Enhancing departmental preparedness for COVID-19 using rapid cycle in situ simulation	2020-06-13		.txt	text/plain	2331	142	50	In response to COVID-19, we developed a rapid-cycle in situ simulation (ISS) programme to facilitate identification and resolution of systems-based latent safety threats. Rapid cycle simulation has been described previously in medical education as a way of providing real time feedback and opportunities for learners to practice [7] , and there are examples of in situ simulation being used in an iterative fashion to find solutions to latent safety threats over months to years [7, 8] . Given our experience from SARS, our ISS team understood that the highest risk of this emerging respiratory pathogen would be in the case of a critically-ill patient presenting to triage and ultimately requiring aerosol-generating procedures in the ED [8, 9] . The rapid-cycle ISS programme was created to identify latent safety threats (LST) to staff and mitigate these with innovative solutions that could subsequently be tested in the next simulation. This rapid-cycle ISS programme provides an opportunity to identify and iteratively address latent safety threats in caring for patients with possible COVID-19 in a time-sensitive fashion.	./cache/cord-275696-xag08e8h.txt	./txt/cord-275696-xag08e8h.txt
