Patient safety room of horrors: a novel method to assess medical students and entering residents' ability to identify hazards of hospitalisation.

Farnan JM, Gaffney S, Poston JT, et al. BMJ Qual Saf. 2016;25:153-158.

This simulation study challenged medical students to identify patient safety hazards in a hospital room. Students demonstrated a wide range of accuracy in identifying hazards, with fall risk most likely and pressure ulcer risk least likely to be identified. This finding shows the utility of simulation in patient safety education.
