The goal of healthcare simulation has always been to improve education and training amongst medical professionals to ultimately improve patient safety and reduce medical errors. To help exemplify the impact the field of clinical simulation is having on patient care, research has been conducted to assess the effectiveness of practice. For example, healthcare simulations and [...]
Prebriefing is a critical component of healthcare simulation and can be employed prior to online, virtual, or distant simulation experiences. An educator-designed phase of simulation that is implemented at a designated time prior to the ‘hands-on’ scenario, this practice includes both orientation tasks and learner engagement activities that will enhance learner satisfaction, participation, and effectiveness [...]

Through LEARN webinars, healthcare simulation learners have been able to gain insights from leading medical simulation experts worldwide, from anywhere and at any time. As HealthySimulation.com and the LEARN platform continue to grow [...]
People make mistakes. When those people are physicians, nurses, or other healthcare professionals, mistakes can lead to patient harm or death. Medical errors claim the lives of over 3,000,000 patients every year. Globally, avoidable mistakes by healthcare professionals are believed to kill more people than HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis, combined. Some estimates predict that one [...]
