Abstract
Simulation offers multiple tools that apply to medical settings, but little is known about the application of simulation to pediatric trauma workflow changes. Our institution recently underwent significant clinical changes in becoming an independent pediatric trauma center. We used a simulation-based clinical systems testing (SbCST) approach to manage change-associated risks. The purpose of this study was to describe our SbCST process, evaluate its impact on patient safety, and estimate financial costs and benefits.
