“…Recently, a group of researchers completed an integrative literature review on interprofessional communication in healthcare and found that simulation training incorporating communication techniques was effective to promote communication among nurses and physicians 13. These researchers further report, based on their review, that simulation should be considered the gold standard for training nurses and physicians in communication skills.…”

BackgroundMeeting employer expectations is a challenge for new nurse graduates and their nurse educators. Designing studies to collect specific data on hospital expectations and new nursing graduate deficiencies is needed.SampleHospital-based educators and preceptors (n=13) participated in one of two focus groups, to identify problem areas. Senior nursing students (n=64) participated in simulations developed from data obtained in the sessions.MethodsAudio-recorded focus groups were conducted with the goal to identify deficiencies in new graduate nurses. Recordings were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsHospital employer expectation themes identified include attending to basic patient needs, organisational skills, anticipation of risks and consequences, higher order technical skills, communication and ownership/accountability. Two simulations for senior nursing students were developed to address identified deficiencies.ConclusionDeveloping meaningful simulations which address deficiencies prior to graduation, in collaboration with potential employers, has the potential to lower the cost of graduate nurse orientation, improve patient outcomes, provide a greater sense of readiness to the graduate nurse and ultimately meet the needs of both the student and employer.

“…Poor communication may lead to poor patient outcomes. Although emphasis has been placed on interprofessional communication (particularly between physicians and nurses) in the health system [1], little has been written about problems in communication within the medical profession. During medical school and residency training students and residents are often confronted with problems related not only to supervisors but also to people at the same training level, as well as ancillary staff.…”

“…IPE has been linked with improvement of collaborative practice, superior communication practices, and an enhanced appreciation of the patient's perspective (Foronda, MacWilliams, & McArthur, 2016;Institute of Medicine, 2015). Collaboration is clearly in the best interest of patients and the wider healthcare team.…”
