Simulation techniques can improve patient safety

摘要

There's no doubt that in healthcare the goal is to perform safely: safe to the provider, safe to the patient, and safe to all those around us.This concept has been summarized into the term "patient safety." Many of the common definitions of patient safety focus solely on the patient. The Institute of Medicine states that patient safety is "the prevention of harm to patients," while the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality lists it as "freedom from accidental or preventable, injuries produced by medical care."
