Title: Safer Spaces through Simulation with Dr. Andrew Petrosoniak (#27)
In this insightful episode of Safe Space Made Simple, host Trace Hobson welcomes Andrew Petrosoniak, an emergency physician and trauma leader at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto and co-founder of Advanced Performance Healthcare Design. Together, they discuss the importance of well-designed clinical spaces and the role of simulation in enhancing patient care, team performance and psychological health and safety.
Key Points Discussed:
Simulation in Healthcare: Andrew’s journey into simulation and design during his residency in New Zealand. The concept of translational simulation focused on testing processes and improving clinical spaces.
The Impact of Design on Patient Care: How efficiently designed spaces can drastically improve patient outcomes.
Building Psychological Safety: The significance of creating psychologically safe environments where team members feel comfortable speaking up through pre-briefing and debriefing to enhance team dynamics and performance.
The power of asking, “What am I missing?” to foster open communication and accountability.
Bridging Gaps in Healthcare Leadership: Addressing the disconnect between point-of-care staff and clinical leadership. The role of empathy and firsthand observation in understanding frontline challenges. Using design thinking and simulation to align leadership decisions with clinical realities.
Simulation Beyond Clinical Scenarios: The potential for using simulation in non-clinical settings, such as team building and communication training. Practicing difficult conversations and setting boundaries through simulated scenarios.
