Deteriorating Patients: Global Reach and Impact of an E-Simulation Program

Abstract Background E-simulation may enable a feasible education solution to the management of deteriorating patients. Method The study involves a pre–post quasi-experimental evaluation of global data on educational outcomes from an e-simulation program. Results Qualified nurses (n = 1,229) and final year nursing students (n = 1,742) were among 5,511 participants from 20 countries who completed the program. Both groups' knowledge and performance improved significantly ( p = Conclusion E-simulation may enhance students' preparation for practice and improve qualified nurses' management of deteriorating patients.
