“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.”
- Society of Simulation in Healthcare
Simulation techniques, including role-playing, low/high-tech tools, and various settings, can improve healthcare services. They help us understand human behavior in real-life settings. Healthcare simulation aims to enhance safety, effectiveness, and efficiency.
