Pragmatic Approach to In Situ Simulation to Identify Latent Safety Threats Before Moving to a Newly Built ICU.
Transitions to new care environments may have unexpected consequences that threaten patient safety. We undertook a quality improvement project using in situ simulation to learn the new patient care environment and expose latent safety threats before transitioning patients to a newly built adult ICU. ⋯ In situ simulation effectively identifies latent safety threats surrounding the transition to new ICUs and should be considered before moving into new units.
