Simulation-based training in emergency management.
Purpose of Webinar:
Simulation-based training has been used to increase the emergency preparedness of healthcare facilities in ambulatory settings. Using clinical scenarios to create a representation of a “real world” emergency encourages the application and development of clinical skills and team collaboration through deliberate practice. It both assesses the organization’s emergency action plan and tests the team’s readiness to respond to a “real” emergency. This webinar focuses on the development of an emergency and disaster preparedness plan and the creation of simulation-based drills to enhance teamwork, critical thinking and confidence.
