SIMNOVATE INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT

MAY 5-6, 2016, THE OMNI HOTEL, MONTREAL

International experts in patient safety, medical technologies, pervasive learning and global health have been meeting regularly to discuss the baseline of where the work is at in each domain and determine what is missing to propel change in their respective areas. The Simnovate International Summit on May 5-6, 2016 provides an opportunity to share the findings of the domain working groups and engage individuals from a wide range of disciplines to collaborate and drive forward better health care.

Join us as the worlds of simulation, education and innovation collide to break conventions and create new directions for the future of health care.

DESCRIPTION: Simnovate began in May 2015 with the creation of four domain groups in the following areas: patient safety, medical technologies, pervasive learning, and global health. Since that time, each group has been engaging in monthly discussions and now, one year later, each domain group co-chair will summarize the dialogue, thoughts and considerations of these discussions and share their thoughts on how they might influence the future of health care.

10:30 a.m. Refreshment break

11:00 a.m. Simnovate domain groups - Patient safety: Dr. Rajesh Aggarwal and Dr. Robyn Tamblyn workshops Medical technologies: Dr. Benoît Gallix, Chair, Department of Diagnostic Radiology, McGill University and Dr. Carla Pugh Pervasive learning: Dr. Ollivier Dyens Global health: Dr. Jishnu Das and Dr. Madhukar Pai, Director, Global Health Programs, McGill University

DESCRIPTION: Each domain group is comprised of an interdisciplinary consortium of experts with an interest in health care who wish to look outside the traditional realms of improvement to determine future directions and zones of importance. With this goal, each domain group has defined a framework in which simulation can be used to bring about change in each respective area. These workshops have been designed to share this framework and discuss the challenges and opportunities with respect to the use of simulation within each domain.
