IPSSV2022: Human Factors in Pediatric Simulation
Human factors can be integrated into healthcare simulation-based education to make the training experience even more realistic. This is true in the case of pediatric simulation, as learners may use this approach to gain a deeper understanding of design, systems, and processes that may later hamper them in their attempt to deliver the best care. To help these learners gain an even greater understanding of human factors and reshape their mindsets to better support the safety and quality care of children, the International Pediatric Simulation Society will host the organization’s IPSSV2022 “Human Factors in Pediatric Simulation: Creating Safer Care” event on November 9, 2022. This HealthySimulation.com article will preview the event and share what attendees can expect.
IPSSV2022 will be held virtually on Zoom. Attendees can join IPSS leadership and presenters live from around the world to learn and earn CE credits. Attending participants can expect to hear from expert keynote speakers. They will also have the chance to ask questions during the Q&A sessions.
Further, participants will be granted the opportunity to join in a panel discussion with the keynote speakers. All three keynotes are highly experienced in the field of human factors.

“This symposium will provide a deeper understanding of human factors, reshape mindsets, and better support safety and quality care of children,” said
Taylor Sawyer, DO, MEd, CHSE-A, FAAP is a Neonatologist at the University of Washington Medical Center and Seattle Children’s Hospital. “When we apply a human factors approach to pediatric simulation, we refocus to gain a deeper understanding of design, systems, and processes that may hamper us in our attempt to deliver the best care. This event will bring together experts in the fields of simulation and human factors.”

More About IPSS
The International Pediatric Simulation Society (IPSS) is a global community of pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists, pediatric nurses, educators, and other allied health professionals who are dedicated to improving the care of infants and children worldwide. They work to achieve this outcome through multi-disciplinary, simulation-based education, training, and research in pediatric simulation.
The Society strives to extend the knowledge and skills that participating members have gained to the widest possible audience. Extending membership and involvement to all healthcare professionals who care for children and infants, regardless of the geographic location where they practice, IPSS has become a global voice influencing worldwide childcare innovation, integration, and motivation.
Since the first IPSS meeting in Stockholm, Sweden in 2008, the year the society was founded by 11 multi-national pediatric medical practitioners, membership in the International Pediatric Simulation Society has grown immensely. Involving healthcare specialists from over 30 countries, the goal of the IPSS remains to promote multidisciplinary simulation in all healthcare subspecialties that treat infants and children. Further, the vision of IPSS is that children and families come to have the best healthcare opportunities possible.
