Simulation for Systems Integration: A Win-Win to Achieve Your Education, Quality, and Safety Goals.

McCormick, Anna E.; Jani, Priti

Health care education is a cornerstone of clinical excellence, ensuring the highest level of readiness to achieve high-quality and safe care. Integrating simulation into health care systems can provide a modality to address educational, quality, and safety goals. Simulation is a methodology used to immerse individuals, teams, and medical systems into clinical scenarios or environments. Through facilitation and debriefing, the immersive experience can be used to provide vital education, develop optimal health care practices, and identify prospects for improvement. Simulation provides an opportunity to blend the needs of continuing multiprofessional education while addressing quality and safety goals, and ultimately, promoting a positive safety culture. Applied comprehensively, simulation for systems integration can both promote the transformation of the health care system into a learning organization, as well as translate to improved health care outcomes.
