Room of Errors - Simulation Training for Nursing Education and Increased Patient Safety According to JCI Standards

One of the fundamental rights of every patient and employee is the right to safety. During the treatment and care of patients in any hospital facility, mistakes are possible that can affect the health and condition of patients. Activities based on live simulations are effective tools for developing situational awareness and improving patient safety training in healthcare facilities. The purpose of this research is insight into the readiness of the staff to perceive possible irregularities of medical and non-medical nature and improvement of the perception of the medical staff during the treatment and care of patients. A special room has been prepared - a replica of a hospital room, equipped with equipment, materials and phantoms that replace a patient. Several different “scenarios” have been prepared, intended for different categories of medical personnel depending on their working positions. The results show where the weak points of certain employees are and in which field of work they need to improve their skills. An analysis is made with multiple parameters set (experience, education, age, department) and individual and group results are viewed. Modern healthcare requires identifying, ranking, and prioritizing all the risks faced by hospitals, finding weak points, and motivating employees to continuously improve their work skills and advance their knowledge.
