Wright MC, Segall N, Hobbs G, Phillips-Bute B, Maynard L, Taekman JM. Standardized Assessment for Evaluation of Team Skills: Validity and Feasibility, Simulation in Healthcare. (accepted for publication March 5, 2013). We developed a Standardized Assessment for Evaluation of Team Skills (SAFE-TeamS) in which actors portray health care team members in simulated challenging teamwork scenarios. This research sought to provide evidence of the validity and feasibility of SAFE-TeamS as a tool to support the advancement of science related to team skills training. Thirty-eight medical and nursing students were assessed using SAFE-TeamS before and after team skills training. SAFE-TeamS scores reflected improvement following training and were sensitive to individual differences. SAFE-TeamS was sensitive to individual differences and team skill training, providing evidence for validity. SAFE-TeamS provides a method to measure INDIVIDUAL team skills (rather than groups of providers).

Corvetto MA, Taekman JM. To Die or Not To Die? A Review of Simulated Death. Simul Healthc 2012. There is considerable controversy over whether to allow a simulator to die during a session when death is not a predefined learning objective. In this narrative review, we survey the literature on simulated death during health care training, present arguments for and against the broad incorporation of such training in curricula for health care providers, and outline recommendations for using death scenarios in health care simulation.

Departures from the protocol during conduct of a clinical trial: a pattern from the data record consistent with a learning curve. Qual Saf Health Care. Oct 2010;19(5):405-410.The VALsartan In Acute myocardial iNfarcTion, a large multinational, pragmatic, randomized, double-blind, multi-center trial, was retrospectively evaluated for evidence of research conduct consistent with a performance “learning curve.” 12 367 patients at 931 sites were analyzed. Departures (protocol violations and deviations) were more common for patients enrolled earlier at a site (p<0.0001). A similar pattern existed for queries. We concluded that research performance improved during the VALsartan In Acute myocardial iNfarcTion consistent with a “learning curve.” Although effects were not related to a change in outcome (mortality), learning curves in clinical research may have important safety, ethical, research quality and economic implications for trial conduct.

Qual Saf Health Care. Apr 27 2010.doi: 10.1136/qshc.2008.031732. A randomized controlled trial of four pedagogical methods commonly used to deliver teamwork training and measured the effects of each method on the acquisition of student teamwork knowledge, skills, and attitudes.The authors recruited 203 senior nursing students and 235 fourth-year medical students (total N 438) from two major universities for a 1-day interdisciplinary teamwork training course. All participants received a didactic lecture and then were randomly assigned to one of four educational methods: didactic (control), audience response didactic, role play and human patient simulation. Student performance was assessed for teamwork attitudes, knowledge and skills .Each of the four modalities demonstrated significantly improved teamwork knowledge and attitudes, but no modality was demonstrated to be superior. No modality demonstrated a significant change in teamwork skill behavior. This was the largest study to date comparing four pedagogical methods of teamwork training, a critical component of modern healthcare curricula.
Wright MC, Phillips-Bute BG, Petrusa ER, Griffin KL, Hobbs GW, Taekman JM. Assessing teamwork in medical education and practice: relating behavioural teamwork ratings and clinical performance. Med Teach. Jan 2009;31(1):30-38. Our main objective was to test the hypothesis that observer ratings of team skill will correlate with objective measures of clinical performance. Nine teams of medical students were videotaped performing two types of teamwork tasks: (1) low fidelity classroom-based patient assessment and (2) high fidelity simulated emergent care. Team skills and clinical skills were rated. There was moderate to high correlation between observer ratings of team skill and checklist-based measures of team performance for the simulated emergent care cases. These results provide prospective evidence of a positive relationship between observer ratings of team skills and clinical team performance in a simulated dynamic health care task.

We hypothesized that time of day of surgery would influence the incidence of anesthetic adverse events (AEs). Clinical observations reported in a quality improvement database were categorized into different AEs that reflected (1) error, (2) harm, and (3) other AEs (error or harm could not be determined) and were analyzed for effects related to start hour of care. As expected, there were differences in the rate of AEs depending on start hour of care. Our results indicate that clinical outcomes may be different for patients anesthetized at the end of the work day compared with the beginning of the day. Although this may result from patient related factors, medical care delivery factors such as case load, fatigue, and care transitions may also be influencing the rate of anesthetic AEs for cases that start in the late afternoon.

