892: Impact of a Multimedia Approach to Rapid Response Team Training in a Pharmacy Critical Care Elective

INTRODUCTION: The study purpose was to evaluate the impact of a multimedia educational approach composed of a Storyline 360 activity (online interactive video-based learning), a virtual intensive care unit environment (VICU) visitation, and classroom simulation utilizing a physical code tray on rapid response team (RRT) training in a critical care pharmacy elective Impact was assessed via: 1-Content interaction, 2-Understanding of, and comfort and preparedness with RRT treatments and roles METHODS: A Storyline 360 learning activity simulating a pharmacist, RRT orientation experience was developed As part of the activity, students went to the VICU environment to learn more about rapid responses and created a medication reference card The VICU was part of existing course content and was further developed for this activity Upon completion, students responded, in a virtual class setting, to RRT scenarios utilizing a physical code tray The class was virtual due to course transition to online instruction during the COVID-19 Pandemic Students documented time spent in the VICU as part of course activities Perception of impact on understanding, comfort, and preparedness were assessed via post-course survey and VICU exit questions RESULTS: All students completed the storyline activity and visited the RRT VICU Time, in minutes, spent in the VICU was: 1-15 (14/35, 40%), 16-30 (15/35, 43%), +30 (6/35, 17%) Compared to 2019, there was a significant difference in the time spent in the VICU with a larger % documenting longer time periods (p<0 0001) The postcourse survey response rate was a 29% (10/35) All of the respondents (10/10, 100%) felt the storyline activity and the code simulation increased understanding Nine respondents (90%) felt the storyline activity and code simulation increased preparedness and comfort with serving on a RRT As compared to the previous course offering, a greater % of students felt the VICU increased understanding (100% vs 87%, NS), comfort (90% vs 57%, NS), and preparedness (100% vs 90%, NS) CONCLUSIONS: Students demonstrated meaningful engagement in the storyline activity and increased engagement with the VICU While survey response was modest, almost all students felt the multi-media approach increased care understanding, comfort, and preparedness with serving on an RRT
