The Future of Pediatric Simulation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation: Pediatrics

Part of the book series: Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation ((CHS))

Abstract

This chapter discusses how pediatric simulation should evolve in the future to best address the needs of pediatric patients and their families. The chapter specifically highlights several key areas that offer opportunity for the future: (1) optimizing simulation resources within and between programs to enhance productivity, (2) integration of simulation into clinical governance, family-centered care, and assessment of healthcare professionals, (3) innovation in the forms of asynchronous learning, improved education management systems, distance learning, and improving the safety of clinical environments, (4) investigating pertinent clinical questions using simulation as a research tool, and (5) inspiring the future generation of simulation leaders by establishing a vision of how simulation can be used as a tool to enhance education, research, and patient safety.
