Introduction. Simulation is defined as "the imitative representation of the functioning of one system or process by means of the functioning of another". 1 It is an activity that mimics natural phenomena without the added risk of sustaining expected consequences. The degree to which a simulation resembles reality is termed fidelity. 2 Modern day simulation is used by a wide spectrum of

INTRODUCTION. Simulation-based learning is one of the main components of health care education, which has proliferated tremendously in the last few decades and is widely accepted by the teaching community as a method to expedite skill training and assessment.1 Simulation-based education encompasses the knowledge, skills, and behaviors attained by healthcare professionals toward better patient

Healthcare simulation can be a useful tool in the quality improvement process, specifically by being a safe way to test process changes before they are implemented in the real clinical environment. This is one phase of the commonly used quality improvement tool, the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle, namely, the "Do" cycle.

Simulation is the imitation or representation of one act or system by another. Healthcare simulations can be said to have four main purposes - education, assessment, research, and health system integration in facilitating patient safety. Each of these purposes may be met by some combination of role play, low and high tech tools, and a variety of settings from tabletop sessions to a realistic

https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-28845-7_1
Indeed, the ultimate goal of simulation is to enhance patient safety and patient-centered care from a multi-level perspective (e.g., individual, team, organizational) [ 13, 14 ]. To achieve this goal, the healthcare field turned to proven strategies from other high-hazard industries similar in complexity.
