Study Details

Brief summary:

Complex service interventions are neither smooth nor easy in any transitioning healthcare facility. Simulations performed in the new environment reinforce patient safety by uncovering safety threats, enabling their correction, and orienting hospital staff. This study expands upon patient safety successes at several institutions to measurably enhance patient safety at upcoming new inpatient facilities.
