Adler MD, Mobley BL, Eppich W, et al. Use of Simulation to Test Systems and Prepare Staff for a New Hospital Transition. J Patient Saf. 2018;14(3):143-147. doi:10.1097/PTS.0000000000000184.
This study reports the results of a large-scale simulation project conducted prior to opening a new hospital. The majority of simulation participants found the practice helpful in preparation for transitioning to a new hospital. The authors suggest that use of simulation in new facility training can enhance patient safety.
