Improving Communication and Resolution Following Adverse Events Using a Patient‐Created Simulation Exercise
研究由患者与家属咨询委员会设计并主导的模拟练习，帮助医疗机构理解患者经历，改善不良事件后的沟通与解决。
OBJECTIVE: The response to adverse events can lack patient-centeredness, perhaps because the involved institutions and other stakeholders misunderstand what patients and families go through after care breakdowns. STUDY SETTING: Washington and Texas. STUDY DESIGN: The HealthPact Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) created and led a five-stage simulation exercise to help stakeholders understand what patients experience following an adverse event. The half-day exercise was presented twice. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Lessons learned related to the development and conduct of the exercise were synthesized from planning notes, attendee evaluations, and exercise discussion notes. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: One hundred ninety-four individuals attended (86 Washington and 108 Texas). Take-homes from these exercises included the fact that the response to adverse events can be complex, siloed, and uncoordinated. Participating in this simulation exercise led stakeholders and patient advocates to express interest in continued collaboration. CONCLUSIONS: A PFAC-designed simulation can help stakeholders understand patient and family experiences following adverse events and potentially improve their response to these events.
