OUTCOME: PATIENT SAFETY & RISK MITIGATION
Find and Fix Safety Threats Before They Reach Patients
Achieve turns simulation into a patient safety engine—using high-risk scenarios, in situ drills, and systems-focused debriefing to identify latent threats, strengthen teams, and reduce adverse events before they cause harm.
Organizations using Achieve in situ simulation identify an average of
4-6 latent safety threats per session
Achieve: Your Proactive Safety Partner
Achieve integrates simulation into your safety and quality infrastructure, transforming reactive event response into proactive risk identification. Our consultants work with your risk, quality, and education teams to design event-based scenarios, conduct HFMEA-style simulations, and build systems-level improvement loops that turn near-misses into learning opportunities.
What Makes Achieve Different:
- Systems thinking approach that goes beyond individual performance to identify environmental, process, and latent threats
- In situ simulation expertise bringing training into actual care environments to uncover real-world risks
- Integration with QI/PI linking simulation findings directly to safety dashboards and improvement projects
- Defensible evidence for risk committees, boards, and accreditors that your organization is actively managing safety
Complete Solution Set
What You Get
HFMEA-style reviews, event-based simulation design, failure mode analysis, safety culture assessment
How It Helps
Identifies where protocols break down under pressure and what environmental factors contribute to risk
Reduce Adverse Events
Organizations using simulation-based safety training report 20-40% reductions in targeted adverse events (medication errors, falls, pressure injuries, code response times).
Identify Hidden Risks
In situ simulation uncovers 4-6 latent safety threats per session—equipment issues, workflow bottlenecks, communication failures—that would never surface in a simulation center.
Strengthen Team Performance
High-pressure simulation builds teamwork, communication, and shared mental models. Teams that train together perform better when seconds matter.
Create Safety Evidence
Provide boards, risk committees, and accreditors with concrete evidence that your organization is proactively managing safety through structured training and continuous improvement.
Proven Results
Case Study: Academic Medical Center
“Our in situ simulation program identified 23 latent safety threats in our first six months—everything from missing crash cart supplies to communication breakdowns during handoffs. We’ve been able to address these proactively, and our code response times have improved by 35%.”
