Just in time… or almost

It's your first day planning your simulation, and the excitement couldn't be greater. You arrive at the office as happy as a lark, but as you step through the door, you notice something strange and out of the ordinary, and everything is silent… There's no one in sight! You approach the receptionist's desk. There's a laptop switched on, and it seems to be waiting for you, as if it had something important to reveal...

Look at the laptop

ONE MOMENT!

Before starting, you need to review the needs assessment for the simulation, so you can implement the standards of best practice without any issues. Where could they be...? Maybe there’s something in the office.

Create a Debriefing or Feedback Session

• Identify the most appropriate debriefing, feedback, or reflective method for the simulation during the design phase.
• May also also include a guided reflection exercise.
• Use a planned debriefing, feedback session, or a guided reflection exercise to enrich learning and contribute to the consistency of the simulation for learners and facilitators.
• Debriefing facilitators should have formal training in debriefing techniques.

Develop a Plan for Evaluation

• Evaluate the learner and the simulation.
• Plan an evaluation process to determine the quality or effectiveness of the simulation.
• Determine the assessment and evaluation processes.
• Ensure participants understand the method of assessment (formative, summative) before or at the onset of the simulation.
• Use evaluation data for continuous quality improvement.
• Include feedback from participants, peer clinicians. educators, stakeholders, and simulationists.

Align Modality with Objectives

• Build the simulation to align the modality with the objectives.
• Develop the simulation format based on the needs assessment, available resources, learning objectives, the targeted learners, and the type of assessment or evaluation method.
• Choose a theoretical and/or conceptual framework.
• Develop simulation experiences to include a starting point, structured learner activities, and an end point.

Plan a Learner Centered Approach

• Plan a learner-centered facilitative approach.
• Driven by the objectives, learners’ knowledge and level of experience, and the expected outcomes.
• Consider facilitators who have formal training in simulation-based pedagogy.
• Incorporate evidence-based components of cultural diversity within the simulation design or scenarios.
• Reference Healthcare Simulationist Code of Ethics re: respect to confidentiality, mutual respect, and creating a safe educational environment.

Pilot Test Simulation

• Pilot test the entire simulation after designing to ensure that it accomplishes its intended purpose, provides opportunity to achieve objectives, and is effective when used with learners.
• Identify any confusing, missing, or underdeveloped elements of the simulation.
• Make improvements based upon the pilot and revise before fully implenting the simulation.

• Convey important information to participants regarding expectations, agendas, and logistics before beginning the simulation (e.g. ground rules).
• Establish a psychologically safe learning environment during the prebriefing.

Use Various Types of Fidelity

• To create the required perception of realism.
• Attention to physical, conceptual, and psychological aspects of fidelity that can contribute to the attaining objectives.
• Less about specific “reality” and instead focus on representing stimuli and cues that would typically be present to drive decision-making and action.
• Use moulage to replicate features or characteristics of the patient situation and when possible.
