Abstract:
Data can be a powerful tool that can be used to drive continuous improvement, best practices, patient safety and quality and to benchmark against other like simulation programs in our community and around the globe. The standardized collection of metrics and data is the next frontier of the healthcare simulation world and will become standard practice.
This work ensures that programs are saving time and money and are reducing waste. Ultimately, adding value to the organization which in turn provides a return on investment (ROI), or a return on expectation (ROE). There are simple steps that can help build a strong foundation for such data collection and integration. This presentation will cover the importance of data collection and why it matters, steps to implementation and examples of successful simulation programs metrics and data collection implementation.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the importance of collecting meaningful data in their daily activities.
- Explain how to collect data and sync it to overall institutional data.
- Examine how other programs have implemented data collection processes into their daily activities.
