Steps to create a digital death notification RCDP training module

Task	Implementation comments
Enter quiz questions/surveys into LMS.	Consider precisely timed delivery and completion.
Distribute email instructing learners to complete self‐efficacy survey and knowledge‐based multiple‐choice test.	Consider making this a time‐limited activity.
Create a digital (Zoom) meeting to deliver the prebrief and provide an opportunity to answer questions.
Set up timed emails containing door notes to be read immediately prior to entering the meeting with the first SP.	Door notes should be opened no more than 10 minutes before the encounter. SPs can perform three interactions per hour.
Create digital (Zoom) meetings for each SP to host.	If the waiting room feature is used, one meeting will accommodate multiple learners. The learner will have 15 minutes to deliver notification of death, and the SP will have 5 minutes to evaluate the learner.
If future viewing is required, instruct SPs to record and save the meeting.	Participants may also require identification if they are to be evaluated by outside faculty or instructors.
Determine a means of sharing saved meetings.	Video file sizes tend to be quite large and may require secure transmission for sharing.
Create digital (Zoom) meeting with lecture faculty as host to deliver didactic content.
Set up timed emails containing door notes to be read immediately prior to entering the meeting with the second SP for RCDP.
Create digital (Zoom) meeting with simulation faculty as host for RCDP.	This meeting will have three to four learners and one SP with one faculty member.
Set up timed emails containing door notes to be read immediately prior to entering the meeting with the third SP.
Create digital (Zoom) meetings for each SP to host for the second one‐on‐one SP experience.	If the waiting room feature is used, one meeting will accommodate multiple learners. The learner will have 15 minutes to deliver notification of death, and the SP will have 5 minutes to evaluate the learner.
If future viewing is required, instruct SPs to record and save the meeting.	Participants may also require identification if they are to be evaluated by outside faculty or instructors.
Set LMS or survey instrument to open immediately following the third SP session for final surveys.	Consider making this a time‐limited activity.
Instruct SPs to submit their score sheets for the first and third simulation experience.	Ideally, SPs would evaluate three different learners in the first and third session.
