Using Simulation to Improve Systems

Attempts to understand and improve health care delivery often focus on the characteristics of the patient and the characteristics of the health care providers, but larger systems surround and integrate with patients and providers. Components of health care delivery systems can support or interfere with efforts to provide optimal health care. Simulation in situ, involving real teams participating in simulations in real care settings, can be used to identify latent safety threats and improve the work environment while simultaneously supporting participant learning. Thoughtful planning and skilled debriefing are essential.
