A Multimodal Approach to Training Coronavirus Disease (COVID‐19) Processes Across Four Intensive Care Units

•COVID-19 required urgent clinical changes to promote Intensive Care Unit staff safety.•Information dissemination and high-volume team training demands a multimodal approach.•We employed videos, webinars, superusers, small-group simulation and cognitive aids. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) required innovative training strategies for emergent aerosol generating procedures in intensive care units. This manuscript summarizes institutional operationalization of COVID-specific training, standardized across four intensive care units. An interdisciplinary team collaborated with the Simulator Program and OpenPediatrics refining logistics using process maps, walkthroughs and simulation. A multimodal approach to information dissemination, high-volume team training in modified resuscitation practices and technical skill acquisition included instructional videos, training superusers, small-group simulation using a flipped classroom approach with rapid cycle deliberate practice, interactive webinars, and cognitive aids. Institutional data on application of this model are presented. Success was founded in interdisciplinary collaboration, resource availability and institutional buy in.
