Simulation 9 Step Process 1. Identify the need. 2. Identify all the players. 3. Develop the measurable goals. 4. Determine the environment. 5. Understand the technology. 6. Develop & validate the scenario. 7. Implement the scenario. 8. Analyze the data & debrief. 9. Did you solve the problem? (Reflect)
All humans make mistakes. Healthcare workers are human. Healthcare workers make mistakes. ~ Dr. Meera Kelley
Identify the Problem • Define objectives and goals. • What are the areas of concern? • What do you hope to accomplish? • What options are available? • What have you tried? Results? • Is funding available?
Identify the Players • Who are the stakeholders? • Community or in house? • Single discipline or multiple? • Who does the problem effect (directly or indirectly)? • Is the problem small or big?
Develop the measurable goals • Outlines a purpose. • • Look for measurable processes. • • Defines educations role. • • Insures all pertinent information is being passed on. • • Allows for a formalized debriefing process to be developed.
Understanding the environment • What group of clinical professional are your target? • Scope of Practice or Service? • Do you have all of the necessary equipment? • Alter measurable processes…
Understanding the technology • Physiology Model or Instructor Driven • Computer Game vs. human sim • Haptic • 3D immersive or Wii?
3 Event Scenario • Pre-Event Briefing • Event Management • Post-Event Review (Debriefing)
Types of Simulations • Computer-Based Simulation • Haptic Simulation w/ Haptic Simulators • Virtual Reality Simulation (Full Immersion Simulation) • Full Body Simulation • Standardized Patients
Types of Simulators • Partial Task Physical Trainers • Haptic Simulators • Full Body Simulators – Instructor driven Simulators – Physiologic Model driven Simulators
Develop & validate the scenario • After developing goals and objectives. • Translate real world situations. • Have a process for testing / evaluating the scenario
Implement the scenario • Have the learners work through the case. • No interruptions… • Be safe. • Have a program facilitator watch and grade.
Simulation Rules of EngagementCode of Conduct • Patient is real • No torpedoes / bombs • Support only when requested • Never discuss performance outside the simulation / debriefing
Debriefing Rules of Engagement Code of Conduct • Follow “Initial Goals and Objectives” • Maintain Privacy • Follow Adult Learning Principals • Have a backup plan – (In case of a change in the participants behavior or actions that need to be addressed) • Be open to changes in the Sim
Analyze the data & debrief • Facilitate a discussion on the experience. • Provide information on their performance. • Site examples. • Utilize video recordings to reflect and reinforce. • Discuss – Discuss – Discuss
DEBRIEFING “Feedback that enhances learning.”
Debriefing Objectives • Reflective learning • Focus on performance, not performer • Safe environment to express feelings and ask questions • Link what has been learned in the simulated setting to the “real world”
Video of Simulation for Debriefing • Students must know in advance that they are being videotaped how it will be used and when it will be erased • Signed permissions • Should you erase the tape after the debriefing? • If kept for viewing by others, permission needs to be provided by students
Video Debriefing • Tag a moment for instant return – Mark a situational event – Flag for review • Annotate points in time – Text and Audio notes
Successful Simulation Debriefing • Improves communication (SBAR) • Improves team work skills • Improves awareness through clarity of roles/responsibilities • Improves information sharing • Eliminates barriers to quality and safety • Increases positive outcomes • Reduces errors • Creates a culture of safety
Successful Simulation Debriefing cont…. • Examine the entire simulation process. • Obtain feedback from the students, instructors, and operators. • Examine how the simulation impacted the program. Was the original problem solved? • Did you change any process or a step within the entire process?
Simulation Opportunities • Collaborate with other departments • Look for partnerships • Apply for grants (NIH, AHRQ,NLN) • Mass Casualties…how many organizations are present? • Who is impacted? • Join a consortium… • Share your experience
Integration Simulation • EMS • LVN • ADN • Rad Tech • Surg Tech • Respiratory Therapy • Fire Science • Vet Tech • Dental Hygiene • Others…..
Integration Simulation cont… • Know each programs capabilities • Coordinate objectives together • Allow students to help write the scenarios • Purchase equipment together
Obstacles….. • The Nay Sayers • Be prepared to explain to others how their students can play in • Over come resistance of integration • May need to ask what other do so that you know how they can play in to simulation. • MONEY!!! • In house champions • Buy In (bottom to top or top to bottom?)
Review • Discussed the components necessary toplan and facilitate multi-disciplinarytraining using simulation • Discuss relevant opportunities formulti-disciplinary training. • Discuss obstacles for multidisciplinarytraining and potential solutions to overcome those barriers.
