Simulation is underutilized as a tool to improve healthcare quality and safety despite many examples of its effectiveness to identify and remedy quality and safety problems, improve teamwork, and improve various measures of quality and safety that are important to healthcare organizations, eg, patient safety indicators. We urge quality and safety and simulation professionals to collaborate with their counterparts in their organizations to employ simulation in ways that improve the quality and safety of care of their patients. These collaborations could begin through initiating conversations among the quality and safety and simulation professionals, perhaps using this article as a prompt for discussion, identifying one area in need of quality and safety improvement for which simulation can be helpful, and beginning that work.
尽管模拟在识别和解决质量和安全问题、改善团队合作以及提高对医疗保健组织重要的各种质量和安全措施方面具有许多有效性的例子,但它作为一种提高医疗质量和安全的工具仍未得到充分利用。我们敦促质量和安全以及模拟专业人员与其组织中的同行合作,以模拟的方式提高患者护理的质量和安全性。这些合作可以通过质量和安全以及模拟专业人员之间的对话开始,也许可以使用本文作为讨论的提示,确定一个需要质量和安全改进的领域,其中模拟可以提供帮助,并开始开展这项工作。