We hypothesized the addition of an interactive simulation exercise to standard training methods would increase the confidence of study coordinators. Eighteen study coordinators completed pre- and post exercise confidence questionnaires.A significant increase in overall confidence was seen in the simulation group. We confirmed that addition of a simulation exercise to the training of study coordinators resulted in increased confidence in their abilities to carry out the trial. The first description of an area we are pioneering at Duke: the use of high-fidelity simulation to improve the design and implementation of clinical trials.

Over the last two decades, much of my work has focused on using technology to improve healthcare education and patient safety.
LE@D is a three-dimensional, collaborative world accessible from any Internet-connected computer that provides an innovative, interactive “front-end” to distance education in the health care professions. ILE@D maximizes face-to-face interactions between teachers and students through self-directed, team-based, and facilitator led preparatory activities in the virtual environment. While in the beginning phases of development, we have a grand vision for building a generic education framework which can support a variety of inter-professional healthcare training scenarios.
Every year, approximately 500,000 people in the United States experience an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Prompt reperfusion is essential to minimize morbidity and mortality. Most STEMI patients are initially brought to outlying hospitals and then, if appropriate, transferred to a hospital capable of performing angioplasty. A large percentage of STEMI-patient transfers take longer than the time recommended for optimal care. Timely transfers require precise teamwork and communication between EMS, Hospitals, and STEMI-care teams.
The Duke University Human Simulation and Patient Safety Center partnered with the American College of Cardiology (ACC) to deliver an in-situ simulation educational program throughout North Carolina focused on improving door-to-balloon time in STEMI care. The program, using in situ simulation, probed weaknesses in the STEMI-care chain and aimed to improve care by enhancing teamwork and communication.
This Virtual Experience is designed to educate and train users how to identify the signs and symptoms of a Stroke. During the course, students will perform a neurological assessment of the patient; through history and examination. A virtual Neuro Exam will be completed to gain an understanding of basic neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. They will be required to identify the functional areas impacted by neuroanatomy and recognize the location of neurological dysfunction. The student will also manage the patient, by developing a plan of care. Through this patient simulation, the users will gain valuable experience in diagnosing and treating a patient presenting stroke symptoms.
Patient transfers (handovers) from surgery to intensive care units (ICUs) are known to be fraught with communication and technical errors: barriers in care which multiple studies highlight a relationship between the quality of handovers and patient outcomes.
The Human Centered Design of Handovers/Virtual Handovers project aims to improve communication and decrease preventable adverse events related to OR to Neuro-ICU handovers. The project will achieve this through the development and use of a web-based, modular, multi-modal education platform which will include instructional videos and an interactive, immersive “virtual handover game.” As a modular platform, material can be added to address all types of handovers from shift-to-shift to more unit-specific processes.
The virtual handover game was developed using a human centered design: a methodology that incorporates feedback from users throughout the development process. This process allows users to shape the design product and enhance its usability, as well as allowing them to be closely involved in the refinement of their own handover process. As part of the HCD process, focus groups were conducted with key members in the neuro ICU and OR. Feedback from the focus groups were then analyzed via conventional content analysis and integrated into the educational program.
Feedback collected through the focus groups and analyzed via conventional content analysis will be integrated into a multimodal educational program including 3DiTeams (a virtual environment for learning and practice), on-site clinical observations and technology-mediated coaching. This educational program aims to improve handover quality and patient safety in critical care. The final product will be a modular program that can be expanded to address all types of handovers from shift-to-shift to more unit-specific processes (in this case OR to Neuro ICU).
After the launch of the education program, an educational research study will be conducted to evaluate the role of mentorship in the retention of teamwork behaviors.
The study aims to provide pilot data for the research hypothesis that mentoring will slow the decay of learned teamwork and communication behaviors to greater extent than self-study alone or no intervention.
Traditional approaches to training in education include classroom style delivery and workshops--known to be mostly ineffective. Virtual simulation is an alternative method of education to teach teamwork and communication skills and knowledge.
