Abstract Background: Effective teamwork and communication are critical in emergency care, where rapid decision-making impacts patient outcomes. Cross-disciplinary simulation-based training offers a safe environment to improve technical and non-technical skills among healthcare professionals.
Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness of cross-disciplinary simulation-based training on team performance and patient outcomes in a tertiary hospital.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted with 150 participants from various healthcare disciplines. Training included high-fidelity simulations of emergency scenarios, with pre- and post-training assessments using the TEAM tool, knowledge tests, and hospital performance data. Qualitative feedback was collected through focus groups and thematic analysis.
Results: TEAM scores improved significantly post-training (p < 0.001), with sustained improvement at three months. Knowledge and skills scores increased (p < 0.001), though a slight decline was noted at follow-up. Patient outcomes, including time to intervention, error rates, and protocol adherence, showed significant improvements. Qualitative findings highlighted enhanced communication, confidence, and collaboration.
Conclusion: Cross-disciplinary simulation-based training effectively enhances teamwork, clinical skills, and patient outcomes. Sustained benefits suggest its potential as a vital component of professional development in tertiary hospitals.
