  20. Usability • Axiom 1: Users must be an early and continuous focus during interface design • Axiom 2: The design process should be iterative, allowing for evaluation and correction of identified problems • Axiom 3: Formal evaluation should take place using rigorous experimental and/or qualitative methods (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2009)

  21. Code Team!-Usability • Usability-the ease at which people can use an interface to achieve a particular goal (McGonigle &Mastrian, 2009) • Code Team is user friendly, easy to learn and intuitive • Designed with the user in mind • Easy to install and configure • User satisfaction • Only compatible with Windows® (Staggers, 2003)

  24. Point of Care System Evaluation • Definition-Laboratory and other services provided to patients at the bedside. • Effective method of data collection • Minimize documentation time • Reduces inaccuracies • Unobtrusive, user friendly and intuitive (Bogard, 2007)

  25. Information System Evaluation in Simulated Malignant Hyperthermia Crisis • Using human patient simulator in fully equipped simulated operating room • Quality of treatment was improved • Fast information retrieval times • Rapid, accurate clinical decision making (Berkenstadt, Yusim, Ziv, Ezri & Perel, 2006)

  28. Advantages of Simulation • Reduction of Medical Errors and Adverse Events • Patient Safety-Safe practice environment • Reduced Health Care Costs • Better Trained Providers • Experience and Repetition develop skills (Eder-Van Hook , 2004)

  29. Advantages of Simulation • Practice on simulators without consequences to real patients. • Enhance critical thinking and decision making skills • Apply knowledge in appropriate context • Immediate feedback with repeated review. (Delprado, 2007))

  30. Disadvantages of Simulation • Investment of federal and private sector funds • Time investment is significant • Cannot develop emotional and intuitive awareness • Can be difficult to fit into a curriculum. • Intimidating having to “perform” (Delprado, 2007)

  31. Legal & Ethical Issues • Patients are no longer a commodity for training • Simulation fosters social justice • Manikins rarely initiate litigation (Small, 2004)

  36. Summary Advances in technology have created new and safer methods for teaching medicine and nursing. One of the most exciting, medical simulation is being incorporated into education and practice and is revolutionizing the way medical and nursing education is provided to students and experienced practitioners. It is helping to ensure clinical competence, reduce medical errors and lower health care costs. Simulation based training provides better trained providers and ultimately improves the overall quality of patient care.