SimX leveraged our ILE@D Hemorrhage software and was introduced to staff and students at two health sites within South Australia Health and to Flinders University. The project was funded by Health Workforce Australia funded grant through the Simulated Learning Environments Program.
Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) is a 3D, multi-player, instructor-facilitated virtual simulation platform designed to train teams of clinicians in the medical management of postpartum hemorrhage as well as effective teamwork and communication behaviors.
Users may choose to participate in the exercise as physicians or nurses, the facilitator, or choose to be invisible as an observer. A user may even elect to be the voice of the patient.
PPH is set in a realistic virtual birthing suite where learners can freely move about and interact with the patient, equipment, supplies, and other items in the environment through an intuitive interface of on-screen buttons or item highlights. The game allows learners to perform medical procedures such as fundal massage as well as deliver routine and emergency medications and fluids.
An inter-professional team in the Human Simulation and Patient Safety Center (HSPSC) received a 1-year, $25,000 research award from the Social Entrepreneurship Accelerator at Duke (SEAD) for a project entitled “Postpartum Hemorrhage Education Via Simulation”.
The team is pioneering the use of scalable, distributable healthcare simulation using commercial game technology with a multi-player module that specifically addresses postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). As a proof-of-concept for global health, the PPH simulation software will be used to address gaps in care at Mulago International Referral Hospital in Kampala, Uganda, and to decrease disparities in healthcare education. We will host inter-professional, interactive, games-based simulation training sessions from Durham to Mulago using the Internet. This pilot program aims to reduce the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, and to serve as a broader model for using simulation to scale education and to spread virtual learning through the developing world in resource-poor settings. Additionally, we hope to use preliminary data to support a future proposal to study the efficacy of screen-based/games-based learning in global health. Key personnel include: Jeff Taekman (MD) who is the Principal Investigator, Megan Foureman (CRNA, MSN), Amy Mauritz (MD), Adeyemi Olufolabi (MB.BS; DCH; FRCA), Michael Steele (BS) and Genevieve DeMaria (BS).
Combat Medic is an exciting new virtual educational program designed to train Army medics and other military medical personnel to manage the top causes of death in the modern battlefield: hemorrhage, airway obstruction, and tension pneumothorax (2014). Designed as a procedural trainer, the game allows medics to cognitively apply, practice, and review Tactical Combat Care, patient management, and documentation in a contextually accurate combat scenario. Combat Medic also allows for the application of other important concepts such as equipment preparation, team organization, and communication through unique and intuitive user interfaces that preserve both contextual, cognitive, and task fidelity.
Learners can either practice independently as a single player or use its multi-player function for facilitator-led and team events. Opportunities to learn reflectively is made possible with virtual pre- and post-game meeting spaces and a robust debriefing platform replete with analysis of task performance and video playback. To maximize deployability and access, the game works from browser plug-ins that are compatible with any recently produced computer.
The Pre-Deployment Anesthesia and Anaphylaxis Training System (PDAATS) -- also known as ILE@D Sedation-is a serious game designed to teach and refresh the cognitive skills of rapid sequence intubation and moderate / deep sedation to non-anesthesia providers.
This single-player, first-person simulation enables clinicians to evaluate, sedate, and medically manage ten different patients each with a unique set of medical and contextual challenges. In each scenario, learners must identify and interpret relevant findings in the patient’s background and physical exam to determine primary and secondary sedation plans.
Each patient avatar is innervated by the HumanSim physiology engine which accurately and dynamically generates heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen saturation depending on the learner’s actions. Cognitive fidelity is further enhanced through an innovative interface that allows learners to select medications, medication dosages, and delivery.
Following the simulation, a robust after action review (AAR) that allows players to reflectively learn from their performance.
Effective team coordination is critical for the safe delivery of care. Development of these skills requires training and practice in an interactive team-based environment. A three-dimensional serious game environment provides an engaging and cost effective alternative to other interactive training solutions such as human patient simulation. In this project we are developing a three-dimensional interactive networked system for training of military health care team coordination skills. Although this is a development project with no formal experimental hypothesis, we will conduct qualitative evaluations of the design specification and alpha and beta versions of a demonstration prototype. Ease of use, practicality, scope, and effectiveness of the training system will be assessed through heuristic analysis by experts in team training.

