Team Training in Obstetrics: Improving Care by Learning to Work Together

A research abstract presenting the CRICO and Center for Medical Simulation (CMS) educational program focused on inter-professional educators to prepare them to lead training programs was selected as 2nd place award winner and will be presented at the 15th Annual International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare, January 10th–14th, 2015.

Study results show that I-PASS—an original system of bundled communication and training tools for handoff of patient care between providers—can greatly increase patient safety without significantly burdening existing clinical workflows.

This retrospective observational analysis used CRICO's Comparative Benchmarking Systems (now Candello) data to determine the risks and outcomes of malpractice claims against hospitalists in internal medicine.
