Assessing system thinking in senior pharmacy students using the innovative "Horror Room" simulation setting: a cross-sectional survey of a non-technical skill.
Simulated hospital rooms have been used in medical education to identify potential safety threats. In this study, pharmacy students participated in a team-based simulation to identify potential latent errors and then completed a system thinking survey. Survey results indicated students had a good understanding of systems thinking, but only identified about half of the potential errors in the simulated room.
