Abstract
Background: High-performance teams and medical simulation have emerged as essential tools to optimize healthcare delivery and reduce medical errors, which remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Objective: To analyze the impact of high-performance teams in improving healthcare outcomes, emphasizing the role of simulation in developing technical and non-technical skills that enhance collaborative work and critical decision-making.
Material and methods: A literature review was conducted in international medical databases such as PubMed, using MeSH terms like “simulation team training”. Studies addressing the relationship between medical simulation, multidisciplinary team skill development, and its impact on clinical care were included.
Results: The reviewed evidence showed a significant reduction in critical errors and better coordination among clinical teams after simulation training. In Mexico, initiatives like “Código Infarto” and “Código Cerebro” have demonstrated improvements in diagnosis and treatment times, alongside a decrease in morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
Conclusions: Medical simulation has proven to be an effective strategy for training high-performance teams by facilitating the development of technical and non-technical skills. Continuous implementation and protocol standardization could further improve healthcare outcomes and enhance patient safety.
Keywords: Simulation. High-performance teams. Multidisciplinary training. Medical care.
