17. Simulation Terminology The simulation literature has not provided a consistent definition for many of the terms vital to using simulation. Manikin vs. Mannequin Gaba, D. (2006). What’s in a name: A mannequin by any other name would work as well. Simulation in Healthcare, 1, 64-65.

18. What is patient simulation? “Simulations are created experiences that mimic processes or conditions that cannot or should not be experienced firsthand by a student because of the student’s inexperience or the risk to the patient (Morton, 1997, p. 66).” “Simulation is a technique…to replace or amplify real experiences with guided experiences that evoke or replicate substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive manner (Gaba, 2004, p. i2).” “Simulation is a generic term that refers to the artificial representation of a real-world process to achieve educational goals via experiential learning (Flanagan, Nestel, & Joseph, 2004, p. 57).”

24. Fidelity “Fidelity is the extent to which the appearance and behaviour of the simulator/simulation match the appearance and behaviour of the simulated system (p. 23).” Maran, N. J., & Glavin, R. J. (2003). Low- to high-fidelity simulation - A continuum of medical education? Medical Education, 37 22-28.

25. Fidelity Low-fidelity simulators are focused on single skills and permit learners to practice in isolation. Medium-fidelity simulators provide a more realistic representation but lack sufficient cues for the learner to be fully immersed in the situation. High-fidelity simulators provide adequate cues to allow for full immersion and respond to treatment interventions. Yaeger, K. A., Halamek, L. P., Coyle, M., Murphy, A., Anderson, J., Boyle, K., et al. (2004). High-fidelity simulation-based training in neonatal nursing. Advances in Neonatal Care, 4, 326-331.

26. Fidelity a “system that presents a fully interactive patient and an appropriate clinical work environment (p. i5).” Gaba, D. (2004). The future vision of simulation in health care. Quality and Safety in Health Care, 13, i2-i10.
