Outreach simulation for system improvement: a novel advocacy and reporting process.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Healthcare simulation programmes measuring their value risk wasting resources in attempts to prove they impact patient outcomes. Simulation is one of many strategies used to enhance healthcare systems, and proving specific correlation with simulation will prove impossible in many circumstances. To maintain accountability but ensure feasibility, we argue simulation services need measurement processes that are robust, achievable, and synergistic with their mission. In 2023, the STORK service in Queensland, Australia, began measuring the impact of simulation on systems rather than patients to define the extent to which their educational programmes could impact system improvement.
