Preventing and Managing Patient Deterioration: Simulated Clinical Time Travel and Augmented Intelligence

Clinical simulations provide immersive learning and development of competencies without harming patients. This CUES project will develop and evaluate the feasibility of clinical simulations that enable interprofessional teams to travel through simulation-time (sim-time) along the trajectory of patient physiologic deterioration. Project scenarios will enable experimentation and opportunities to go back in sim-time to correct mistakes.

Over 20 years ago the Institute of Medicine identified the grand challenge of preventable deaths due to medical errors. Prior to COVID-19 becoming the leading cause of death in the United States (Cox & Amin 2021), medical errors were estimated as the third most common cause of death (Makary & Michael, 2016). Failure to Rescue (FTR) deteriorating patients is one error type. The project will use emerging technologies (VR, MR, AI) to develop Complex Adaptive Competencies needed to identify, prevent, and manage patient deterioration. The project will enhance University of Arizona Health Sciences students’ readiness to prevent FTR events and improve patient survival.
