“Nurses have a lot of answers. We're problem solvers. We're innovators,” says Dr. Sarah Szanton, who is a case in point for using her experience doing home visits as a nurse practitioner to help pioneer an innovative model of elder care called CAPABLE. It's a four-month long program in which a nurse, occupational therapist and handy worker address difficulties an older adult may have in daily living as well as the safety issues in their home so they are able to age in place while achieving the best possible health status and quality of life. So far, it has served 10,000 people in twenty-three states, and efforts are underway to scale the model as broadly as possible to meet the needs of the country's burgeoning senior population. “If the CAPABLE program were a drug, it would be a blockbuster. It cuts disability in half and saves seven times what it costs,” she explains. As you'll learn in this informative conversation with our new Raise the Line host Caleb Furnas, Dr. Szanton is in a position to shape healthcare delivery far beyond elder care in her role as dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. Tune in to learn about a community healthcare model being developed based on work in Costa Rica, and how the school deploys simulation technologies to hone difficult skills and develop empathy for both patients and fellow providers.Mentioned in this episode: Johns Hopkins School of NursingCAPABLE

Amy Park and Mark Hoffman at the mic to shed light on simulation in gynecologic surgery. --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Lerner is an Associate Professor at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. She is on the Editorial Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and she is an associate editor for Simulation in Healthcare Journal. The episode begins with Dr. Lerner describes her journey and training regarding simulation in gynecologic surgery, including her participation in the Center for Medical Simulation at Harvard and involvement in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Simulations Working Group, which are both involved in validating and advancing the use of simulation in healthcare. During this time, Dr. Lerner provides a framework for developing a simulation center at an institution, which begins with needs assessment and defining learning objectives. She also emphasizes the financial costs for simulation, as well as concern for institutions without adequate resources for simulation. She then defines 3 terms regarding fidelity: cost, technology, and actual fidelity. For example, Dr. Lerner has built her own mobile simulation lab, which she describes as a high-fidelity, low-cost initiative. The physicians then discuss the role of individualized learning plans in regard to simulation. Dr. Lerner references the book, “Make It Stick,” to emphasize the importance of tailoring training to the learning strategy of the learner. She also encourages listeners to acknowledge the risk of moral injury and to combat it by acknowledging the difficulty that may come with developing competency in simulation. Lastly, she describes how listeners should leverage resources and time in order to promote simulation at individual institutions. The episode ends with the group recognizing the benefits of simulation, as well as its relation to the field of Quality and Safety. While simulation in obstetrics is well-studied, its role in the field of gynecology has lagged due to lack of financial incentives. To address this, Dr. Lerner urges listeners to take advantage of surgical simulation in a safe environment prior to operating in the OR. During this discussion, Dr. Lerner expresses the importance of trainees to gain exposure to simulation early on and to develop an “education portfolio” over the period of residency. In order to help continue the information learned through simulation, it is important to “teach the teacher, train the trainer, and disseminate that knowledge.” Ultimately, Dr. Lerner advocates for the endless opportunity that simulation brings to the field of gynecology surgery. --- RESOURCES ACOG simulation consortium: https://www.acog.org/education-and-events/simulations/about “Make it Stick” by Henry L Roediger III, Mark A McDaniel, Peter Brown EMIGS Assessment: https://www.abog.org/specialty-certification/surgical-skills-program-standard/essentials-in-minimally-invasive-gynecologic-surgery-emig

“It's almost this idea or analogy of having a garden, and maybe when you were in college that garden was pretty robust or maybe it looked like a greenhouse or what have you. I think of this analogy, now that I think about it, because I actually used to run a greenhouse when I was in college. The flip side, though, is that once they become a resident, maybe it's more like an air plant or a cactus. You know, it's just one single thing that they can focus on, they can take care of, they can nurture. And maybe when they become an attending, it can grow again to a whole garden.” -Dr. Roy Phitayakorn MD In today's episode, Jill talks with Endocrine and General Surgeon and Associate Professor of Surgery, Dr. Roy Phitayakorn. But this conversation isn't about his medical career. It's about Dr. Phitayakorn's interesting hobby. He buys interesting objects and fixes them up to their former glory. Sometimes these are just things that he likes or sometimes they remind him of his childhood or sometimes he is fulfilling a bigger purpose of being a caretaker and preserving an item for its future owner. No matter what, it also fulfills a big purpose in his life.

