Promoting Organizational Learning in Healthcare through Simulation: A Study in Serendipity

In a case study of a simulation-based medical education program, we serendipitously discovered organizational learning as it emerged among expected patterns of individual learning. During simulation debriefings, radiologists-in-training (“residents”) spontaneously engaged in organizational learning processes. They identified routines that hindered patient care for uncommon, but potentially fatal contrast media reactions. We provide exemplars illustrating how residents identified system-related patient safety threats. Residents learned directly from simulation, recollected clinical encounters, and constructed hypothetical histories (imagining what could have happened in their hospitals). We discuss implications for organizational learning from hypothetical histories and future research promoting organizational learning in healthcare through simulation

Behind the Scenes of the Discovery of Two Extrasolar Planets: ESO Large Programme 666

This is the story of the Large Programme 666, dedicated to discover sub-stellar objects (extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs), and to measure their masses, radii, and mean densities. We hunt selected OGLE transit candidates using spectroscopy and photometry in the ‘twilight zone’, stretching the limits of what is nowadays possible with the VLT.Fil: Minniti, Dante.
