Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapidly evolving landscape of health and social care demands innovative approaches to education, training, and clinical practise. Integrating artificial intelligence with simulation-based training offers a promising pathway to improve interprofessional collaboration among health and social care services providers. This Special Issue will cover various aspects including the development and application of AI tools in simulations, the effectiveness of simulation techniques in fostering teamwork, and case studies illustrating successful interprofessional collaborations driven by AI and simulation in improving patients’ outcomes. We invite empirical research, systematic reviews, and innovative case studies that address these themes.
This Special Issue seeks to explore the convergence of simulation, artificial intelligence (AI), and interprofessional collaboration to enhance patient care, health, and social care outcomes. It aims to bring together multidisciplinary research that demonstrates how AI-driven simulations can support the training and collaboration of diverse healthcare teams. Contributions may include studies on AI algorithms for simulation training, case studies on simulation in interprofessional education, and analyses of AI's role in facilitating teamwork in clinical settings. These contributions are aimed at advancing patient care and optimizing healthcare services.
We look forward to receiving insightful contributions.
