concluded that their study demonstrated that rapid response team underuse due to system barriers may be overcome by this type of program targeting specific needs of the institution.
