12208 (603) High-Fidelity Simulation for Transport Team Training and Competency Evaluation
Bridget Cross, MSN APRN NNP-BC

Abstract
Neonatal transport teams are challenged to provide high quality, cost effective care. Staff unpreparedness and improperly applied neonatal skills and interventions can be associated with an immeasurable increase in adverse outcomes, including pain and suffering, morbidity, mortality, and increased cost. While historically there has been little consistency in neonatal transport team composition, training or competency evaluation, this article will demonstrate how the utilization of simulation-based training and competency is beneficial in assuring team members receive and maintain the skills needed to recognize and manage adverse events during transport. Transport simulation standards will be proposed and suggestions for utilizing both low-fidelity and high fidelity simulation are provided.

Learning Objectives
1. Discuss the current challenges of transport team configuration, education, and outcomes.
2. Demonstrate the positive utilization of high fidelity simulation training on neonatal transport team training.