Prior to the finalization of a complex protocol and/or during the start up of a study that has unique training needs, we will institute the use of the Duke Human Simulation and Patient Safety Center (HSPSC) for two distinct purposes; protocol “usability”/design, and immersive training of research personnel.
Researchers in the HSPSC have demonstrated phenomenon consistent with learning curves in the data record of several clinical trials1 and have described the benefits of applying simulation techniques in the development and start-up of clinical trials.2,3 There is emerging evidence that learning curves may negatively influence the outcome of large multicenter clinical trials4 and the frequency of adverse events.5 The HSPSC is pioneering the use of human factors methods and simulation to mitigate learning curves in clinical trials. The application of our methods provide long term benefits to patients, trainees, and sponsors, including protection of the sponsors investment in their drug or device, the reduction of research cost and most importantly, reducing the potential risks to real patients. Simulation (mannequin-based or actor-based) is typically used in two ways: 1) protocol walk-throughs and 2) research personnel training.
Walkthroughs are used to assess protocol design. Protocol developers observe their study performed by research personnel in a high-fidelity simulated clinical setting prior to subject enrollment. Viewing (and reviewing) walkthroughs of clinical protocols helps uncover issues with design, timing, complexity, and practicality. Potential protocol errors and inefficiencies are highlighted and can be corrected before the protocol is implemented, thereby minimizing subject exposure and the number of protocol amendments—ultimately impacting both safety and cost.
In addition, skill acquisition of the research personnel is a key factor in the safe and effective deployment of a clinical research protocol. Proper performance of a clinical trial depends on complex behaviors. Complex human behaviors demonstrate ‘learning curves’, where performance improves with repetition. Just like a sports team, proficiency is gained through practical experience. Interactive training in a simulated environment provides the opportunity for Investigators, coordinators, and monitors to ‘practice’ without placing subjects or data at risk. Following simulation training, research personnel are closer to optimal performance at the time subject enrollment begins.
Ultimately, we believe our methods improve the chances of a successful trial (through better design and enhanced research personnel performance) while minimizing cost, improving efficiency, and enhancing safety.
Two examples of protocols using the simulation training are:
A Phase II multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, dose-ranging, effect-controlled study to determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Sodium Nitroprusside in pediatric patients, sponsored by the NIH.
A Phase III, multicenter, randomized study of the safety and efficacy of Heparinase I versus Protamine in patients undergoing CABG with and without cardiopulmonary bypass/ sponsor by sponsored by an industry pharmaceutical company.

Mentorship and Collaboration
My historical domains of interest–healthcare education, technology and quality are not the prototypical bench science pursuits. Those with traditional academic careers (e.g. bench scientists) have a hard time understanding what it is I do. In fact, it has been difficult to find traditional academic mentors due to the uniqueness of my niche.
Time has reinforced the true importance of mentorship. I am forever thankful to the mentors I had thus far in my career-several took an interest in me even though they didn't fully understand my passion. It has been challenging given my interest in cutting / bleeding edge technologies to find mentors at the faculty level—there simply aren’t others that do what I do. Despite this, I have had a modicum of success despite this shortcoming by seeking strong mentors that although they do not understand my domain, do excel excel at mentoring.
It is my hope, by assembling an outstanding, passionate and productive team, we will help change the definition of a 'traditional' academic career.
More importantly, I’ve tried to pass the mentoring I've received forward—and have found I especially enjoy mentoring certain types of individuals—those that have intrinsic motivation andpassion for success—qualities Angela Duckworth (another positive psychology researcher) refers to as “Grit.” Gritty individuals, in my experience, are much more likely to find success in their academic endeavors. One of my mentees, Ryan Fink, is investigating the correlation of Grit with academic success.
I’ve found an ever-expanding number of residents, nurses, fellows and young faculty are interested in developing simulation and patient safety as the focus of their academic pursuits. I receive supreme satisfaction in helping talented individuals realize their potential. I plan to expand my circle of interprofessional mentees in the next phase of my career, supporting and mentoring them .
