Recent Advances in Simulation for Pediatric Critical Care Medicine

Ilana Harwayne-Gidansky et al. Curr Pediatr Rep. 2020.

Abstract

Purpose of review: This review highlights the emerging fields of simulation research by tying innovation into principles of learning and process improvement.

Recent findings: Advances have been made in both educational simulation and simulation for quality improvement, allowing this versatile modality to be more broadly applied to healthcare and systems.

Summary: Simulation in pediatric critical care medicine continues to evolve. Although the majority of simulation is focused on learner education, emerging research has broadened to focus on patient- and system-centered outcomes, leading to improvement in the quality of care delivered in the ICU.

Keywords: Healthcare simulation; Medical education; Pediatric critical care medicine; Quality and patient safety.
