Building a Culture of Patient Safety Through Simulation: An Interprofessional Learning Model

• Building a Culture of Patient Safety Through Simulation An Interprofessional Learning Model.

This book provides a dynamic and comprehensive interprofessional approach to building a culture of safety by using simulation across clinical and education spheres in care... This is a comprehensive guide and resource for care organizations, educators, and diverse interprofessional care team members to use to improve patient safety efforts to adapt to the ever-changing, complex world of care. Its practical application is pertinent in transforming the education and practice of medicine, nursing, and other -related fields... Weighted Numerical Score: 99 - 5 Stars! Patricia West, MS, BSN Michigan State University College of Nursing Doody's Medical Reviews "[The authors] have brought together a core group of national leaders to produce what I think is a paradigm-busting book that will help to transform education at the graduate level in medicine, nursing, and all related fields. The book speaks expertly about the high fidelity of simulation training, the need for synthetic models, the adult learning theory behind the debriefÖit is a manifesto about where we must go as an interprofessional team, caring for the patient of the future." From the Foreword, by David B. Nash, MD, MBA Dean, Jefferson School of Population Philadelphia, PA This groundbreaking book reflects the accomplishments of an internationally recognized leader of innovation regarding interprofessional clinical learning through simulation. Based on the North Shore-LIJ System corporate university experience, the book describes how this organization used simulation to successfully tackle the major interprofessional issue of our time: patient safety. This system created a transformative simulation center that involves nurses, doctors, and related professionals whose work in clinical teams has resulted in measurable improvements in all aspects of clinical decision-making, critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skillsótoward the ultimate goal of improved patient safety.
