Abstract:
Simulation-based experiences (SBE) have been a fundamental teaching modality in nursing and other healthcare professions for the past two decades, and their use continues to grow. The Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice (HSSOBP) define expectations for simulation educators. Despite the available wealth of information and training, nursing faculty who are new to simulation often struggle to understand and implement these best practice standards (Herlihy, 2022). Current training tends to focus more on defining and describing the best practices outlined in the standards, rather than on their application. This presentation emphasizes the application of HSSOBP: Simulation Design, providing a step-by-step roadmap for new simulationists when developing a simulation-based experience.
Although this webinar does not provide an in-depth review of HSSOBP Scenario Design, attendees will receive a simulation development workbook. The workbook includes a step-by-step guide that walks participants through the process of developing a scenario, detailing each stage. Self-evaluation, including knowledge gaps, can be identified while using the template, providing specifics about the need for further education in healthcare simulation design.