In this episode, we look at medical education with two representatives from Pikes Peak Community College (PPCC)—Lisa James, Executive Director of PPCC's Foundation, and Amber Lippincott, Associate Dean of Nursing. Their discussion explores health care trends that are influencing student programs in nursing and other allied health professional fields. In particular, they highlight simulation technology to teach students evidence-based practices, and the benefits of using an advanced birthing simulation mannequins funded by a grant from the COPIC Medical Foundation. This allows students to develop essential clinical skills and practice labor/delivery scenarios in an environment that allows them to learn from their mistakes and develop teamwork, communication, and decision-making skills. Podcast Email:  wnlpodcast@copic.com

Topics discussed in this episode include:Dr. Johnson’s introduction into the speech-language field, which was itself experiential, based on mentoring that stemmed from the 1970 Kent State shootings, his undergraduate college.A discussion followed of how he and the field embraced this experiential approach when he first went into academic leadership at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.  His department partnered with Case Western Reserve University to design a two-year clinical fellowship for its graduate students to develop strong competency in adult medical speech pathology. He also discussed how, before taking his graduate degrees, he worked in a public elementary school where he saw how speech pathology could interfere with learning, and how he took that with him into his later work with adults.Now, as Provost at MGHIHP, Dr. Johnson oversees programs with about 1600 students at all levels, including nursing - the first school to prepare nurse practitioners in the country – and now includes a variety of Certificates, Masters, and PhD programs.In all of these programs, Dr. Johnson emphasizes the comprehensive integration of experience, and not just the “nice option” that is “added on to undergraduate experiences” in some universities. In this way, he points out that while many citizens know about this training superficially from television, the details of a medical education in each program are the key to its success.A currently relevant conversation then developed on how Covid19 caused the shut-down of March 9th, 2020, prompting an rapid expansion of tele-health operations. Developing these experiences includes the hiring of actors to play the roles of patients, and that allows the opportunity to specifically design certain experiences with patients who may be angry or one who interrupt all the time et cettera.  While the use of actors as “standardized patients” has been around for a while, MGHIHP has expanded their use to other relevant patient scenarios, such as the need for the use of an interpreter where the mother of the child does not speak English.In conversation with the interviewer (a practicing speech pathologist herself), the point emerged that not only can we not just wait until the pandemic lifts, but that we must take the forced virtual learning as driving the development of new teaching modalities. One of them may be MGHIHP’s recent work with the Center for Medical Simulation that gives their students a head-start on what will be experienced at a clinical placement. That not only improves the student experience, but it reduces somewhat the instructional and management burden on the hospital or other entity that is supervising the student.Dr. Johnson emphasized the “light bulb” that comes on when the student has a good clinical experience, and he points out that when noticed by the supervisor, it often results in a job offer after graduation.  This benefit of experiential education is to both parties, and that is something that happens in experiential education broadly.  We podcasters agree that this conclusion makes MGHIHP worthy of study in general, beyond its role in the medical field.Resources Discussed in this Episode:MGH Institute of Health ProfessionsHarvard Center for Medical SimulationKent State ShootingsMusic Credits: C’est La Vie by Derek Clegg

Amelia Rudolph is the founding Creative Director of Bandaloop, a vertical dance company founded in 1991. Bandaloop performs aerial dances which shift the plane of the dance floor vertically and create a sense of awe and wonder, everywhere from the edge of cliffs in the Sierra Nevada to the heights of New York skyscrapers. Today she joins Jenny to talk about managing fear in moments where we're operating at the edge of or beyond our comfort zones, and how to maintain a sense of connection with others in this work. What's required systematically from leaders and team members to ensure safety in situations that would be dangerous without effective protocols and procedures? How do we put anchors and checks in place to allow our teams to do their work without harm? We'll examine these questions, as well as learn how naming your discomfort out loud can connect you with your team members and with the people you're caring for, and how to stay in the moment and tuned to our colleagues even through layers of PPE.

