Bokka L, Ciuffo F, Clapper TC. J Patient Saf. 2023;Epub Dec 21. Simulation provides a safe environment to learn new skills or identify medical errors. This system review highlights 20 studies on healthcare simulation to characterize types of errors identified. Errors were categorized into errors of commission, errors of omission, systems-related, or communication-related. All 13 studies that identified systems-related errors were conducted in situ, underscoring the importance of simulations on actual clinical units.
