Sustained decrease in latent safety threats through regular interprofessional in situ simulation training of neonatal emergencies.
In situ simulation training can identify latent safety threats (LSTs) before they cause patient harm. Researchers in this study conducted 13 one-day in situ simulation trainings of neonatal emergencies at one Austrian hospital over an eight-year period and identified 67 LSTs. The most common categories of LSTs involved equipment (63%), resources (21%), and medications (16%).
