An amazing translational simulation event with @Ornge and St Mike’s ED on May 7th! > 100 participants and online observers. These types sim events allow us to stress test our processes, leading to systems-wide impacts. Great work all! @petrosoniak @UnityHealthEd @UnityHealthTO

Interrogating our processes for accepting critically ill patients is an essential practice. Thanks @Ornge for being such a great collaborator in this work! Successful dry run complete, looking forward to May 7th! @UnityHealthTO @UnityHealthEd @petrosoniak

Is VR simulation a useful tool to address racism? We partnered with our Anti-Racism Equity and Social Accountability & Centre for Faculty Development to find out. Check out our article, what do you think? @UnityHealthEd @UnityHealthTO @petrosoniak

Racism continues to plague Western societies’ institutions, including the healthcare system. Despite the evidence of racism’s negative impacts on healthcare providers, administrators, patients, and...

Can you train/fine tune AI using simulation? We wanted to know, and with the help of the Digital supercluster grant we can! Stay tuned for our findings and lessons learned. @UnityHealthEd @UnityHealthTO @petrosoniak @lumetoxr

A great article by colleagues on the importance of representation with CPR manikins to disrupt sexism and cisheteronormativity! A great addition to the literature and why we made this solution happen! Interested in how we did it? DM or email us simulationprogram@unityhealth.to

How we are addressing inclusivity in CPR training👇🏼
To be more inclusive, the simulation team outfitted some of their CPR manikins with breasts, as they previously only had male-representing manikins. "We have to be the change": How @Sim_UnityHealth is supporting more inclusivity in CPR training https://t.co/V9W1vC3kEI

Excited to have you in this role and where you will take our team 🥳
I’m excited to start my new role as medical director of the @UnityHealthTO simulation program (aka @Sim_UnityHealth)! Excited to be working with an amazing team as we continue to grow this world class simulation program!

The ultimate in knowledge translation. Case: cardiac arrest ED simulation to test & train our processes for dual sequential defibrillation. We were joined by @DrCheskes who changed practice w/ @NEJM pub Dose VF study. Amazing start to the day @UnityHealthTO w/ @Sim_UnityHealth

Using #simulation for #HALO (high acuity, low opportunity) events, like a mass casualty. “It allows staff to safely experience the chaos, stress and resource constraints they would face during a mass casualty event. It's like a dress rehearsal that allows for deep learning.”
Mass casualty events are rare, but they happen. At @UnityHealthTO we use full scale clinical #simulation in the ED to test and train for our response in the event of a Code Orange (mass casualty). Amazing partnership betw our clinical, logistical and @Sim_UnityHealth team.

What a great way to start the day! Multidisciplinary team simulation in our ED @UnityHealthTO this AM made possible by our ED RN educators and @Sim_UnityHealth team! An accidental hypothermia case to test our rewarming processes and we were joined by our CVICU colleagues.

Crash testing the new St Joseph’s ED resus spaces with the experts. Thanks to the Joes’ ED RNs, Clericals, RTs, MDs and Op Readiness for your time & expertise. We’ve identified latent safety threats to resolve before the first pt enters the space! @UnityHealthTO @UnityHealthEd

We just “crash tested” using translational #simulation a more streamlined process of getting critically injured pts to the OR. Far more safe & efficient than “hoping” a new protocol will work. In a complex adaptive system, key to observe how a new system plays out in reality.

The last OR (#ISS sim) case of the day went exactly as planned: high quality CPR, early defib, and lots of interprofessional collaboration. @UnityHealthTO @UnityHealthEd

Every organization will encounter a crisis. Here’s how we used the concept of pre-mortem to improve. This week we @Sim_UnityHealth conducted a multi-disciplinary #simulation of a complete loss of IT infrastructure. Goal: crash test our processes & ensure ongoing care 🧵 1/

Here's how we're using in situ #simulation and data-driven QI initiatives with our @UnityHealthTO ED team. 🧵 Case: Refractory VF Goals: - Integrate DOSE VF protocol from @DrCheskes et al & tested dual sequential defib logistics - Evaluate CPR performance - Test RN co-lead 1/
