Medical Simulation Corporation and LifeWings® Partners Team Up to Provide In-Situ Simulation Team Training
DENVER, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Simulation Corporation (MSC) has been chosen by LifeWings Partners to provide real-time simulation training as part of the LifeWings Patient Safety Improvement Program. The LifeWings team training program helps healthcare organizations adopt and sustain a culture of safety for better patient and financial outcomes, based on lessons learned in high-reliability industries such as aviation.
"MSC is proud to partner with LifeWings to deliver simulation-based team training to reduce patient-harming medical errors and improve safety and quality," says Bill Younkes, MSC President and CEO. "MSC's realistic simulation training services, combined with LifeWings' extensive experience in working with teams in high-risk situations, creates a highly effective learning environment resulting in world class skills training and performance improvement."
For the past year, MSC has provided scenario development services and in-situ simulation facilitated by MSC educators for LifeWings' training programs in acute care hospitals. The simulations reinforced risk assessment observations made by the LifeWings' instructors, highlighting the need to enhance teamwork skills and implement standardized protocols for improved patient safety and quality. A debrief followed each simulation event, during which participants reviewed team communication and decision-making during the scenario in order to quickly identify opportunities for improvement.
During a recent simulation session at a hospital in the southeastern U.S., participants commented on the realism that simulations brought to the training experience.
"When the simulation is done in the actual workplace (in-situ), most artificiality is removed and real-world learning takes place," says Steve Montague, VP of Quality, LifeWings Partners. "We are pleased to partner with MSC, the leader in simulation training of healthcare professionals, to enhance our team training programs."
