From ideal to real: a qualitative study of the implementation of in situ interprofessional simulation-based education.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the widespread adoption of interprofessional simulation-based education (IPSE) in healthcare as a means to optimize interprofessional teamwork, data suggest that IPSE may not achieve these intended goals due to a gap between the ideals and the realities of implementation.

Methods

We conducted a qualitative case study that used the framework method to understand what and how core principles from guidelines for interprofessional education (IPE) and simulation-based education (SBE) were implemented in existing in situ IPSE programs. We observed simulation sessions and interviewed facilitators and directors at seven programs.

Results

We found considerable variability in how IPSE programs apply and implement core principles derived from IPE and SBE guide
