Hospital at Home: Development of New Care Model for Medical Simulation About: This CE webinar will host an interprofessional panel who will discuss their collaborative effort to use medical simulation to validate workflows and identify latent safety threats before implementing a new Hospital at Home program that provides acute hospital care in a patient’s home. The interdisciplinary panel of speakers will discuss their experience of using system-focused simulation to test the quality and safety of a new and complex clinical care model, Hospital at Home, in the pre-implementation phase. Hospital at Home is an innovative care model providing hospital-level care in the patient’s home, which allows eligible patients to receive acute care and recover in the comfort of their homes. It entails many of the same care processes occurring in the brick and mortal hospital, including clinician visits, vital signs, lab and diagnostic studies, medications, auxiliary therapies, and meals. In essence, this entailed developing a new hospital system outside the hospital, inclusive of the workflows, communication patterns, information technology infrastructure and care processes. A large interdisciplinary effort was undertaken to delineate the processes and best workflows from entry into the program through discharge. Kaizen events, steering committee meetings, and patient-centered focus groups drove the creation of the standard work. Upon creation of the standard work, several tabletop simulations were conducted to confirm the appropriate processes and personnel, and identify potential system stress-points. This was then followed by “Day in The Life” (DiTL) simulations that included realistic scenarios with simulated patients and were designed to (1) validate and test – equipment, communication, procedures, and workflows and (2) discover – latent safety threats, resolutions to issues, opportunities to optimize quality of care and patient safety. Simulations encompassed the Hospital at Home process by beginning with patient eligibility and consent, the hospital stay, transitioning to home, care at home as a Hospital at Home patient and lastly discharge. Each simulation had participants in-person and via Zoom with members from the full interprofessional team (e.g., nursing, physicians, pharmacists, social workers, home nursing) and the hospital system team (e.g., IT, supply chain, pharmacy, operational excellence, simulation). Throughout the phases of the Hospital at Home program, the teams participated in focused interval debriefs centered on the SEIPS 2.0 (Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety) human factors framework. The debriefs culminated in approximately 120 opportunities for improvement that were then triaged by criticality and importance to be addressed longitudinally. Following the simulated sessions, the clinical team was equipped with valuable insights that significantly improved readiness to enroll the first patient in the Hospital at Home program. The team analyzed the outcomes, feedback, and learning points from the simulations and promptly integrated them into protocols and procedures. This involved refining the patient enrollment approach, fine-tuning equipment use, honing emergency response protocols, and enhancing interpersonal communication strategies to ensure a patient-centric approach. By learning from the simulated experiences, the team created a more robust and effective system, significantly reducing the potential for errors or mishaps. As a result, the team members were more confident in their ability to provide acute hospital-level care at home and better prepared to meet the unique needs and preferences of the first patient in the program. This iterative learning process ultimately elevated the standard of care provided, optimizing the patient experience from the get-go. Characterize the integration of simulation into a multidisciplinary effort for the development of a new clinical care model. Describe the collaborative use of simulation and operational excellence programs in the pre-implementation testing of the new Hospital at Home program. Demonstrate the impact of using the collective approaches of systems-focused simulation and operational excellence on process design and improvement, patient safety, and care delivery for new clinical models

Successful Integration of Virtual Reality into Healthcare Facilities Competency training, assessment and demonstration are required components in ensuring continuous quality nursing care in healthcare facilities. Healthcare Simulation has long been the standard for the demonstration of learned skills and algorithm application. Traditionally, this has included high- and low- fidelity manikin learning labs and standardized patient scenario exercises. The expense and time requirements of these methods can be a barrier to usage, so many facilities are beginning to use virtual reality as a training modality for competency training and assessment. Virtual reality (and other mixed reality modalities) requires the use of a headset and hand interface tools (in most cases controllers). The use of headsets may not be intuitive for some non-digital populations of learners and there may be some resistance to using these. This resistance can be tempered or even avoided by pre-emptive planning. This CE webinar will discuss methods to successfully introduce VR to a non-digital population of nurses in a healthcare facility. Women make up approximately 80% of all healthcare workers, and the average age of RNs is 46 years old. Both demographics are underrepresented in identified virtual reality user statistics, where only 16% of women had ever tried virtual reality and 50% of surveyed women stated that they had no interest in the technology. Age-wise, only 18% of regular VR users were over 45 and over 70% of these were male. Additionally, studies show that women are more likely to experience (and anticipate!) virtual reality sickness This can present a challenge for nurse educators introducing this technology as a staff competency training and assessment tool. Pre-emptive assessment and training can mitigate or prevent a reluctance or refusal to use VR. This presentation discusses pre-training staff assessment, training communication techniques, orientation and room preparation, comfort measures and methods to measure competency when in-headset training is not achievable. A lack of preparation and messaging can result in staff refusing to use the headsets and potentially shuttering the platform. Virtual reality has many benefits for nursing competency training and assessment for healthcare facilities when introduced with thought and careful consideration. Identify characteristics of nursing staff in regards to VR technology and usage. Institute proactive measures to promote successful usage of VR in the nurse population. Develop alternative methods of competency assessment using the VR platform outside of the headset.
