The Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality at Johns Hopkins Medicine is collaborating with Lockheed Martin Corporation, a global security and technology company, to build "a safer and more efficient" hospital intensive care unit model.
Johns Hopkins researchers will utilize Lockheed Martin's modeling and simulation technology to test alternative approaches to ICU care in a learning laboratory with a virtual simulation theatre, an engineering workshop and testing area with mannequins that imitate patient conditions and responses.
In this way, the two organizations will work to streamline complex and fragmented clinical systems and processes to reduce medical errors and improve quality of care for critically ill patients.
