All responders should act/perform duties as if it were an actual code event. Observations are recorded, and discusssed after the exercise during the After Action Review. Written report of exercise is submitted to the Emergency Response Committee for any needed policy reviews/changes.

Advanced Cardiac Life Support recertification provider course for clinical staff in advanced resuscitation management.

Monthly refresher on management of cardiac arrests, rapid response team calls, etc. using short simulations and debriefings. 1 hour course run monthly in evenings to capture largest fraction of participants.




Periodic (> monthly) unannounced mock cardiac arrests in diverse places in the medical center and medical campus (e.g. including loading dock). With concurrence of unit nurse manager, simulator is brought to unused patient room/bed, rapidly set up, and a cardiac arrest called by a nurse at that bedsite. Code team arrives and treats it as a real cardiac arrest. Debriefing performed in the room by expert faculty member

Similar to unannounced mock codes except that rather than being cardiac arrests the scenarios are deteriorating patients who are not in cardiac arrest. RRT responds not knowing it is a simulation (until arrival) and treats it as reall RRT call
