Every nurse makes history.

Health care professionals in obstetrics must be prepared to respond when emergencies arise. Simulation provides the opportunity to train in a team setting but can be resource-intensive. A postprogram implementation analysis compared high-fidelity in-situ simulation to a novel approach called "Sim Huddles." Sim Huddles are conducted in a quick, informal, low-fidelity staff huddle format incorporating concepts of TeamSTEPPS?. Postsimulation participant surveys from nine Sim Huddles were compared to nine traditional in-situ simulations. Results show similar achievement of learning goals and statistically significant improvement in self-reported confidence (p = .002) from the traditional in-situ format (mean = 4.32, sd = .771) compared to the Sim Huddle format (mean = 4.74, sd = .480). Sim Huddles can provide effective training with less time and fewer resources than what is required of traditional, high-fidelity simulation.
