Simulation-based training can improve patient care and enhance patient safety when factors influencing its design, delivery, evaluation, and transfer are taken into consideration.
Simulation-based training, when properly designed and evaluated, has the potential to enhance patient safety in healthcare.
May support simulation training in safety curricula with proper design; leaves open confirmation via prospective trials before practice change.
Simulation-based training can improve patient care when factors influencing its design, delivery, evaluation, and transfer are taken into consideration. In this paper, we provide a number of principles and practical tips that organizations in health care can use to begin implementing effective simulation-based training as a way to enhance patient safety. We commend the health care community for their efforts thus far. We hope that the information provided in this paper will encourage thinking beyond the "bells and whistles" of the simulation and bring to light full potential of simulation-based training in health care and patient safety.
