Recognizing opioid addiction and overdose: An interprofessional simulation for medical, nursing and pharmacy students

Journal of Interprofessional Education & Practice

Jane Gannon, et al.

2020-09-01

Health science students need to be prepared to recognize and treat opioid overdose. A high-fidelity opioid overdose simulation was created to assess use of team-based communication strategies and competence in behaviors of interprofessional health science students (medical, nursing and pharmacy). Measureable outcomes were 1) frequency and quality of team-based behaviors through video analysis and 2) care delays and patient harm experienced by the simulated patient through a checklist tool.
