Background E-simulation may enable a feasible education solution to the management of deteriorating patients. Method The study involves a pre-post quasi-experimental evaluation of global data on educational outcomes from an e-simulation program. Results Qualified nurses (n = 1,229) and final year nursing students (n = 1,742) were among 5,511 participants from 20 countries who completed the program. Both groups' knowledge and performance improved significantly (p = <.001) with no difference between groups. Regression analysis revealed predictors of performance were education level, knowledge, experience, and being female. Participants positively evaluated the program and mode of delivery. Conclusion E-simulation may enhance students' preparation for practice and improve qualified nurses' management of deteriorating patients. © 2017 International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning
