Over the past decade, emergency medicine (EM) took a lead role in healthcare simulation in part due to its demands for successful interprofessional and multidisciplinary collaboration, along with educational needs in a diverse array of cognitive and procedural skills. Simulation-based methodologies have the capacity to support training and research platforms that model micro-, meso-, and macrosystems of healthcare. To fully capitalize on the potential of simulation-based research to improve emergency healthcare delivery will require the application of rigorous methods from engineering, social science, and basic science disciplines. The Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM) Consensus Conference "Catalyzing System Change Through Healthcare Simulation: Systems, Competency, and Outcome" was conceived to foster discussion among experts in EM, engineering, and social sciences, focusing on key barriers and opportunities in simulation-based research. This executive summary describes the overall rationale for the conference, conference planning, and consensus-building approaches and outlines the focus of the eight breakout sessions. The consensus outcomes from each breakout session are summarized in proceedings papers published in this issue of Academic Emergency Medicine. Each paper provides an overview of methodologic and knowledge gaps in simulation research and identifies future research targets aimed at improving the safety and quality of healthcare.
在过去的十年中，急诊医学（EM）在医疗保健模拟中发挥了主导作用，部分原因是它需要成功的跨专业和多学科合作，以及在各种认知和程序技能方面的教育需求。基于模拟的方法有能力支持培训和研究平台，模拟医疗保健的微观、中观和宏观系统。为了充分利用基于模拟的研究在改善急诊医疗服务方面的潜力，需要将工程、社会科学和基础科学学科的严格方法应用于研究。学术急诊医学（AEM）共识会议“通过医疗保健模拟催化系统变革：系统、能力和结果”的构想是为了促进急诊医学、工程学和社会科学专家之间的讨论，重点关注基于模拟的研究中的关键障碍和机遇。本执行摘要描述了会议的总体基本原理、会议规划和共识建立方法，并概述了八个分组会议的重点。每个分组会议的共识结果都在本期《学术急诊医学》中发表的会议论文集中进行了总结。每篇论文都概述了模拟研究中的方法和知识差距，并确定了未来的研究目标，旨在提高医疗保健的安全性和质量。
