The purpose of this program evaluation was to explore whether incorporating deliberate learning concepts, through the use of simulated patient scenarios to teach interprofessional collaboration skills to a healthcare team on one acute-care hospital unit, would improve the resuscitation response in the first 5 minutes on that unit. ⋯ A unit-based quality-improvement simulation training program could help improve the first-5-minute response and resuscitation skills of staff by increasing the frequency of unit-based training overseen by the unit's clinical nurse specialist.
