- ItemOpen AccessBuilding impactful systems-focused simulations: integrating change and project management frameworks into the pre-work phase(2021-04-29) Dubé, Mirette; Posner, Glenn; Stone, Kimberly; White, Marjorie; Kaba, Alyshah; Bajaj, Komal; Cheng, Adam; Grant, Vincent; Huang, Simon; Reid, JenniferAbstract Healthcare organizations strive to deliver safe, high-quality, efficient care. These complex systems frequently harbor gaps, which if unmitigated, could result in harm. Systems-focused simulation (SFS) projects, which include systems-focused debriefing (SFD), if well designed and executed, can proactively and comprehensively identify gaps and test and improve systems, enabling institutions to improve safety and quality before patients and staff are placed at risk. The previously published systems-focused debriefing framework, Promoting Excellence and Reflective Learning in Simulation (PEARLS) for Systems Integration (PSI), describes a systematic approach to SFD. It includes an essential “pre-work” phase, encompassing evidence-informed steps that lead up to a SFD. Despite inclusion in the PSI framework, a detailed description of the pre-work phase, and how each component facilitates change management, was limited. The goal of this paper is to elucidate the PSI “Pre-work” phase, everything leading up to the systems-focused simulation and debriefing. It describes how the integration of project and change management principles ensures that a comprehensive collection of safety and quality issues are reliably identified and captured.

- ItemEmbargoGeothermal Heat In Calgary: An Oil And Gas Retrofit(2017) Reid, JenniferAlberta is home to hundreds of thousands of non-productive oil and gas wells that are currently both safety and financial liabilities to companies. A portion of these wells has potential to become an asset. This project seeks to determine if non-productive wells can be converted to geothermal purposes to provide heat to Calgary homes and businesses. To date, the research in this area is quite limited, but did provide the basis of design for the geothermal heat exchanger modelled in this project. To advance work in this field of study, an extensive review of existing work was performed. Then the most viable well was selected and used as the basis for a heattransfer model. The study concludes with economic and environmental assessments. The project shows that while a geothermal retrofit of a non-productive hydrocarbon well is possible, it is not economically viable under the circumstances of the study.