The crew sits down with their very first guest Chris Miller and discuss the state of healthcare education. Chris Miller has over 40 years of patient centric pre-hospital emergency medical services. He is currently the Director of operations for the University of California Riverside School of Medicine's Center for Medical Simulation and Research.

Medical Simulation is a powerful model for pediatric education. This type of experiential training is used to teach various skills including stressful medical tasks like resuscitation, without putting patients at risk. In order to better understand the behavior of healthcare providers during these situations, researchers have started to use eye-tracking technology. In this episode, we meet Early Career Investigator, Michael Wagner from the Medical University of Vienna, who during a fellowship at the Yale University, carried out a simulation-based study using eye-tracking glasses to explore the gaze behavior and subjective experience of care-givers during a neonatal resuscitation to assess the usability of this technology for training.

SAYING GOODBYE TO DAN: In a bittersweet finale to the DJ Simulationistas podcast, Janice leads Dan through the final simulation experience of his career. But wait! Dan will return next week as we bring you the next version of the Center for Medical Simulation flagship podcast. Enjoy!

Dr. Jack Pottle, Chief Medical Officer of Oxford Medical Simulation (OMS), a multi-award-winning virtual reality simulation company dedicated to optimizing patient care through enhanced healthcare education with VR headsets and OMS software, discusses the company and its latest technology presented at the 2019 American College of Emergency Physicians conference.

I'D READ ABOUT IT: Dr. Paul Quigley, Emergency Medicine specialist from Wellington, New Zealand joins Mary Fey from the Center for Medical Simulation to discuss turning knowledge from articles into clinical praxis, identifying with learner's state of mind, and being aware of the mindset you bring into the debriefing room. Enjoy!

Are you a good communicator? Can you identify the skills of optimal communication? Might you sometimes respond to emotion with facts? Communication is perhaps the most important thing we do in healthcare, let alone in life. And to support our patients in understanding their ill health and their healthcare needs requires a high level of human connection for communication to be optimal. So let me introduce you to Dr Laura Rock, an American intensivist, who reminds us on this podcast that (1) communication skills are learnable, (2) there are benefits in understanding our patients emotionally, (3) we can help patients greatly if we don’t try to reassure with facts when we hear emotions in the words they use, and (4) a focus on transparency, respect and curiosity can help us all to understand each other better; all of which seem likely to help us in our roles in the Intensive Care Unit. Laura is a Pulmonologist, Intensivist and Director of Communication and Teamwork for Critical Care at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School, Faculty for the Center for Medical Simulation and a VitalTalk instructor. Laura studies and teaches the role of emotion in critical conversations, debriefing, feedback, and interprofessional conflict negotiation. She thinks we can change the world one conversation at a time, when we truly listen, and when we allow for creative and collaborative possibilities. When not teaching or seeing patients in the ICU, Laura loves to spend time with her family and to hike, ski, mountain bike, surf and sing. In this episode you will hear Laura speaking about many aspects of communication, also including: How she got into critical care and then became focused on communication What good communicators do to make human connection How micro-encounters and casual interactions are all part of building trust The GIVE acronym she suggests for responding to people’s emotions (Get there is emotion, Identify the emotion, Validate the feelings, Explore to understand) Some examples of how to respond to what sound like comments with emotions Some thoughts on what to do when the person is angry How we should guess at people’s emotions, not tell them what they are feeling Her thoughts on touch including hugs How the universality of communication skills can help us with friends and family too Being specific when helping debrief a team The teaching she does on ward rounds How most poor communication interactions can be helped by saying sorry Her self care including her approach to exercise, nature, guitar-playing, sleep and balance The gratitude she feels for having recently spent a lot of time with her dying mother. Laura is kind, caring, astute, thoughtful and the sort of listener and communicator I would have liked to have been involved in the care of my father when he was dying, something we talk about towards the end of the episode. This one is really worth listening to, no matter how good you think your communication skills are. Please listen to and learn from Dr Laura Rock.

