Abstract:
Despite the size and importance of clinical simulations, the practice remains less prevalent in non-clinical areas of healthcare. Simulation has the potential to play a role at many levels throughout the medical field. There are significant disciplines that can benefit from using simulation in the healthcare arena. Simulation modeling in the right context for deciding what area would benefit can be used for achieving success in current and future simulation projects. Achieving desired performance outcomes by way of non-clinical simulation remain an underrated tool in the healthcare setting.
Simulation modeling is the process of creating and analyzing a digital prototype of a physical model to predict its performance in the real world. Simulation modeling is used to help designers and engineers understand whether, under what conditions, and in which ways a part could fail and what loads it can withstand. In this presentation, we will explore additional ways groups can utilize the methodology of simulation to improve processess which are not necessarily tied directly towards increased patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Attendees will be able to categorize areas of their organization that would benefit with using simulation.
- Demonstrate knowledge of simulation modeling for non-clinical simulation events.
- Understand how using desired outcomes would benefit the use of simulation.
