“…For good outcomes in health care, collaborative practice whereby nurses and physicians make a concerted effort to combine their unique professional skills and knowledge base is crucial. 16 Collaboration between team members has been clearly shown to increase awareness of each other's type of knowledge and skill, leading to continued improvement in decision making. 2 Effective nurse-physician collaboration has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality rates, cost of care, and errors and to improve job satisfaction and retention of nursing staff.…”

N early a decade has passed since the Institute of Medicine released its seminal report To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System. 1 The report described the US health care system as a decade or more behind other high-risk industries in its attention to ensuring basic safety. One recommendation was that Congress should create a center for patient safety within the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The AHRQ was asked to set standards, communicate with members about safety, and develop training programs that create a culture of safety across disciplines. 1 The AHRQ supports simulation research through its patient safety program, recognizing that "simulation in health care creates a safe learning environment that allows researchers and practitioners to test new clinical processes and to enhance individual and team skills before encountering patients." 2 OBJECtIvE: To determine whether interdisciplinary simulation team training can positively affect registered nurse and/or physician perceptions of collaboration in clinical decision making.PARtICIPANtS AND MEtHODS: Between March 1 and April 21, 2009, a convenience sample of volunteer nurses and physicians was recruited to undergo simulation training consisting of a team response to 3 clinical scenarios. Participants completed the Collaboration and Satisfaction About Care Decisions (CSACD) survey before training and at 2 weeks and 2 months after training. Differences in CSACD summary scores between the time points were assessed with paired t tests.RESuLtS: Twenty-eight health care professionals (19 nurses, 9 physicians) underwent simulation training. Nurses were of similar age to physicians (27.3 vs 34.5 years; p=.82), were more likely to be women (95.0% vs 12.5%; p<.001), and were less likely to have undergone prior simulation training (0% vs 37.5%; p=.02). The pretest showed that physicians were more likely to perceive that open communication exists between nurses and physicians (p=.04) and that both medical and nursing concerns influence the decision-making process (p=.02). Pretest CSACD analysis revealed that most participants were dissatisfied with the decisionmaking process. The CSACD summary score showed significant improvement from baseline to 2 weeks (4.2 to 5.1; p<.002), a trend that persisted at 2 months (p<.002). CONCLuSION:Team training using high-fidelity simulation scenarios promoted collaboration between nurses and physicians and enhanced the patient care decision-making process. Effective collaboration between registered nurses and physicians has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality rates, cost of care, and medical errors and to improve job satisfaction and retention of nursing staff. [3][4][5][6] The nursing workforce is expected to decrease by 20% by 2020, putting the profession in a critical shortage. 7 Collaboration between nurses and physicians improves professional job satisfaction and is considered a high priority for retention purposes. The literature has outlined the importance of nurse-physician collaboration b...

“…open'), and cooperative problem solving is measured by four items (e.g., 'Nurses and physicians all contribute from their experience and expertise to produce a high quality solution for work-related problems') from the Shortell ICU Nurse-Physician Questionnaire (Shortell et al, 1991) that are scored on five-point Likert Scales (1=not at all likely, 5=almost certainly). Professional recognition is measured by six items (e.g., 'Concerning the success of patient care, physicians understand that the work of nurses is as important as their own work') from the Collaborative Practice Scale (Weiss & Davis, 1985) that are scored on a five-point Likert Scale (1=never, 5 =always).…”

“…These projects also served as an impetus for development of tools to measure "collaborative" nursephysician relationships. 31,32 A measurement problem discovered almost immediately was that physicians perceived the degree of nursephysician collaboration to be much greater than what nurses perceived it to be. And the differences were quite large.…”

“…We interviewed 279 staff nurses in 14 magnet hospitals 1 and discovered some interesting facts. Throughout the 1990s, good nurse-physician relationships were assessed by having the 2 groups complete the Weiss and Davis collaborative practice scales, 31 which operated on the principle that all nurse-physician relationships on a clinical unit were the same or highly similar. Staff nurses quickly informed us that such is not the case.…”

Throughout the 1990s, a great deal was written about the importance of "good" nurse-physician relationships, about how high-quality nurse-physician relationships were 1 of the 3 cornerstones of excellent (magnetic) work environments, about how the quality of nursephysician relationships is more of a concern to nurses than to physicians, and about how physicians consistently rate the quality of these relationships higher than do nurses. [18][19][20][21] In all of these writings, what constitutes good or high-quality relationships between physicians and nurses is seldom defined, and when an attempt is made to assess goodness, nurse-physician relationships are measured as though all interactions between nurses and physicians on