Pediatric Grand Rounds September 19, 2018 Jenny Rudolph, PhD Assistant Clinical Professor of Anaesthesia at Harvard Medical School and is the Executive Director at the Center for Medical Simulation

Jenny Rudolph interviews Victoria Brazil: Translational Simulation Since the start of the modern simulation era, many in the healthcare simulation community have taken a “Field of Dreams” approach to our simulation efforts, believing, like the character Ray Kinsella in the movie of the same name, that we “If we build it, they will come.” Often however, “buy-in” to simulation programs is just as difficult as getting real people to come to a baseball diamond in the middle of an Iowa cornfield. Simulation increasingly competes with a variety of other healthcare education, quality, and safety efforts for resources. In this podcast, Jenny Rudolph talks with Victoria Brazil talk about Victoria’s alternate approach to positioning simulation in healthcare. Rather than creating simulation programs and then hoping people will come, instead, she argues, we need to solve real clinical problems, using goals co-created with the colleagues we aim to serve. This work focuses on clinical impact and culture change via what she calls “translational simulation. Translational simulation focuses our attention on identifying and addressing high yield problems at the “coal face” of clinical care. The focus is on simulation interventions that stretch outcomes beyond clinical and teamwork skills to improving clinical benchmarks, clinical outcomes and the patient journey. Is this the same age-old exhortation to focus on patient quality and safety or something different? Join the Center for Medical Simulation and Simulcast as we explore Victoria’s most recent publication on translational simulation and links to work by Bill McGaghie, and other exemplary work in the field. Victoria Brazil is an emergency physician and host of Simulcast, director of the Gold Coast Simulation Service in Queensland Australia, and Professor at Bond University Medical School.   Jenny Rudolph is an organizational behavior scholar, executive director of the Center for Medical Simulation in Boston, and an Assistant Professor of Anaesthesia at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.   PODCAST LINK The links and articles below provide detail on a number of the studies and processes Jenny and Victoria discuss in the podcast.

The Orlando Gaming community continues to grow and it's events like the Mega Health Jam that help to make it happen. April 12th - April 15th will welcome the first annual Mega Health Jam to Orlando. The brainchild of Medspeaks Kelli Murray and the Orlando Game Space' Kunal Patel the event will bridge and unite our thriving communities of Health Care and Technology in an effort to create wellness and health care technologies ALA game jam style. Rather than write about it we have set aside episode 12 of This is Orlando to fill you in and create awareness. Here are the main points of interest;Thursday night April 12th and the Cinedome inside of the Orlando Science Center we kick off with a night of chats, networking and fellowship. Get to know the players involved, grab a bite and a drink and jump the gun to start crafting pitches for the jam. Friday night we move over to the Guidewell Center at Lake Nona, a state of the art co working lab that houses a good portion of those Orlandoans who work in Medical Simulation. Friday night is pitch night and will decide the focus of the projects that will take place over the next 48 hours. Come prepared with your thoughts and be sure to link to the web site for categories and ideas to get your brain turning in the right direction. Sat - Sun we develop and mingle with the many sponsors who will be available at booths throughout to talk about their connection to the simulation and technology world. Booth space is still available and you can reserve your space by visiting the web site. What excites me the most about this event is the opportunity our gaming community has to show the city and the world what we are capable of doing with gaming technology. It seems as if we fight every day for respectability among the tech community and little do they know how much brilliance abounds. This event is great for students and recent graduates who want to network, add to their portfolios or create new skills. Tech business owners who have a service or product they want known. Health care providers interested in new technologies to benefit their staff and patients. Wellness coaches and advocates and anyone who wants to learn more about where health care is headed and how technology can change our daily lives in a positive way. OK, that's enough, listen to the podcast to get the full picture. If you can't see how this brings a splash of color to our local Orlando picture then give me a ring or drop me a note so we can discuss. We talk a lot about bringing and providing content to our local scene and I applaud Kelli and Kunal for actually taking the time and making the effort to actually do something for the benefit of us all. BTW - Thanks again to my Man Carlos for setting all of this up and making it happen. Be sure to check out his page for information on his CD releases and more. P.S.

