Using video to assess and improve patient safety during simulated and actual neonatal resuscitation

Abstract

Neonatal resuscitation is an event that can cause high stress among healthcare professionals (HCPs) and is frequently associated with medical errors. Improving patient safety and reducing errors requires a concerted effort with a plan for improvement. Video can be used as a component of the improvement process at several points including standardizing educational information, assessing learner knowledge and skills during simulation, and assessing individual and team performance during actual neonatal resuscitations.
