The purpose of the current pilot study was to develop, based on the consensus of experts, a checklist of clinical competencies that health care providers could use when initially managing pa- tients experiencing SWD or delirium in the inpatient setting. This checklist can guide both the clinician and evalu- ator during interprofessional educa tion of pre- and post-licensure health care providers. The need for consistent evaluation by health care provider edu- cators during simulation experiences warranted the development of a clini cal competency checklist for SWD or delirium. Table 1 outlines the Diagnos tic and Statistical Manual of Mental Dis- orders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013) criteria for diagnosing SWD and delirium
