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 patients 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
