Abstract

Lack of situation awareness (SA) in healthcare is a leading cause of medical errors. The University of West Florida's psychology and nursing faculty collaborated on an interdisciplinary, innovative approach to enhancing SA among novice nurses in a residency program. SA improvement was later assessed in a simulated patient care setting.
