Simulation Training to Improve 911 Dispatcher Identification of Cardiac Arrest (STAT911)
November 7, 2016 updated by: Hendrika Meischke, University of Washington
This study is to test the use of simulation training to improve 9-1-1 telecommunicators' call processing and response.
Training sessions will expose 9-1-1 telecommunicators to several realistic emergency situations through mock 9-1-1 calls with a trained actor playing the part of a reporting party, followed immediately by feedback on call handling provided by a trained call observer.
Investigators hypothesize that simulation followed by trained observer-directed feedback will increase correct triage of medical emergency and delivery of pre-arrival instructions during simulated calls and in actual 9-1-1 calls.

Design Details
- Primary Purpose: Health Services Research
- Allocation: Randomized
- Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
- Masking: None (Open Label)
Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Control
Participants randomized to the control arm receive no telephone simulation training.
|
|
Experimental: Simulation Training
Participants randomized to the intervention arm receive telephone simulation training.
|
The intervention consists of four 20-minute telephone simulation training sessions over a 4 month period (one session each month).
Each 20-minute training session will include 3 simulated 9-1-1 calls, performed by a standardized caller (trained actor) and feedback will be provided right away by a trained observer who takes notes during the simulation calls and discusses the teaching points after the session.
In total, the 9-1-1 dispatchers will receive 12 different simulated calls.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Time Frame |
---|---|
Change in elapsed seconds from call answer to start of telephone-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR) instructions in cardiac arrest calls in simulations and in actual calls.
Time Frame: Once monthly over 4 months (during simulations); at event (actual cardiac arrest 9-1-1 call) over 12 months.
|
Once monthly over 4 months (during simulations); at event (actual cardiac arrest 9-1-1 call) over 12 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Time Frame |
---|---|
Change in proportion of calls with querying behaviors compliant with the "all-callers" interviewing protocol.
Time Frame: Once monthly over 4 months (during simulations); at event (actual cardiac arrest 9-1-1 call) over 12 months.
