The Creative Art Form of Healthcare Simulation: Increasing Realism & Outcomes A healthcare simulation technician (HST) is a multifaceted role that relies on a broad range of knowledge. The addition of a healthcare simulation technician (HST) to a simulation-based healthcare education team can have a positive impact on the team’s ability to deliver quality simulations. A simulation technician typically has a core set of responsibilities such as event setup and breakdown, cleaning and evaluating any equipment used during the simulation, audiovisual support for courses, and any on-site simulator maintenance. Outside of these core responsibilities, HST’s engage in many other responsibilities based on the type of center and the programs supported by that center. However, identifying the training needs of HSTs is hampered by a lack of a clear understanding of the competency requirements of the role. A survey of simulation center directors found that only 2% of respondents found adequately qualified HSTs from an application pool. Creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, agility, and flexibility are just some of the characteristics ideal for a HST position and propose that hiring an artist or creative, and building an organizational culture that allows time and space conducive to creativity, innovation and on the job training has the potential to shape the Sim Tech position according to the needs of the simulation education team while also developing the individual professionally. The presenter will share several modifications, methods, best practices, innovations and work arounds developed during his journey as a simulation technician and creative specialist and how a background in the arts helped pave the way to a Master of science in healthcare simulation. Identity the knowledge, skills and attitude competencies conducive to success as a simulation technician candidate for your education team.

Transformative Healthcare Simulation: 7 Layers of Change This CE webinar is hosted by leadership of the Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH) Transformative Simulation Special-Interest-Group (SIG). Transformative forms of healthcare simulation are happening globally. The potential to transform health and care is wide and varied through clinical simulation, yet our understanding is fragmented. Ultimately, this growing body of work and area of interest need an umbrella term and clear special definitions to guide and develop the field both in practice and research. Therefore, the term ‘transformative simulation’ was developed to describe clinical simulation as a tool to transform health and care through collective understanding, insight and learning, and to distinguish the practice from the more traditional educational/pedagogical approaches that are more commonly practiced, or from specific system-focussed applications only. This CE webinar will introduce the Transformative Simulation concept taxonomy alongside the seven simulation-based I’s based on the medical simulation literature, which include: The presenters will demonstrate how the seven SBI’s can be applied, take a deep dive into what we do know and question what the simulated healthcare training community needs to do to advance the concept and understanding of methodology further.

Replacing Traditional Clinical Rotations with Nursing Simulation A groundbreaking study done in the USA provided empirical evidence that substituting high-quality simulation-based experiences for up to 50% of traditional clinical hours was just as effective in providing learners with requisite knowledge and skills students would need upon graduation (Hayden, Keegan, Kardong-Edgren, & Smiley, 2014). In simulated based learning, learners work on complex problems in controlled environments that mimic real word scenarios (Lateef, 2010). Simulation-based education (SBE) is used in healthcare to facilitate students’ acquisition knowledge and skills through working with ‘ex-vivo’ patients in controlled safe learning environments without compromising the safety of real patients (Alinier & Oriot, 2022; Alinier & Platt, 2014; Aqel & Ahmad, 2014; Shin, Park & Kim, 2015). Our project replaced 25% of clinical hours in medicine and surgery with simulations in a practical nursing program. A total of 22 students and their 3 instructors participated in this project. Evidence based approach was used throughout the design and implementation of the project to make sure that learning outcomes were met without compromising the quality of students’ learning. We documented the process of instructor training, curriculum development, implementation and feedback from students, staff and instructors. The project’s main purpose was to explore ways of addressing three important issues: The modalities of simulation included medium to high-fidelity manikins (16%), standardized patients (SPs) (6%) and virtual reality (3%). EDI learning opportunities were woven into relevant scenarios. Students and instructor feedback shows that learners gained confidence, practiced skills they would not have encountered in traditional clinical, learnt the importance of critical reflective practice, collaboration, problem solving skills and resolving issues related to equity diversity and inclusion. The learnings from this project are being used to scale up the simulated based learning by replacing 50% of traditional clinical hours in continuing care for the internationally trained nurses that is currently running. The following academic year we will take these learnings and scale to over 400 students per semester at 25% replacement. Our presentation will focus on the disruption of traditional clinical students’ experiences and the relearning process of new pedagogical strategies in nurse education. We will outline the pre-implementation activities, implementation process, the outcomes of the project and what we learned as discussion the way forward. Understand how replacing clinical education rotation hours with nursing simulation as an approach can enhance clinical learning outcomes. Understand what steps were taken, logistics, and operational resources were used to execute replacing clinical hours with healthcare simulation. Apply these learnings from the presentation to the participant’s organization, to initiate or build on replacing clinical rotation hours with clinical simulation activities.

