Although it is a rare occurrence, pilots regularly rehearse engine failure in simulators. So when f d ith l it ti h bit t kfaced with a real situation habit takes over. Simulation enables people to train for rare events that do not occur often in real lifethat do not occur often, in real life.

Objecti esObjectives

Recall the overall risk for medical errors in the hospital environment and the top p p10 specific Sentinel Events by type.Recall the purpose of the 2009 National

Patient Safety Goal. List the components necessary for an

effective team training program. List the biggest challenges to

i l ti t t i iimplementing team training programs.
