Abstract

Simulation based education (SBE) will always have an important role in facilitating learning in resuscitation, team dynamics and technical aspects of the care of a critical patient. It can be an extremely powerful tool in driving reflection and learning. Increasingly, the “human competencies” of health care is being identified as an area of focus in quality improvement initiatives. Hospital administration, health care providers and patients are driving a crucial agenda toward a more compassionate, respectful environment in which to provide and receive care. It is not a simple solution. SBE may provide a potent tool to support this mission. This webinar will explore the why’s and how’s of simulation for kindness. Opening the door to explicitly valuing this powerful tool in an area of need.
