3012-17: What is the Secret?  Open the Medical Record!; Innovative Simulation Training for Managing Agitated Patients

This mini concurrent session includes two 20-minute presentations (described below) plus Q&A.

What is the Secret?  Open the Medical Record!
Hospitalized patients and their families are not optimally involved in the decisions that impact their care. Discover how to implement an Open Medical Record Program in your hospital and let the patient be the conductor of his care. Learn how to use Rapid Cycle debriefing in the mental health setting to improve techniques when addressing agitated patients.
Presenters:  Loralie M. Woods MSN, RN-BC; Vanessa Kurzon, MSN, RN

Innovative Simulation Training for Managing Agitated Patients
An innovative training strategy, Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice (RCDP) Simulation was piloted in an academic medical center psychiatric unit on managing agitated patients.  RCDP simulation proved effective in skill acquisition for verbal and physical de-escalation according to crisis prevention intervention concepts, promoting teamwork and communication among interdisciplinary teams and leadership.
Presenters:  Caroline Stewart MSN, RN; Lesli Reeves, MSN, RN, PMHNP-BC
