  7. What is meant by “practical” simulation in Healthcare? • Simulation as a teaching methodology that takes advantage of simulator tools where diverse and large numbers of Healthcare students and practitioners have individual and group access to training. • Healthcare teachers with reasonable training can adopt simulation training methodologies rapidly. • The “value” of using simulation justifies the capital, operating and indirect costs associated with it.

  9. MUSC Healthcare Simulation Center • 11,000 sq ft training space, 15 available training rms. • Stake holders: All Colleges & Medical Center • Opened June 2008 • Activities 2008-09: • 70 course • 9,000 student encounters • 6,000 full scale simulations • 2,000 task trainer simulations • 70 faculty involved in simulation Focus will be on simulation methodology critical to achieving success!

  10. Simulation Center Capital Costs Example: Large Center: Size: 11,000 sq ft facility Capital Costs: Renovation ~ $1,566,353 Simulation equip. ~ $810,000 AV equipment ~ $300,638 Computers ~ $206,500 Other ~ $25,000 Total: ~ $2,908,491 Average capital cost / sq. ft ~ $250

  12. Typical busy week’s schedule Focus will be on simulation methodology critical to achieving success!

  13. Advocacy based funding: “The concept seems valuable-- so I’ll pay” Generates “enthusiasm” but is harder to translate into $ Difficult to sustain “Fickle/Vulnerable” to change Value based funding: “The results of training—are valuable--- so I’ll pay” “The training cost $ you save us is worth what we pay you--- so I’ll pay” “The malpractice cost $ you save us is worth what we pay you--- so I’ll pay” Advocacy vs. Value based funding: Focus will be on simulation methodology critical to achieving value!

  14. Value Model (which is the basis of what a stakeholder is paying for): Value from the viewpoint of those funding medical simulation commonly falls into at least four forms: • Utilization: • # students trained • # courses delivered • # faculty involved • Measured Educational Value: • Subjective evaluations • Objective evaluations • Peer reviewed publications • Non-peer reviewed publications • Grant dollars generated • Financial Educational Value: • Indirect dollar savings (Malpractice Costs) • Direct dollar generation or savings (Save direct training dollars) • Public Relations Value: • Recruitment • Referrals to Health System • Fund Raisers • Others

  17. Competent Facilitator (runs own simulator) Lower cost per student Student self training or 1 facilitator with multiple sim. activities Low cost Range of HealthCare Simulation Operational Use: This is what we have been doing since 2002--- Most Users are here--- We do some of this now too-- Expert Instructor, Expert Simulator Operator High Costs per student Complexity of operating simulator & Teaching Utilization of Simulation-based Education Methods

  18. Current “Expert” Instructor/Sim Operator approach Expert Curriculum/Scenario, Competent Facilitator Model Expert Instructor Expert Sim. Operator Competent Facilitator Competent Facilitator Competent Facilitator Practical Simulation • Simulator predominantly in manual mode or scenario (3G) is modified on the fly • Limited “Objective” educational outcomes • Utilization is severely limited by limited # of “Expert” Instructors and “Expert” simulator operators • Simulator only running a scenario with a specific set of objectives with grading and feedback • Extensive “Objective” educational outcomes • Utilization is significantly increased because competent Facilitator training threshold is lowered Small grp. exercises

  19. And in some cases Competent Supervisor • Simulator only running a scenario with a specific set of objectives with grading and feedback and operated by trainees • Extensive “Objective” educational outcomes • Utilization is maximized because complexity of operation threshold is lowered to the point that trainees can learn to run a scenario in minutes. Student independent learning Student independent learning Student independent learning Student independent learning Note: until this level is achieved, using simulation requires more “Instructors” than traditional educational methods though many believe simulation decreases the need.

  20. What does not work well-- • Manually adjusting the simulator “on the fly” to create a case that tracks with training objectives can only be done by a highly trained operator (even with a script). • Simultaneous paper and pencil or electronic evaluation with some type of evaluation form while you are also running a simulator (this requires concentration) is generally impractical. • “Non-structured Debriefing”. While some people have been formally trained as educators, most Healthcare providers that teach are not.

  21. With “manual” operation of the simulator, you have to teach a teacher to competently run this GUI with enough expertise to create “Human Reactions” in real time while watching the trainees:

  22. What does work pretty well-- • Pre-course participant preparation through studying online curricula based on “adult learning” principles. • With just about any simulation training exercise, the facilitator has immediately available well designed curricula to support standardization (usually web-based) with less time in training of the trainer. • The simulation exercise uses a well designed, pre-programmed simulation scenario run by the facilitator (teacher). This scenario incorporates semi-automated evaluation of key educational objectives embedded in the scenario that are automatically flagged for focused feedback specific to the individual or group’s performance and additionally supports standardization of the whole evaluation/feedback process. • The facilitator then uses this debriefing file as a preliminary educational diagnosis that when coupled with a standardized “reflection” process leads to a focused, standardized (yet individually specific) learning encounter with the student.

  23. With a well programmed scenario, a teacher (or student) only has to accurately run this- Bag-Mask competency skill scenario BP assessment practice skill scenario Nursing Critical Care Assessment Training scenario Anesthesia Difficult Airway Management Competency scenario LMA skill competency scenario Nursing Med Surg Training scenario Trauma Assessment Demo scenario

  24. With a well programmed scenario, physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacodynamics, seizures, airway obstruction, etc. are pre-programmed With selection of “Standard induction of general anesthesia”, apnea, airway obstruction, hypoxic physiology automatically occur

  25. Multimedia can be embedded in a programmed scenario to: • Present simulation “case stem”

  26. Multimedia can be embedded in a programmed scenario to: • Diagnostic information: labs, EKGs, X-rays, videos—ECHO, ultrasounds Choosing a menu item here returns a set of Physician orders on the monitor

  27. Multimedia can be embedded in a programmed scenario to: • Clinical signs & symptoms (as a picture, sound, movie or document that is presented on the monitor) that the actual simulator can’t otherwise emulate.

  28. Multimedia can be embedded in a programmed scenario to: • Standardized debriefing cues during the simulation that automatically appear on the monitor.

  29. Multimedia can be embedded in a programmed scenario to: • Scenario support info.: i.e. equipment list, equipment layout & QA, instructions, etc.
