Planning for Successful Simulation Simulation Planning Guide - A Guided Discussion

What is the Simulation Planning Guide? (SPG) Consultative Planning Process based on an assessment of your Simulation based – Educational strategy and needs.

Simulation Strategy Educational Vision & Goals –Do you have a strategy for simulation? –What best describes current usage / status? –What are your goals? What will education look like in 1 year? 5 years? Where are you in the project cycle? –Going for a grant? / Funded? –Project team in place? –Purchased Equipment but still struggling? Have the key stakeholders been identified? –Who are the decision makers? –Who is running the project? Who is doing the work? (Internal / 3 rd party) –Architects, Contractors, IT & A/V support? –Content (Scenario) Plan? –Staff Education? Simulation Strategy Educational Assessment Scenario Development Facilities Requirements Equipment Needs

Simulation Strategy Where are you today in your adoption of simulation Discovery – Development –Teaching What is working well today? Challenges? What are your plans going forward? –Educational plans – wants & needs… –Not equipment (yet) How do you evaluate outcomes? –Debriefing methods? Long term goals? Research? Simulation Strategy Educational Assessment Scenario Development Facilities Requirements Equipment Needs

Students / Learners Who are the students / learners? –Background –Skill level –Group Size How do you train today? Going forward? What works? Challenges? Goals in regard to students? –Increase capacity –Reduce orientation time –Multidiscipline communications Simulation as part of evaluation? –Measurable objectives –Debriefing methods Simulation Strategy Educational Assessment Scenario Development Facilities Requirements Equipment Needs

Faculty & Support Staff Faculty involved (acceptance) of simulation –Current skill level –How many? –What is working? / Challenges? Plans for education? / Who trains the trainers? Users? / Different departments? –Coordination of center… Support Staff Existing / Plans for Support Staff? –Simulation Specialist –Training Coordinator –Administration Support –IT & A/V Support Simulation Strategy Educational Assessment Scenario Development Facilities Requirements Equipment Needs

Faculty / Instructor Development 1.Design Curriculum / Lesson Plans 2.Develop Course Material Write Materials Write Scenarios Program Scenarios 3.Schedule Rooms, simulators, training materials 4.Maintain and Prepare Simulators / Lab 5.Brief the Learners… Direct the Simulation 6.Run the Simulator 7.Facilitate the Debriefing 8.Grade & Evaluate the Session 9.Administer Course Evaluations 10.Evaluate The Course and Report Outcomes The Staff & Instructors Who is responsible for…? How will you…? What is your training plan for your staff? Simulation Strategy Educational Assessment Scenario Development Facilities Requirements Equipment Needs

Scenario Development Purchase a Curriculum Package –Patient Cases that meet the needs of end user Basic Nurse Education; ACLS; Disaster… –Validated by peers NLN, AHA –Right platform / simulator SimNewB for NeoNatal; SimBaby for PALS Build Your Own –How to Develop & Program –How to Run / Enhance / Debrief Custom Solution –Build to Spec Design Workshop –Modify / Personalize Scenario Packages The best solution maybe a mix of all three Simulation Strategy Educational Assessment Scenario Development Facilities Requirements Equipment Needs

The Business Case for Courseware Course/Scenario development cost analysis: 8 months (minimum) to develop one courseware package 1Establish curriculum leader 2Design scenario 3Expert peer review of scenario 4Revise & program scenario 5Conduct program test with end users 6Revise as needed 7Conduct second program test 8Final sign off Simulation Strategy Educational Assessment Scenario Development Facilities Requirements Equipment Needs

Facilities Assessment Educational Goals drive facilities plans Training area (beds) may be a compromise –Available Floor space –Number of Faculty / Students involved in Simulation –Debriefing method –Resource / Support Areas Control Room Skill Stations Class Rooms Storage A/V Requirements –Focus on Educational Goals & Debriefing Models What do you want to capture in each room? Power / Compressed Air – Driven by Equipment needs Simulation Strategy Educational Assessment Scenario Development Facilities Equipment Needs

Equipment & Services How do you plan to deliver on Education Goals? –Tools (manikins & simulators) required –Support and training needs Support Equipment –Debriefing models drive camera selection & placement –Control Room & Video System Planning and Scheduling Tools Evaluation Tools –Lab pre-work –Capture of learner simulations Simulation Strategy Educational Assessment Scenario Development Facilities Requirements Equipment Needs
