Quick Doses of NPD: Improving Code Response Through In Situ Simulation
January 12, 2026 — Anne Johnson, BSN, RN, MEDSURG-BC







Image Overlay Quick Doses of NPD: Improving Code Response Through In Situ Simulation

In this episode of NPD Forecast, Annie Johnson kicks off our Quick Doses of NPD miniseries to discuss the throughput education by sharing her work that strengthens staff responses to a medical emergency code. Johnson shares insights from the “Shock and Awe” project, an initiative focused on improving nurses’ performance during codes and increasing adherence to American Heart Association (AHA) metrics by using in situ simulations.

The conversation explores:

  • How monthly simulations conducted within  nursing units support real-world learning;
  • The importance of psychological safety and flexible training approaches;
  • And how skills-based education has led to improved response times—while also addressing common challenges, including caregiver confidence with defibrillator use.

About the Miniseries: The Quick Doses of NPD miniseries offers brief, practical snapshots of a throughput in action within nursing professional development.
