Emergency Department
Using simulation to achieve quality improvement (QI) in the Emergency Department (ED) brings everyone together to understand and solve problems under conditions that mimic real life.
Patient simulation helps hospitals and healthcare organizations improve patient care within teams and across care systems. Practitioners worldwide use simulation to identify problems, develop effective solutions, and measurably improve care quality.
Quality improvement relies on collaboration. Without it, efforts to make positive change often go untested, waste resources, frustrate providers, and risk patient safety. Simulation achieves what other solutions often can’t—it brings people together in the problem-solving process, giving them high quality data and analytics, co-design techniques, and a collaborative space in which to find solutions.
