Educational and process improvements after a simulation-based anaphylaxis simulation workshop

Simulation-based education to improve management of refractory anaphylaxis in an allergy clinic

“…The in-situ simulation proved essential for identifying and solving gaps in the process that could not be captured during lab simulation (access to material and medications, code signalling, and intensive care response). The main benefits of an actual medical setting simulation described in the literature are the possibility to evaluate participants’ knowledge and competencies and the clinical environment to improve patient safety [ 4 , 5 , 7 ].…”

“…As with any office medical emergency, these can represent a significant source of anxiety for medical and administrative personnel [ 4 ]. Simulation-based medical education allows trainers to develop specific skills without exposing patients to avoidable errors [ 2 , 7 ]. In addition to clinical knowledge and skills, medical simulations have also been shown to improve non-cognitive abilities such as teamwork, leadership and communication skills [ 5 , 8 – 10 ].…”

Implementation and assessment of an anaphylaxis simulation curriculum for Boston-area allergy and immunology trainees

“…4 Case-based simulation previously increased awareness and identification of anaphylaxis in chemotherapy infusion centers among Hematology-Oncology healthcare providers. 5 Simulation was also found to improve knowledge on the diagnosis and treatment of antibiotic-induced anaphylaxis and ACE-inhibitor-induced angioedema for medical students and residents 6 . However, anaphylaxis simulation has not been studied in AI trainees who require specific skills related to anaphylaxis recognition and management.…”

Improvement in Hematology Interprofessional Care: Simulation With an Emphasis on Collaboration

“…Simulation programs incorporating these elements have demonstrated effectiveness with senior medical learners and practicing clinicians in medical specialties. [12][13][14] For example, a simulation workshop focused on the management of anaphylaxis in patients receiving chemotherapy, led to improvements in knowledge, confidence, and adherence to best treatment practices. 12 While, teamwork skills were included in the assessment model, collaboration was not the primary focus of the workshop.…”
