Exploring the safety and quality of mobile X-ray imaging in a new infectious disease biocontainment unit: an in situ simulation and video-reflexive study.

In situ simulation is used, increasingly, to evaluate and improve healthcare practices. This study confirmed the added value of video-reflexive methods, which provided experienced participants with a richer view of a familiar protocol, in a new setting. Video footage can be examined immediately, or later if required, by a broader group of stakeholders, with diverse experience or expertise. Using video reflexivity, clinicians identified potential safety risks, which were collated and reported to the hospital executive, who agreed to implement modifications.