Maximizing High Fidelity Trauma Simulators in MASCAL Exercises Operations-based Mass Casualty (MASCAL) trauma simulation exercises are a common occurrence in EMS and military training. Frequently complex training operations, these MCI training exercises usually rely on role players with minimal integration of high-fidelity manikins. The reasons are many. Moulaged role players are realistic and flexible with fluid situations. Beyond that, most high-fidelity manikins are too fragile to leave the clinical training room and too complicated to operate on the fly. A drawback of role players is the challenge of performing lifesaving procedures realistically and objectively measuring care through the treatment and evacuation chain. This seminar will share MASCAL planning resources and discuss micro simulations within MASCAL events designed to truly test and measure participant performance with high fidelity human patient simulators. Learners will be introduced to the SORT methodology for planning simulations, a rapid, simple process to develop simulation pedagogy quickly and effectively Analyze MASCAL learning objectives at the macro and micro level and identify learning opportunities through medical simulation.

Overcoming Obstacles to Trauma Simulation Trauma is a leading cause of death in people under the age of 45 and fourth leading cause of death overall for all ages.1 The American College of Surgeons has created several course geared to advance trauma practice not only in the U.S. but globally.2 In this CE/CME webinar, Dr Luis Llerena will discuss valuable simulation methodology used to enhance trauma training while adhering to adult learning theory. Malcolm Knowles developed the concept of Adult Learning Theory in 1973.3 This theory holds that adults learn by having engagement and respect during training. Specific trauma courses presented at one major university simulation center will serve as the example. The specific trauma courses discussed will be the following: Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), Advanced Trauma Operative Management (ATOM), Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma (ASSET), Trauma Team training, In situ training, and Disaster course. These courses faced significant obstacles to learner groups, instructors, and deployment. This webinar will describe solutions that were implanted. References: Define adult learning theory as it pertains to designing trauma simulation training. Discuss best practice for simulation design. Describe specific strategies to overcome learner, instructor, and system obstacles common to trauma courses.

Hospital at Home: Development of New Care Model for Medical Simulation About: This CE webinar will host an interprofessional panel who will discuss their collaborative effort to use medical simulation to validate workflows and identify latent safety threats before implementing a new Hospital at Home program that provides acute hospital care in a patient’s home. The interdisciplinary panel of speakers will discuss their experience of using system-focused simulation to test the quality and safety of a new and complex clinical care model, Hospital at Home, in the pre-implementation phase. Hospital at Home is an innovative care model providing hospital-level care in the patient’s home, which allows eligible patients to receive acute care and recover in the comfort of their homes. It entails many of the same care processes occurring in the brick and mortal hospital, including clinician visits, vital signs, lab and diagnostic studies, medications, auxiliary therapies, and meals. In essence, this entailed developing a new hospital system outside the hospital, inclusive of the workflows, communication patterns, information technology infrastructure and care processes. A large interdisciplinary effort was undertaken to delineate the processes and best workflows from entry into the program through discharge. Kaizen events, steering committee meetings, and patient-centered focus groups drove the creation of the standard work. Upon creation of the standard work, several tabletop simulations were conducted to confirm the appropriate processes and personnel, and identify potential system stress-points. This was then followed by “Day in The Life” (DiTL) simulations that included realistic scenarios with simulated patients and were designed to (1) validate and test – equipment, communication, procedures, and workflows and (2) discover – latent safety threats, resolutions to issues, opportunities to optimize quality of care and patient safety. Simulations encompassed the Hospital at Home process by beginning with patient eligibility and consent, the hospital stay, transitioning to home, care at home as a Hospital at Home patient and lastly discharge. Each simulation had participants in-person and via Zoom with members from the full interprofessional team (e.g., nursing, physicians, pharmacists, social workers, home nursing) and the hospital system team (e.g., IT, supply chain, pharmacy, operational excellence, simulation). Throughout the phases of the Hospital at Home program, the teams participated in focused interval debriefs centered on the SEIPS 2.0 (Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety) human factors framework. The debriefs culminated in approximately 120 opportunities for improvement that were then triaged by criticality and importance to be addressed longitudinally. Following the simulated sessions, the clinical team was equipped with valuable insights that significantly improved readiness to enroll the first patient in the Hospital at Home program. The team analyzed the outcomes, feedback, and learning points from the simulations and promptly integrated them into protocols and procedures. This involved refining the patient enrollment approach, fine-tuning equipment use, honing emergency response protocols, and enhancing interpersonal communication strategies to ensure a patient-centric approach. By learning from the simulated experiences, the team created a more robust and effective system, significantly reducing the potential for errors or mishaps. As a result, the team members were more confident in their ability to provide acute hospital-level care at home and better prepared to meet the unique needs and preferences of the first patient in the program. This iterative learning process ultimately elevated the standard of care provided, optimizing the patient experience from the get-go. Characterize the integration of simulation into a multidisciplinary effort for the development of a new clinical care model. Describe the collaborative use of simulation and operational excellence programs in the pre-implementation testing of the new Hospital at Home program. Demonstrate the impact of using the collective approaches of systems-focused simulation and operational excellence on process design and improvement, patient safety, and care delivery for new clinical models
