Many organizations have invested in simulation capabilities but haven’t yet used these resources to improve patient safety.  A new AHRQ issue brief, Simulation To Improve Patient Safety: Getting Started, describes why simulation can be a valuable asset, how to use simulation resources to improve patient safety, and how to collaborate with simulationists.

Access the issue brief (886 KB), which includes examples of the positive impact of simulations implemented in a variety of patient care settings and practical strategies to advance patient safety through simulation and debriefing.
