Hospital-wide cardiac arrest in situ simulation to identify and mitigate latent safety threats.
Bentley SK, Meshel A, Boehm L, et al. Hospital-wide cardiac arrest in situ simulation to identify and mitigate latent safety threats. Adv Simul (Lond). 2022;7(1):15. doi:10.1186/s41077-022-00209-0.
In situ simulations are an effective method to identify latent safety threats (LST). Seventy-four in situ cardiac arrest simulations were conducted in one hospital, identifying 106 unique LSTs. Four LSTs were deemed imminent safety threats and were immediately resolved following debrief; another 15 were prioritized as high-risk.
