What is Clinical Simulation/ Alternative Clinical Education? Standardized patients Virtual patients Digitized manikins Immersive reality Task Trainers Computer-based simulations Council for Clinical Certification, 2016

What does not count as a clinical simulation? Watching videos Observational experiences Students giving tests to each other Council for Clinical Certification, 2016

Steps for Designing Simulations with Success Perform a needs assessment Define learning goals and objectives Select Assessment methods (formative vs. summative) Educate and assess learners using simulations (prebrief) Select evaluation method (rubrics, checklists, instruments, reflections)

Steps for Designing Sims (Cont.) Select your simulation modality and design your simulation event Identify additional resources needed Organize your simulation team Prepare materials for learners and simulation team Conduct simulation pilot activity

Components of Effective Computer-Based Simulations Make reflective decisions Improve critical thinking Include multiple solutions Encourage discussion Provide feedback Develop empathy Train specific skills Include ethical considerations Encourage collaboration Apply knowledge Promote discovery learning Patient-Centered Johnson & Williams, 2016

What does supervision look like for computer-based simulations? Supervision must include a debrief May be synchronous or asynchronous Debrief may be counted as 25% supervision requirement Debrief may be face to face discussion, self-reflection with feedback and/or written self-reflection with feedback You do not have to watch the student complete a computer- based simulation Council for Clinical Certification, 2016

Implementing SimuCase for Hours Supervisory component - supervisors should be available to answer students’ questions. Feedback that SimuCase provides during a case provides supervision Students must receive a competency score of 90% or greater Debrief (may not be included in hours) May have student write a diagnostic report/SOAP note

Prebrief Review the technology Provide students with the referral form for the case to begin planning Let students know how many minutes a case is worth

Provide Feedback Establish an opportunity for students to receive feedback as they attempt to complete a case. Feedback may be given in groups or individually

Debrief “People don’t learn from their experiences. They learn from reflecting on them.” Start with the clinical debrief. Address clinical mistakes or other clinical issues the team brings up. Spend 5-10 minutes. Provide formal thought time for students to recollect, reflect and report How did it go? What did you do well? What could you do better? What will you do differently next time? How would you summarize your experience? What did you learn from your experience?

Using SimuCase as a Remediation Tool Identify student needs and choose specific cases that would be beneficial Establish a baseline score using SimuCase in assessment mode Provide the same structured clinical experience (prebrief, feedback, debrief) Student should receive a competency score of 90% or above
