Abstract
Developing a culture of safety within health care has become a prime focus since the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released its report To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System in 1999. The report defines the magnitude of errors in health care and outlines potential areas for change and recommends the establishment of interdisciplinary team training programs including the use of simulation for trainees and experienced practitioners. Upon promotion to a newly created position of Perinatal Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) in 2008, I faced the challenge of initiating team training to address safety issues in perinatal care.
