[Simulation training as part of clinical risk management : A  health economic view].

This article shows possible health economic considerations in the discussion about financing CRM-based simulation training. Cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analyses are difficult to perform. They require an individual planning. Regardless of this, simulation training enables participants to experience (simulation) and reflect their own actions in critical situations (debriefing). With the help of specially trained CRM instructors, deviations from expected behavior can be detected. This non-conformity can be used as a starting point for the establishment and further development of patient safety by a structural analysis of possible failures within the system. The decision to finance CRM-based simulation training remains a fundamental decision of the management of the respective hospital. In the near future, pressure from liability insurers to prevent incidents might increase. The inclusion of CRM-based simulation training as an integral component of clinical risk management could provide key benefits in contract negotiation.
