Abstract:
In his best selling book, “Outliers,” Malcolm Gladwell examines the factors that contribute to an individual’s success. Throughout his book, Gladwell theorizes how historical and cultural circumstances can pave the way for such phenomenal success — pointing out examples like how the best hockey players are born in January, and the majority of the world’s computer industry leaders were all raised in Silicon valley during 1955.
In his highly praised plenary presentation, Baily asks “What can the healthcare simulation industry learn from a similar exploration of its own past, present, and future?”. Utilizing a visual journey through a “tree of time,” Baily will demonstrate key waypoints that enabled other high-stakes industries like aviation to become one of the safest in the world — and parallels the quickly approaching changes that will fundamentally disrupt healthcare education, training, and patient safety forever.
Baily will not only explain what Klingon surgery, police body cameras, and Roman legionnaires all have in common but also why some pre-existing technologies already hold the keys to the future of clinical simulation and, ultimately, better patient care.
Learning Objectives:
- Illustrate the historical circumstances which have enabled clinical simulation to exist in its current form.
- Break down the contemporary technologies already improving other high-stakes professions.
- Predict the future of medical simulation and recognize potential catalysts for change.
