Chulalongkorn team seeks to make Thailand a ‘zero-harm’ healthcare model

Chulalongkorn University is developing the Emergency Room–Virtual Interprofessional Education (ER-VIPE) programme to improve patient safety by training doctors, nurses, pharmacists, paramedics and other healthcare professionals to communicate and work effectively as a team before entering real clinical settings.

Using simulation and the TeamSTEPPS framework, the programme aims to break down professional silos, reduce medical errors, stress and burnout and serve as a national model for Thailand’s goal of achieving “zero harm” in healthcare, while artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to support educators in medical training, rather than replacing them.
