ASPE has been represented at the annual Global Network for Simulation in Healthcare (GNSH) Summit since its inception in 2010. This year, Vice President for Operations Karen Reynolds and I participated in the Summit from Aug. 2-5 in Stavanger, Norway.

Paula Hudspeth never thought she'd have an acting career, but her part-time job in retirement has some overlap. She has to stay in character and deliver information consistently. In retirement, she works as a simulated participant in a clinical simulation center.

When a trauma patient enters the emergency room, the medical team has what is known as the "golden hour," a window of time to evaluate and stabilize the patient to prevent death. To help trauma teams optimize that limited time frame, trauma surgeons have developed a simulation training program that cuts precious minutes off evaluation times and gets trauma patients to medical imaging tests faster, investigators reported at the 2015 Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons.

When it comes to providing care and increasing patient satisfaction, time is not on anyone's side. The median length for an office visit to a primary care physician is now just 15 minutes – five minutes shorter than most patients spend in the waiting room. Physicians don't like the trend any more than their patients: on average, U.S. physicians feel as if they have four minutes and 20 seconds less time than needed for office visits and physical exams.

 Did you ever make a mistake, then hide the fact that one was made? Leaders often insulate themselves from others when they do not want admit to a mistake. In fact, many leaders do not want to learn from their own mistakes. Ultimately, this problem will crescendo out of control, and the leader may never recover from his or her mistakes. We all make mistakes, but our role as a leader is to make sure we understand that a mistake was made and to learn from it.

With over 50 percent of primary care providers believing that efforts to measure quality-related outcomes actually make quality worse, it seems there may be something missing from the equation. Relationships may be the key. Surveys consistently demonstrate that patients prioritize both the interpersonal attributes of their providers and their individual relationships with providers above all else.

The doctor-patient relationship is changing with the release of new technology. Smartphones and tablets are being used more and more in health systems, and wearables are next. Although relatively new on the tech scene, wearable devices have already made a large impact. These technologies are not only changing the way we think about health, but also they way we think about our providers.

The U.S. healthcare system is one in which price gouging is completely legal and cost inflation is out of control. New doctors enter systems where financial incentives are in treating people as needed rather than keeping them healthy, and where legacy programs have no good reason to change. But the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin, which will enroll its first class of 50 students in June 2016, is hoping to move things in a new direction.

Say you're a rural Midwestern farmer in bed recovering from a major illness at your local hospital. It's time for nurse's check in, but there's no knock on the door. At Mercy Hospital in St. Louis, just over the foot of the bed, a camera whirls around and a monitor lights up to show a smiling face with a headset on. "Good afternoon, this is Jeff with SafeWatch. Just doing my afternoon rounds," he said in this training exercise.
