Improving Resuscitation Algorithm Using Translational Simulation & Visual Design
Healthcare teams are encouraged to utilise guidelines and algorithms in their decision-making, but these guidelines are rarely designed with the end user in mind. Resuscitation algorithms, in particular, must be designed to be streamlined and instinctive in order to meet their purpose and increase uptake.
In this talk, Ben Symon shares his experiences improving Queensland Health algorithms and guidelines utilising translational simulation, his experience as a resuscitationist and conceptual foundations from his degree in visual arts.
