Time: 6.00 - 7.00pm AEST
Topic: Connecting simulation and quality improvement: how can healthcare simulation really improve patient care?
Presenter: Dr Victoria Brazil
About the Topic:
Improving quality and safety in healthcare requires more than just excellent clinicians. The systems in which we work have a profound influence on patient outcomes and provider experience. Healthcare simulation has long been used as a training modality but can also be a powerful tool to explore and improve the processes and systems in which we work.
In this session we’ll explore some examples of how simulation can be used in this way – as translational simulation. We’ll reflect on the practicalities of design and delivery of simulation for this purpose and consider where this approach is going I the future.
