Patient Safety First (PSF) Collaborative hospitals will have an opportunity to send OB and Sepsis staff members who care for patients to two different simulation trainings focused on real-life scenarios, advancing the participants’ knowledge and skills in preventing serious complications for their patients. These simulation trainings are an extraordinary value, offered at no charge.

May 5 – May 22: Sepsis Simulation Training is led by the expertise of Medical Simulation Corporation (MSC) educators. This training has been extremely well received by 40 PSF Collaborative hospital teams over the past three years, and now includes a high technology-enabled Sepsis Quality Immerse Program designed to advance the application of evidence-based guidelines to rapidly improve patient outcomes and measurably reduce costs. The three-hour session is offered mornings or afternoons, Monday through Friday, at three separate locations over three weeks. HASC is very grateful to our hosting hospitals.

• May 5 – 8, Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center
• May 11 – 15, Menifee Valley Medical Center
• May 18 – 22, Anaheim Regional Medical Center

April 9 – July 16: We are introducing a new Post-Partum Hemorrhage simulation training program led by Dr. Helen Rodriguez, Director of Maternal/Fetal Medicine at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center. In this training, participants will practice an in-situ hemorrhage drill, learn how to implement formal debriefing methods, and track lessons learned that are shared widely. The 90-minute session is offered every Thursday, beginning April 9 through July 16, at 8:30 or 10:30. All sessions will be held at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center.
