Presentation
Using In-Situ Simulations to Develop Patient Safety Interventions in Community Retail Pharmacies
SessionME5: Macroergonomics
DescriptionIn-situ simulations occur in clinical environments where the simulated practice typically happens. Despite their widespread adoption in training and evaluation, utilizing in-situ simulations for active development and quality improvement within healthcare is just emerging. The Engineering Resilient Community Pharmacies (ENRICH) Patient Safety Learning Lab will utilize in-situ simulations in a closed community pharmacy to develop patient safety strategies that will become the components of a Medication Safety Map (MedSafeMapTM). Simulations will take place in three iterative stages, allowing the embedding of MedSafeMap into pharmacy work systems without risking patient safety during development and testing. Real-time end-user feedback will inform meaningful ongoing modifications to MedSafeMap.
The innovative nature of this methodological approach allows for a full attention shift to the intervention’s fit in the existing health system, and away from real-time patient safety concerns. This methodology could prove advantageous for macroergonomic research looking to examine system changes while protecting those impacted by the system. Ultimately, this process will allow us to develop a solution that seamlessly integrates into pharmacy workflows, aligns with staff needs, and enhances patient safety without introducing inefficiencies. This presentation will describe the protocol and tools necessary to create simulations, and methods to iteratively develop patient safety strategies.
