Simulation training in medicine and technology management

Abstract

Simulation training is an innovative approach that can raise medical education to a new level, upgrade practical skills of health care professionals, reduce clinical risks, and improve patient safety. However, its implementation involves quite a number of issues that should be addressed at the level of a specific health care facility or medical university, and at the level of the public health system – regionwide and/or nationwide. Besides administrative, logistical, financial, legal, and other aspects, some are related to the technical infrastructure and technology management.