In this week's episode of DJ Simulationistas, Dan & Janice examine some of the pervasive myths that they have encountered in their time in the world of simulation, and try to figure out which ones have some truth and which ones are complete nonsense. If you're at IMSH 2018 in Los Angeles this week, visit Dan and Janice at the Center for Medical Simulation booth, and watch Dan's interview of plenary speaker Jamie Hyneman from "Mythbusters" on Sunday, January 14th, from 3:00-4:30 PM at the LA Convention Center!

At the time of this writing, there have been 378 mass shootings in America this year alone. By the time this podcast is published, that number is likely to have increased. There have been 555 in the last 514 days, and three of the ten deadliest mass shootings in American history have occurred in the past 18 months.  At press conferences scheduled in the wake of so many of these events, with a nation seeking answers, the one answer that often surfaces is clear and unwavering: this is a mental health issue at the highest level, and to stop these shootings, something must be done to address mental illness in America. When the lights fade away, however, and the speakers step off of the stage, it seems that the national conversation ends. Until the next tragedy. On this episode of The Scientific Method, we are joined by PNWU Executive Director of Medical Simulation, Lisa Munoz. On October 1, 2017, Lisa saw those statistics come to life as she stood in a crowd of over 20,000 concert-goers when shots rang out over Las Vegas.  What is the current state of mental health in America? Is mental illness truly to blame for these all-too-common tragedies? And, if these tragedies are viewed as society's open-door to discussing mental illness, how does that influence the estimated 44 million Americans who will suffer from some form of mental illness each year?

Safety in simulation – the harms involved in trying to improve patient safety!    Many healthcare simulation programs are aimed at improving patient safety, and yet these programs also carry their own safety risks – to participants, and to the institutions and patients whose safety we are trying to improve.  Ann Mullen joined us in this episode of Simulcast to discuss the Foundation for Simulation Safety – an initiative that she and Dan Raemer from Center for Medical Simulation in Boston have developed.  Ann is the Simulation Center program manager at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Massachusetts, and a nurse by clinical background.  We discussed the categories of risks inherent in simulation – learner psychological and physical safety, and patient and institutional risks from fake medications, or unintended triggering of hospital responses to simulation activities. Stu Marshall and Cate McIntosh authored a chapter on this topic1 in the Nestel et al textbook recently reviewed on Simulcast.  The Foundation website provides details of incidents, and access to labels designed to prevent these errors. Ann and Dan are also trying to use social media to promote this cause and to facilitate sharing stories of adverse events in sim and best practices in preventing them. Check out #keepsimsafe on Instagram and Twitter  We discussed how perhaps we needed a reporting system for these incidents, and looked at the role of safety criteria in accreditation standards.     Thanks to Ann for talking to us about an important topic.  Vic      Marshall, S. and McIntosh, C.

