Clinical simulation is used to improve a set of learner skills, like a prescription developed to treat an illness. However, just like prescriptions have off-label benefits, outside of just the disease they were intended to treat, medical simulation realizes advantages beyond what one can see. This article focuses on bringing the hidden benefits of clinical [...]
In their recent HealthySimulation.com LEARN platform webinar entitled “Exploring Self Debriefing and Group Debriefing in Clinical Simulation” by Merveille Ndondo, BScN, RN, MN and Raquel Lashley-Trambulo, BScN, RN of Ryerson University, the team shared about their team’s powerful research which showed that a self-debriefing event just after the Simulation-based Training (SBT) but just prior to [...]
Healthcare simulation organizations Simulation Canada and Healthcare Systems Simulation International are offering a six-week virtual interactive course on how to harness systems-focused simulation and debriefing to improve patient safety, operational efficiencies and care quality. This course is evidence informed, includes easy-to-use tools and cognitive aids, and provides a clear road map to success. Simulation Canada’s [...]
Evaluating healthcare simulation is a crucial step in ensuring that educators can demonstrate ROI for both learning and program outcomes. Healthcare simulation has proved to be an extremely effective education and training tool across the field of medicine. Due to an increased push toward patient safety many facilities and institutions have been led to revise [...]
