6. Safety Interventions…… Policy Education Procedure Modifications – structural and forcing functions

7. Proven Policy Interventions Hand Washing Full Barrier Precautions Chlorhexidine Avoiding Femoral Site Removing Unnecessary Catheters

9. How to Teach Procedures? • Classic Mentoring: Watch Someone, try it on a patient • Instructional Videos • Simulation • Animal Models

10. Mentoring Model Dependent on Individual Variation Dependent on Clinical Opportunity High Risk Learning

11. Impact of Videos on Procedural Training • 210 Medical Residents • NEJM Videos on Arterial Catheter & Central Line Placement • Pre-test, procedure, post-test

12. Improving Residents’ Knowledge of Medical Procedures Using a Video-Based Curriculum: A Randomized Trial Baseline scores on knowledge tests low: • 58 % arterial lines • 62 % central lines

13. Improving Residents’ Knowledge of Medical Procedures Using a Video-Based Curriculum: A Randomized Trial Small but significant increase with videos: • 58 % arterial lines  70% (p<0.0001) • 62 % central lines  66% (p=0.01)

14. A Definition of Simulation Healthcare simulation is an educational and training method (tool) that creates real world experiences allowing learners to acquire knowledge and skills in an observed risk free environment to improve care and promote safety. Simulation occurs in concert with other teaching modalities to enhance safe, efficient, competent care. As created by the MGH Simulation Task Force. Some slides based on presentations by MGH Simulation Task Force members to the MGH Trustees Education Subcommittee, the MGH Council on Technology Adoption and Innovative Process Promotion (CTAIPP); and the Partners GME 2010 Task Force

15. Why Simulation in Healthcare?What is the Added Value Over the Status Quo? • Patient Safety: Practice Without Risk • Early exposure and competence • Education On-Demand: Standardization of Curriculum • Mitigate time and chance • Efficiency in a New Era: Acceleration of the Expertise Curve • A new paradigm

Post Central Line Simulation Surveys Rate your confidence in being able to place a central line prior to this session? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 No confidence Extremely confident Rate your confidence in being able to place a central line after this session? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 No confidence Extremely confident Rate the ability of this training session to teach central line placement: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8.1 9 Poor Excellent Rate the realism of this simulation: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.2 8 9 Not realistic Extremely Realistic

20. Resident Commentary “Great program! All interns should do this before the MICU, even after a few lines”“Small group training was perfect!”

22. 16 Surgical Residents Randomized to VR Training or Control Until Expert Criteria Met VR Residents: 29% Faster, Errors 6 X Less Likely to Occur Non-VR Trained Residents: 5 X More Likely to Injure the GB or Burn Non-target Tissue