In the second of our series with Advances in Simulation, we consider Ryan Brydges 2016 editorial - From simulation research to education policy: how much evidence is enough?   In this article he considers the question - What level of evidence is required for translation of healthcare simulation research to policy? or institutional practice ?  Ryan uses the specific example of recent changes to nursing training in the USA as a result of a large simulation study. The editorial considers issues of methodology and ‘tipping points’, and comes from the perspective of a researcher who has authored a number of large scale systematic reviews in healthcare simulation   The study discussed is the NCSBN National Simulation Study: a longitudinal, randomized, controlled study replacing clinical hours with simulation in prelicensure nursing education. By Hayden JK, Smiley RA, Alexander M, Kardong-Edgren S, Jeffries PR in the Journal of Nursing Regulation. 2014;5(2):S3–S40.  In a short period of time this study has led to large scale changes in nursing education whereby up to 50 % of clinical hours in undergraduate nursing training can be replaced by simulation. Note this has also brought with it some clarity in standards around simulation within those programs.  Simulcast was fortunate to have Ryan as our guest author of the editorial, together with Suzan Kardong Edgren, one of the authors of the nursing simulation study, as well as Mary Fey fromm Center for Medical Simulation in Boston as a discussant.  Ryan Brydges (@rbrydges) is a health professions educator from Toronto Canada, and Senior Editor at Advances.  He’s the professor in technology enabled education at St Michaels’s hospital/ University of Toronto, and the research directors at the simulation centre there. He’s been involved in systematic reviews and meta-analysis on large landmark studies in sim and technology enabled learning – research gate profile  Mary Fey is the Associate Director of the Simulation Educator Training program (IMS) within the Centre for Medical Simulation in Boston. She has a nursing and academic background, with a PhD University of Maryland in Baltimore.   Suzan "Suzie" Kardong-Edgren is a professor and director of the RISE Center at the School of Nursing and Health Sciences at Robert Morris University.   The podcast offers a deep dive into the impact of simulation research and the politics of policy and change. We discussed contemporary influences on education more broadly, such as the Carnegie Foundation, and other educational policy changes such as the Competency by Design initiative in Canadian medical training.  However the winner on the day was the discussion itself – a wonderful example of how those with different perspectives – clinical, research, practice and education – can have robust and respectful conversations.   Thanks to our guests and to Advances for another great collaborative effort    Victoria

In this episode, Nicole Kupchik, MN, RN, interviews Dr. Chuck Pozner, who is Medical Director at the STRATUS Center for Medical Simulation at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Dr. Pozner shares how his team has used mock codes to identity and change potentially lifesaving processes – and how a resuscitation team is more similar to a symphony orchestra than you might think.

Learning to be an effective simulation educator is a challenge. Education theory and practice, technical aspects and leadership are just some of the knowledge and skills involved.  In this episode of Simulcast we were joined by Demian Szyld, (pronounced ‘shield’…….. “like the weapon” he told me).  Demian (@demianszyld)  is the Senior Director of the Institute for Medical Simulation at CMS in Boston, where he works with previous Simulcast guests Jenny Rudolph and Walter Eppich.  He is involved in many aspects of simulation, including  as Chair of the Formal Training programs Affinity Group with the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, so we thought he’d offer some great insights into this question of how to train to be an effective simulation educator.  Demian is also a simulation podcaster – in Spanish. Check out Simulacion de Sur a Norte (Simulation from South to North)   So we structured our discussion around 2 case studies  Case study one  An experienced ED nurse has been given some protected time to ‘do sim’. He doesn’t have much formal education background, but is into ‘tech and toys’ and has helped run sims in the past at his previous job. He’s enthusiastic, and has a couple of docs in the department keen too. Keen to learn more so he can run the sims better and considering is doing a formal course  Where should he start?  We discussed the importance of making friends – locally and across simulation networks - and getting an idea of the knowledge and skills required. Going to conferences like IMSH (in Los Angeles next year), the Australasian Simulation Congress, SESAM and the INACSL (International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning) conference – and joining workshops and networking.  Online resources like NHET Sim and practically focused websites like HealthySimulation.com and even You tube can be great resources. SSIH now runs formal certification programs.     Case study 2  An anaesthetic trainee is nearing the end of her clinical training, and wants to make sim a big part of her career, and is prepared to invest time and money in gaining qualifications. She may have opportunity to be deputy sim director of her local sim program in a year or so.  What options does she have?  There are many options for Masters programs and simulation Fellowships. Demian reinforced just how important it is to be a great educator to be an effective simulation leader. He strongly supports formal structured training, and described some the work of his group in looking at the common domains of practice of formal programs.  We were grateful Demian could spare the time to chat and would welcome other suggestions and resources in the comments.   vb 

