This manual is designed to give clinical teams in NSW ideas for planning a safe move into a new intensive care unit (ICU).
The manual contains background information, an outline of the method to be used and a series of scenarios. The method and cases described should be adapted to suit local ICU function and design.
At a glance
A SITAR project is designed to:
- maximise staff orientation to the new clinical environment
- review key aspects of daily practice and workflow
- mitigate of latent safety threats in both building design and ICU operational structure.
In-situ clinical simulation replicates the day-to-day activities associated with current and projected clinical practice and procedure of the ICU.
