Description
Translational simulation employs diverse simulation techniques for healthcare improvement. The approach is twofold - exploring team and system performance in complex healthcare environments and testing planned changes in physical space or clinical processes. Participants in this program will learn to design and deliver translational simulation programs focused on improving system performance and apply these techniques to their local context.
Improving healthcare performance requires exploring healthcare environments and the people working in them and opportunities to test planned changes prior to real-world implementation. In this subject, participants will learn to apply translational simulation approaches to diverse healthcare challenges – designing healthcare spaces and processes, building teams and shaping culture, and delivering safer care. Participants will evaluate simulation modalities and delivery options in designing translational simulation programs and facilitate learning conversations that support performance improvement. This subject is developed in collaboration with the Translational Simulation Collaborative, a Bond University Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine research centre, and collaborators from Mater Education and Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service.
Subject details
