Improving patients' intensive care admission through multidisciplinary simulation-based crisis resource management: a qualitative study.
Crisis (or crew) resource management (CRM) training focuses on improvement of non-technical skills such as communication, teamwork, and situational awareness. This quality improvement project consisted of simulation-based CRM training in the context of intensive care unit admission. Interviews with participants, conducted three months after the simulation, revealed several themes including reflections on patient safety. Participants described positive changes in workflow, professional standards, and smoother and controlled processes.
