Purpose
For the development and rollout of an intensive patient safety intervention incorporating frequent, unit-based simulation team training on four medical-surgical units at Stanford Hospital & Clinics. This program will lead to three outcomes: reduction in the incidence rate of at least one hospital-acquired complication per unit, reduction in the rate of unplanned transfers of non-Do Not Resuscitate (non-DNR) patients to a higher level of care, and reduction in the risk-adjusted mortality rate of non-DNR patients.
