Description:
Simulation is a technique to replace or amplify experiences found in real life. In healthcare, it is used to improve patient safety and enhance care, not only by refining individual skills and decision-making but by honing the performance of clinical teams. It’s a time-efficient, cost-effective method to teach healthcare providers how to recognize and avoid errors. Simulation can be used to enhance readiness for practice, teamwork, collaboration, communication, and leadership. It can take a variety of forms from simple to complex. This module provides nurses with an overview of simulation as an instructional strategy not only for nursing education but also for interprofessional training.
