Abstract: COVID19 has forced educational institutions, medical care organizations, and government bodies to rethink education and training within healthcare in incredible ways. Now, more than ever, healthcare professionals and their respective institutions are making calls to address medical errors and nationalize reporting and analysis to improve patient care and reduce costs. Does this means it is time the U.S. government developed a new National Patient Safety Board (NPSB), similar to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in the aviation industry, to help mitigate harm? But what does the NTSB do and why is it important for us to consider duplicating that agency into healthcare? Starting of this session, HealthySimulation.com Founder Lance Baily will introduce Dr. Karen Wolk Feinstein, President and CEO of the Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative and the Jewish Healthcare Foundation and a part of the National Patient Safety Board Advocacy Coalition, an organization working to develop and create a NPSB. Following this introduction, world renown simulation experts Dr. Paul Phrampus, Director, WISER Center & Medical Director of Patient Safety at UPMC, Past President at Society for Simulation in Healthcare, Dr. KT Waxman, Clinical Professor & Director at UC San Francisco, Director at the California Simulation Alliance and Dr. Pam Boyers, Associate Vice Chancellor Clinical Simulation at iEXCEL at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), will consider the opportunities and challenges of supporting the call to develop a NPSB. Do we support it, and if so, what do we need to do to help make it happen?

Learning Objectives:
  1. Introduce the concept of a National Patient Safety Board, similar to the National Transportation Safety Board.
  2. Reflect on the impacts COVID19 has had on clinical institutions and the challenges of medical error which continue to occur at unacceptable levels.
  3. Debate the need to encourage healthcare simulation champions, institutions, organizations and vendors to support a new NPSB.
(1:15PM) Breakout Session C1: Using Medical Simulation to Intentionally Probe Healthcare Systems: What’s It All About? (CE/CME)
Presented by: AnneMarie Monachino, DNP, RN, CPN, CHSE-A, NPD-BC, Senior Simulation Educator, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Time: 1:15PM - 2:15PM PDT
Nursing CE Certificate: 1 Contact Hour
Continuing Medical Education Certificate: 1 Contact Hour; Physician’s Recognition Award Category 1 Certificate for Physicians.

Abstract: Simulation is a tool that is often used for healthcare training and education. In addition to the clinical application, simulation can serve as a vehicle for the evaluation of system-based processes. System-focused simulation, also referred to as process-oriented simulation, can be accomplished through Simulation-Based Clinical Systems Testing (SbCST), and Simulation-based Hospital Design Testing (SbHDT).
System-focused simulations use systems engineering, human factors, and risk management principles to explore and achieve excellent clinical care, enhanced patient safety, and improved outcome metrics across a healthcare system. SbCST is conducted in situ to evaluate clinical system and care processes prior to occupancy to mitigate risks whereas SbHDT simulations are conducted in the pre-construction phase of design development to evaluate the built environment to improve safety and optimize efficiency. 
There are many benefits to system-focused simulation such as preventing harm, increasing effectiveness, improving efficiency, supporting safety, streamlining processes, decreasing errors, and controlling costs. In order to integrate systems-focused simulations into a program, it is necessary to overcome barriers and challenges: support from senior executives, buy-in of stakeholders, avoiding a disruption to patient care during in-situ sessions, availability of equipment, and the intensity of resources. 
This presentation will discuss how and why to use system-focused simulations, explore the barriers and facilitators impacting teams interested in this format, and describe a reporting structure used by a Simulation Center that has achieved accreditation in Systems Integration by the Society of Simulation in Healthcare (SSH). In addition, participants will be shown examples of systems-focused simulations and their findings and outcomes, as well as the impact on patients and healthcare providers.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Define the intent of systems-focused simulations including Simulation-Based Clinical Systems Testing and Simulation-Based Hospital Design Testing with particular reference to their role in improving clinical practice and patient safety.
  2. Describe the benefits and challenges to designing and integrating systems-focused simulations into a simulation program.
  3. Identify an outcome reporting system strategy to share findings with stakeholders.

Abstract: Health inequity has been well documented as a public health issue however it has recently garnered increased attention due to the health disparities brought to light during the COVID-19 pandemic. An important strategy for addressing health disparities and bias is to start with educating our current and future healthcare providers. Although health equity is a common theme that institutions strive to achieve , many educators have difficulty finding meaningful teaching strategies and activities to address the subject. Through the use of simulation, learners can practice a variety of scenarios such as providing care to diverse patients to managing situations where learners witness racism in the clinical setting.  Teaching strategies including creating simulation experiences that can promote cultural humility are included in the presentation. Incorporating themes such as low socioeconomic status, LGTBQ identity issue will allow learners to reflect on their own bias, lived experiences, and negative stereotypes. This presentation will discuss how to create an inclusive learning environment, provide examples of simulation activities that can promote cultural humility, and describe strategies for mitigating bias.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Discuss the effects of racial disparities and implicit bias in health care.
  2. Identify teaching strategies for incorporating implicit bias education into simulation based education curricula.
  3. Discuss methods for creating an inclusive learning environment

