Simulation-Based Clinical System Testing of Neonatal Resuscitation Readiness Across a Rural Health System Identifies Common Latent Safety Threats.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Simulation offers an opportunity to practice neonatal resuscitation and test clinical systems to improve safety. The authors used simulation-based clinical systems testing (SbCST) with a Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (HFMEA) rubric to categorize and quantify latent safety threats (LSTs) during in situ training in eight rural delivery hospitals. The research team hypothesized that most LSTs would be common across hospitals. LST themes were identified across sites.

Methods

Between May 2019 and May 2023, the neonatal simulation team conducted half-day training sessions including a total of 177 interprofessional delivery room team members. Teams participated in skills stations, followed by in situ simulations with facilitated debriefs. Facilitators inclu
