Pediatric Grand Rounds (RECORDING) Helping Make Practice Perfect: The Role of a Human Factors Approach in Simulation, Debriefing, and Team Performance Research

This presentation is a recording of a Stanford Pediatric Grand Rounds Session.  World-renowned experts will present the latest research, practice guidelines, and treatment protocols to advance best practices in the care of pediatric patients. These online recordings will provide pediatricians and family physicians with up-to-date clinical information on a wide range of clinical issues encountered in daily pediatric practice. This session will explore how human factors science can be incorporated into simulation-based training and research in healthcare in order to provide a deeper understanding of how to deliver better care and improve patient safety

1. Revisit familiar uses of simulation-based training and debriefing. Define the field of human factors science.
2. Describe how an understanding of human factors principles can enhance the quality of debriefings and inform simulation-based team performance research.

In support of improving patient care, Stanford Medicine is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
