Expectations

As I remember it now, I had high expectations and I also thought that this will be a huge opportunity to test out what we have talked about for so long. Namely to use a day to find out where the training needs are (for simulation-based training) (ID-1)

Educational opportunity:

Promote simulation as an educational method

A multifaceted method including SBA fitted a multifaceted crisis

… it is an incredibly much better way to learn than just sending someone an email or an e-learning course or a sheet to read things through. That you actually have to do things is so much more effective to learn than just using one sense. (ID-2)

That is, what space we should use in the emergency room. How to move from the emergency room to the operating room. How we were to function in the X-ray, i.e. in the CT room and who was to be in and where they should stand (ID- 10)

System focus:

System probing and testing out new ways of working

And they also implemented new equipment and new ways of working, such as intubating. During a normal intubation, you stand with your face 10 approx. from the uvula. But then (due to COVID-19) they started intubate with a video laryngoscope…. and then it's a good way to try it out in simulation (ID-7)

..but if we first take infection control equipment then it became quite early clear that there are many who need to practice. (ID-2)

Personal focus:

Identifying learning needs in employees
