[…] causal factors in patient-related errors and in the likelihood that a patient will seek legal retribution. Simulation provides a rich opportunity to learn and practice these vital communication skills. Fifth, practicing medical professionals should continuously retrain throughout their professional lives, embracing the philosophy of lifelong learning. This is evidenced in the requirement for Maintenance of Certifi cation mandated by the American Board of Medical Specialties for all its boards. Furthermore, military deployments for prolonged periods, temporary absence from work for social, personal or family reasons, and the advent of new procedures/ technology which keep the health care professional away from the regular practice of medicine for a prolonged period require retraining. Patient safety and quality of care are improved when practicing professionals regularly demonstrate profi ciency in technical, cognitive and systems skills in a controlled virtual environment, both for new skills and for select skills they may commonly employ in their practice. Practitioners may also hone technical and cognitive skills for patient scenarios they rarely encounter in their practice , but must be able to recognize and respond to appropriately. ISIS will provide educational opportunities for practicing health care providers to acquire new skills and to validate competency in select existing skills. Sixth, simulation technologies are now moving into the clinical arena through in situ training in actual emergency in situ training in actual emergency in situ rooms, ICU and operating rooms to improve performance and effi ciency in the actual clinical setting. Next generation simulators will permit “surgical rehearsal,” allowing a physician to practice an operation on the patient-specifi c image before performing the procedure on a patient. Evidence indicates that “warming up” before a procedure improves performance by decreasing operating time and errors. Data from these and other clinical uses of simulation will feed into quality improvement, risk management, privileging and patient safety committees to improve quality of care while reducing cost. Research Imperative As a Research Center in U W Medicine, ISIS is part of one of the top funded academic medical research institutions in the country, with a solid demonstration of collaboration across disciplines and in partnership with other U W world […]
