Real World Challenges

• Initial training intervention over > 1year
  • Difficulty assessing contribution of simulation training as a special cause due to other changes in the environment
• Due to mix of providers working in ED, difficult to assess the impact of the training in the clinical environment due to mixed teams
• Staff turnover and new hires ensures that some fraction of providers will not be trained at any one time
