De-Escalation Sims Logistics: In person, Date/Time

5/19/2022

• Session 1 9:25-11:25 AM
• Session 2 12:15-2:15 PM

De-escalation Simulation Description:

De-escalation simulations train Clinical Social Work (MSW) students and senior Medical Students to work together in the clinical environment to de-escalate patient scenarios.  The focus will be on best practices of clinical de-escalation skills, and utilizing interprofessional team-based communications.  Students are required to complete preparatory modules for this simulation.  Simulations will be conducted with standardized patients (SPs) and volunteer student participants (you are not required to interact with the SP). Students not actively interacting with standardized patients in the simulations will still be active participants for interprofessional communication and feedback in small and large groups.  This is an in-person only session that will be located at the University of Washington Medical Center Montlake WISH Center

Objectives:

• Learn best practices for clinical de-escalation skills – prevention, situational awareness, physical safety training, psychological safety and self-management, self-awareness of about bias and stereotyping that occurs with perception of threat, when to involve safety officers.
• Learn and review best practices for interprofessional communication in high intensity environments – huddles, SBAR, debriefs.
• Practice de-escalation skills with standardized patients in pairs or triads
• Practice interprofessional communication skills in small groups
