Abstract: The areas of health informatics, healthcare quality and safety, and healthcare simulation are often thought of as separate domains. The purpose of this position paper is to report on the interdependence that is emerging as an important triad across the healthcare/health system continuum. A qualitative review of 24 studies suggests the interdependence of health informatics, healthcare quality and safety, and healthcare simulation reaches much broader than traditional utilisation of simulation. We suggest ways that organisations can take advantage of the interdependence of this triad across a broader variety of healthcare environments, including teamwork, communication, and complex system relationships. In conclusion, the reviewed 24 studies suggest that the research in the triad focuses on simulation education and computerised simulation, and when coupled with health informatics, bears greater strength on quality improvement or patient safety.