 In this episode we discuss psychological safety in simulation.  Harvard professor Jenny Rudolph, PhD joined us for the discussion, taking time out form her busy schedule as the Director of the Center for Medical Simulation in Boston.  We considered this all too familiar case study……  You’re facilitating a sim session in your ED. The junior docs and the nurses arrive,  a few straggle in late. You do a nice RTR (Round the room) but everyone seems a bit anxious and they are shifting in their seats. You really want them to relax.   “You shouldn’t be anxious guys, this is what you do every day”.   They look more worried.   “I mean these will be sick patients, but this is the place to stuff up, rather than with a real patient”.   One of the docs looks like he might vomit.   “and remember what happens here, stays here, no you tube videos from what we are recording” - as you attempt to lighten the mood. “Its not like this is a test, we really just want to make sure you’re ok to be on nights on your own……”   “so relax….”   Two of the participants dash off for a toilet break before you start.    The podcast gave us a wonderful opportunity to delve deeper into the philosophy behind Jenny et al’s excellent article on Establishing a Safe Container for Learning in Simulation.   Most of our learners are pretty apprehensive about participating in sim. As Jenny explained to us – some people ‘come to life’ on stage with an audience, but most of us feel a sense of psychological threat if we are doing things in front of others and perceive this as evaluative i.e. a test of some sort. We may not know how an individual will be predisposed to respond, but as facilitators we can help everyone feel more psychologically safe.   We can do this through some practical steps - clarifying expectations, discussing confidentiality, and telling stories/ sharing our own fears and vulnerabilities. Establishing the fiction contract is important - as described in the ‘safe container’ paper, and building on work by Peter Dieckmann here.  (beware -  a deep dive into theory!)  The fundamental mindsets (of learner and facilitator behind these steps need to be understood.   Jenny described some key concepts in the area, starting with helping to shift our learners to a ‘growth mindset’ (see Carol Dweck’s TeD talk here) in response to the challenge of a simulation activity.  The idea of positive regard is crucial. We have to truly respect our learners and their efforts, and we need to demonstrate that. Well intentioned words suggesting this respect can be easily undone with ‘guess what I’m thinking’ questions that might make learners feel manipulated or unfairly judged.    So how do we know if we have achieved psychological safety for our sim participants?   Its complex.  Experts like Amy Edmonson (another TeD talk to watch) suggests that seeing supportive responses when one puts oneself on the line, such as by asking a question, seeking feedback, reporting a mistake, or proposing a new idea.  Sounds like our aspirations for our work teams….?  Again, simulation practice parallels our real world healthcare practice.  Thanks again to Jenny Rudolph for an illuminating podcast.

Medical Sciences students at Ledford HS are training in the DCCC Mobile Medical Simulation Lab. Students simulate medical situations, view simulation videos, learn health sciences careers/programs at DCCC, and teachers critique their simulation responses.

During the CRICO Surgical Summit in Boston, presenters and attendees explored the complexity of disclosure and apology. Panelist Philip Murray shared his perspective from 30 years as an active trial lawyer, and explained his support for open disclosure of adverse events—with some caveats.

A Q and A with Jack Mc Carthy, president of Harvard's self-insurance medical malpractice company about guidelines, simulators, and the future of patient safety.

Guest: Steve Dawson, MD Host: Bruce Japsen Training doctors and other health care providers has come a long way from the decades old practice of using cadavers. It's called medical simulation, which uses advances in technology to create life-like dummies that could improve medical care and reduce errors. Dr. Steve Dawson, chair of Advanced Initiatives in Medical Simulation tells host Bruce Japsen about the health care field's move toward medical simulation.
