title: Blending clinical and technical skills at the bedside.
abstract: The brave new world will find a richer blending of clinical and technical skill development as scenario-based simulation training emerges on the web. The benefits of competency assessment, standards-based education, and just-in-time decision-making support will help organizations serve the patient with greater skill. This is the bridge to crossing the quality chasm that exists today. And, it is the promise for a safer tomorrow.
