The areas of health informatics, healthcare quality and safety, and healthcare simulation are often thought of as separate domains. The purpose of this position paper is to report on the interdependence that is emerging as an important triad across the healthcare/health system continuum. A qualitative review of 24 studies suggests the interdependence of health informatics, healthcare quality and safety, and healthcare simulation reaches much broader than traditional utilisation of simulation. We suggest ways that organisations can take advantage of the interdependence of this triad across a broader variety of healthcare environments, including teamwork, communication, and complex system relationships. In conclusion, the reviewed 24 studies suggest that the research in the triad focuses on simulation education and computerised simulation, and when coupled with health informatics, bears greater strength on quality improvement or patient safety.
健康信息学、医疗质量与安全以及医疗模拟等领域通常被视为相互独立的范畴。本立场文件旨在阐述正逐渐成为贯穿医疗保健/卫生系统连续统一体的重要三元组的相互依存关系。对24项研究的定性综述表明,健康信息学、医疗质量与安全以及医疗模拟之间的相互依存关系远比传统的模拟应用更为广泛。我们提出了一些方法,组织可以借此在更广泛的各类医疗环境中利用这一三元组的相互依存关系,包括团队协作、沟通以及复杂系统关系。总之,经综述的这24项研究表明,该三元组的研究聚焦于模拟教育和计算机化模拟,并且与健康信息学相结合时,在质量改进或患者安全方面具有更大的优势。
