In-situ simulation occurs in the clinical environment. This allows healthcare providers greater access to the educational session while providing the opportunity to test systems or protocols in place. Anaphylaxis is a rare and life-threatening event. As such, many healthcare providers are uncomfortable managing it. The use of simulation as an educational methodology allows the learners to practice rare, high-risk scenarios in a low-risk environment. There is no negative impact to an actual patient when an in-situ simulation education session is provided. Usually there are positive results due to increased staff awareness and improved process. In the spring of 2015, stakeholders at the outpatient antibiotic therapy program (OPAT) at The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) approached the nurse educator team to develop an education session around anaphylaxis management. The nurse educators chose to design and implement an in-situ simulation scenario involving the inter-professional clinic team. Through the use of inter-professional in-situ simulation the team was able to clarify roles, identify equipment issues and rectify those issues as this technical report describes.
现场模拟在临床环境中进行。这使医疗保健提供者有更多机会参与教育活动，同时提供了测试现有系统或方案的机会。过敏反应是一种罕见且危及生命的事件。因此，许多医疗保健提供者对处理此类情况感到不自在。将模拟作为一种教育方法，能让学习者在低风险环境中练习罕见的高风险场景。提供现场模拟教育课程时，对实际患者没有负面影响。通常，由于提高了工作人员的意识和改进了流程，会产生积极的效果。2015年春天，渥太华医院（TOH）门诊抗生素治疗项目（OPAT）的相关人员与护士教育团队联系，希望围绕过敏反应管理开展一次教育活动。护士教育工作者选择设计并实施一个涉及跨专业诊所团队的现场模拟场景。通过跨专业现场模拟，团队能够明确角色、识别设备问题并如本技术报告所述纠正这些问题。