(3:30PM) Breakout Session E1: Non-Profits Supporting Patient Safety
Two Introductions to Important Non-profit Organizations Supporting Patient Safety:

Introduction 1: The Patient Safety Movement Foundation

Presented by:
Ariana Longley, MPH, Chief Operating Officer, Patient Safety Movement Foundation
Time: 3:30PM - 3:45PM PDT
Nursing CE Certificate: N/A

Abstract: Learn more about the Patient Safety Movement Foundation! It's easy to say "safety is not my job" and point to someone else to handle safety concerns. The reality is safety is part of all of our jobs if we work in healthcare as well as a role that we can step into as a patient seeking care ourselves, or advocating for a loved one. Ariana Longley will speak about the importance of exploring how you can contribute to a safer environment in which health workers operate and patients are cared for. 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Learn more about the Patient Safety Movement Foundation.
  2. Interpret the role individuals play in improving patient safety and identify opportunities to improve safety as an individual.
  3. Differentiate between individual and organizational actions that can be taken to improve patient safety.


Introduction 2: The National Patient Safety Board Advocacy Coalition

Presented by: Karen Wolk Feinstein, PhD, President and CEO, Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative and the Jewish Healthcare Foundation
Time: 3:45PM - 4PM PDT
Nursing CE Certificate: N/A
Abstract: This presentation will provide an overview of the vision for a proposed NPSB and highlight how this agency would advance healthcare simulation technology in support of improving patient safety and reducing medical errors at a national scale.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its related public health crisis has demonstrated a pressing need to improve safety in our health system, especially in the ways it has exacerbated an already-high medical error rate, with an estimated 250,000 deaths a year in the U.S. due to preventable medical error prior to the pandemic. The lack of a coordinated and systemic answer to improving safety in health care points to the need for the U.S. federal government to establish an apolitical, independent, and centralized capability to protect patients and healthcare workers–one that delivers rapid solutions to safety threats and spurs adoption of new innovations in technology. Looking to the gains that the transportation industry has made with their safety record, due in part to the efforts of their National Transportation Safety Board, we believe that a similar model could be applied to the healthcare industry. This proposed independent federal agency, the National Patient Safety Board (NPSB), would support agencies in monitoring and anticipating adverse events using artificial intelligence, conduct studies, create recommendations and solutions to prevent medical error, and leverage existing systems to bring key learnings into practice.

A critical element to the future of patient safety lies in the vast potential to tap into new and existing technologies. The gains made over the past two decades in health information technology and analytical tools provide us with new pathways to markedly support healthcare workers with a modernized 21st century approach. This agency would focus on exploring and accelerating the adoption and implementation of existing and new technologies that would lead to significant improvements in patient safety across all healthcare settings. Leveraging and proliferating the use of healthcare simulation, which ensures high-quality education and training for healthcare professionals to master cognitive, technical, and behavioral skill sets through technologically advanced and crafted experiences, can be an effective method to improve patient safety. This model of experiential learning provides precise and intentional learning environments to better equip the healthcare workforce of the future with the confidence and skills to practice to the best of their ability.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Describe the severity of medical error and patient safety issues and how healthcare simulation can contribute to improved patient safety.
  2. Discuss the effort to establish a National Patient Safety Board.
  3. Recognize the alignment of the healthcare simulation industry to a National Patient Safety Board

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share access to this event with others from my institution?
Each enrollment is limited to the person who created it, and any downloadable certificates will only be available in the name of the person who purchased access. However, the purchaser is welcome to invite others within their immediate team to join them in watching the webinar presentation together at the same time on one screen.
Do sessions provide Continuing Education or Continuing Medical Education contact hours?
CEs: Currently six of the symposium sessions do provide Contact Hour credit from the California Board of Registered Nurses Continuing Education Provider License #17566, after you complete the video presentation and the required feedback survey. Other sessions, like simulation program operations content not directly related to patient outcomes or vendor product demos, do not meet the CA BRN requirements and are therefore not eligible for CE certificates.

CMEs: Three session activities marked above have been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of Current Concepts Institute and HealthySimulation.com. The Current Concepts Institute is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The 3 sessions provide for a Physician’s Recognition Award Category 1 Certificate for Physicians.
What technology do I need to watch webinars?
Usually just an up-to-date web browser such as Google Chrome and a strong internet connection is all that is required. However, some users may need an up-to-date Zoom client to watch live presentations. Presenters will need the latest Zoom Client and their presentation display software.
