“…A standardized simulation scenario can be used to develop baseline metrics in a simulation repeated under various conditions to quantify the relative changes in surge capacity [143]. Modeling has been used to incorporate human movement trajectory data during triage drills by tracking patient movement and providing data for optimization of use of limited spatial resources within a triage post [144].…”

Global health security (GHS) is dependent upon having an adequate and prepared health security workforce. There are currently numerous challenges in establishing and maintaining a health security workforce. The frequency and magnitude of disasters have increased significantly over the past 30 years. Current and future GHS threats, both manmade and natural, require a prepared and flexible healthcare provider workforce ready to respond to current or emerging GHS threats [1]. Developing and maintaining GHS -specific skills in the healthcare workforce is a tremendous logistical challenge. Innovative education technologies, including simulation and digital learning, can be leveraged to achieve preparedness for GHS threats [2].Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and other emerging infectious diseases (EID) are also concerns for GHS. The world faces increasing challenges related to natural and manmade disasters as the frequency and magnitude of disasters have increased significantly over the past 30 years. Healthcare workers protect the well-being of people around the world by preventing, detecting, and responding to public health threats. Current and future GHS threats, both manmade and natural, require a prepared and flexible healthcare provider workforce ready to respond to current or emerging threats [3].There is a global public health workforce shortage. The WHO tracks healthcare workforce data on 186 countries, and 57 were insufficient in healthcare provider availability and accessibility [4]. The 2013-2016 African EVD epidemic revealed WHO organizational deficiencies in coordinating responses to public health emergencies and a shifting of priorities away from global health security threats [5]. It Providing initial and sustainment training to the diverse GHS healthcare workforce is expensive and inefficient utilizing the traditional classroom model. Greater demands have been placed on disaster medicine educators. There is a need to develop innovative methods to educate healthcare providers in the ever-expanding body of disaster medicine knowledge [22].Many of these challenges can be met with gaming and simulation technologies new generations of GHS responders have embraced. Simulation-based training (SBT) has been demonstrated to provide effective learning and is increasingly being integrated into healthcare provider education [23]. The advantages of SBT may be summarized as follows: (1) safety-simulated lives and health can be jeopardized to any extent required for training without harming any people; (2) economy-simulated material and equipment can be used, misused, and expended;(3) visibility-simulation can provide visibility in two ways; you can make the invisible visible and control the visibility of details allowing the learner to discern the forest from the trees or the trees from the forest as needed; (4) time control -simulator time can be sped up, slowed down, or stopped. It can also be completely reversed, allowing learners to replicate specific problems, events, or opera...

“…[40][41][42] Clinically active EM researchers have applied HF principles to the evaluation and improvement of systems of emergency care. 43 These investigations have led to insights into HF issues that affect vital ED processes and tasks, including patient transportation, 44 disaster response, 45,46 and the acquisition of essential clinical supplies. 47 Patient telemetry monitoring, a complex clinical process, exemplifies an active area of HF-based research, with a focus on alarm fatigue 48 and the timely detection of life-threatening arrhythmias.…”

This consensus group from the 2017 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference "Catalyzing System Change through Health Care Simulation: Systems, Competency, and Outcomes" held in Orlando, Florida, on May 16, 2017, focused on the use of human factors (HF) and simulation in the field of emergency medicine (EM). The HF discipline is often underutilized within EM but has significant potential in improving the interface between technologies and individuals in the field. The discussion explored the domain of HF, its benefits in medicine, how simulation can be a catalyst for HF work in EM, and how EM can collaborate with HF professionals to effect change. Implementing HF in EM through health care simulation will require a demonstration of clinical and safety outcomes, advocacy to stakeholders and administrators, and establishment of structured collaborations between HF professionals and EM, such as in this breakout group.
