One of the major reasons for healthcare simulation is to improve patient safety and outcomes. Clinical simulation has been linked to improved patient safety and patient outcomes through deliberate practice and application of knowledge in a safe environment to learners for mistakes without potential harm to a patient. The Institute of Global Health Innovation at [...]
Patient safety is a high priority in healthcare organizations, and medical simulation educators play a vital role in designing effective clinical simulations to proactively identify and prevent future medical errors. Hospital simulation programs offer experiential learning opportunities to improve patient safety and reduce medical errors. In this article by Melissa Tully, a TeamSTEPPS Master Trainer, [...]
Research shows that Healthcare Simulation can provide for clinical process improvement, when effectively managed. This research focuses on the simulation of medical situations and procedures, which is arguably needed and leads to improved patient outcomes. However, some medical simulationists ask, “How can we as the healthcare simulation team offer simulation to improve our processes as [...]
