At a glance
William Osler Health System, a large community hospital to revamp their existing simulation rooms, enhancing their utilization and establishing a playbook to guide the development of a comprehensive simulation program. This collaboration led to a space utilization increase of 40%, a playbook featuring five core recommendations, and the establishment of a simulation committee to support ongoing initiatives.
The Challenge
The hospital faced significant underutilization of their simulation rooms, which limited the potential for staff training, performance assessment, and team development. Lacking a structured framework for simulation program development, the hospital struggled to maximize the educational and operational impact of their available space. A more effective and systematic approach was needed to elevate their simulation capabilities.
What We Did
Our consulting team conducted a thorough needs assessment and workflow analysis to understand current challenges and identify improvement opportunities. We then designed a tailored space plan to optimize the simulation rooms, created a playbook with five essential recommendations to guide the development and sustainability of the program, and advised on establishing a simulation committee to oversee ongoing efforts and integration into hospital operations.
The Impact
Impact Highlights
- 387% increase in the number of simulation participants, significantly expanding program reach.
- 226% growth in simulation hours delivered, enhancing training opportunities.
- 70% improvement in participant satisfaction, elevating the quality of sessions.
- 30% expansion of simulation space, supporting operational scalability and future growth.
