Using facilitators in mock codes: recasting the parts for success.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Members of the CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Children's Hospital staff development committee identified a need for a mock code program which would address a range of learning needs for nurses and other caregivers with varying levels of knowledge, skills, and experience. METHOD:We implemented a mock code program using experienced caregivers, usually emergency room and pediatric intensive care RNs and respiratory therapists to serve as facilitators to code participants during the mock code drills. Facilitators have dual roles of teaching and guiding the code participant as well as evaluating performance. RESULTS:Code participants and facilitators benefit from the design of this program. Debriefing session input and written program evaluations show that code participants value the opportunity to practice their skills in a nonthreatening situation in which they receive immediate feedback as needed. Facilitators learn to teach and coach and strengthen their own code knowledge and skills at the same time. CONCLUSION:This mock code program serves as a unique way to include novice and experienced nurses in mock codes together. The knowledge, skills, and confidence of the code participants and the facilitators have matured. The design of the program allows for immediate teaching/learning where needed, as well as appropriate evaluation. This program develops stronger, calmer, more efficient, and more confident nurses during codes. Practice and equipment changes can be based on findings from the mock codes. The program is invaluable to patients, staff, and hospital.
