Description: This activity aims to address the gap by providing targeted education to enhance participants' understanding of criteria required for high-quality facilitation, current gaps in research and practice, and opportunities to address those gaps within simulation education settings.

This package includes all four (4) webinars in the series: 

• Key Takeaways from the Updated HSSOBP®: Facilitation
• Implementation of the New HSSOBP®: Prebriefing
• Implementation of the New HSSOBP®: Professional Integrity
• Implementation of the New HSSOBP®: Debriefing

The INACSL Simulation Education Program (ISEP) aligns with the vision, mission and core values of INACSL bringing just-in-time education and best practices to participants. Developed and facilitated by experts in the field, ISEP provides a pathway for novice and intermediate simulation educators, practitioners, and directors to learn and apply evidence-based strategies in simulation. Advanced practitioners will benefit from refinement of skills and best practices in simulation-based education.

ISEP is a comprehensive, online program integrating concepts of simulation and instructional design methodologies into practice with interactive, activity-based, on-line projects. Each of the 12 courses in the program incorporate participant discussion boards and video sessions with facilitators related to specific course projects and assignments. Some courses require participants to work together virtually to complete group projects.

Upon completion of this program, the learner will be able to:

1. Integrate the Standards of Best Practice into curricula to advance the science of simulation;
2. Demonstrate effective simulation design principles to facilitate learner-centered, simulation-based experiences;
3. Generate evaluation strategies to determine the impact on patient, participant and systems outcomes; and
4. Participate in leadership and scholarship activities to advance the science of simulation

The following modules are included: 

• Simulation Design
• Simulation-Enhanced Interprofessional Education
• Professional Development
• Operations
• Outcomes and Objectives
• Evaluation of Learning and Performance

Upon completion of the Advanced Standards of Best Practice, the learner will be able to:

Examine the criteria and required elements of each of the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice^® within their own setting. These areas may include health and social care providers for example a hospital or community setting - Hospice and in a further or higher education institution that supports apprenticeship, undergraduate and post graduate medical, nursing, midwifery and allied healthcare and social care programs.

By integrating these Advanced Standards that contain examples of activities in a variety of settings, this will aide learners to undertake a needs analysis in their setting, analyze their practices, and identify areas of excellence and areas of development. The Advanced Standards of Best Practice provides a range of resources to assist with the creation of a development plan that can implement evidence-based simulation.

Wednesday, February 26th at 12pm - 1pm CT (or find your time zone here)

Description: Simulationists struggle to determine the workload needed to offer high quality simulation, manage human resources, and the ability to advocate for workload to meet the needs of a growing simulation center. After this webinar, participants will have a better understanding of workload and strategies to manage workload at their simulation centers/programs.

Description: Nursing and healthcare simulationists may develop new innovations but not know if they are patentable and if so, how to proceed through the process. Nurses have not typically been involved with patents; however, there are many opportunities for the to do so (Davis & Glasgow, 2020). Participants will understand the basic steps to the patenting process.

CNE: 1.0

Presented by: Nicole Harder, RN, PhD, CHSE, CCSNE

Description: The professional practice gap in the context of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare simulation centers around the need for healthcare professionals to effectively integrate and utilize AI technologies within their simulation activities. The gap lies in the insufficient understanding, knowledge, and practical skills among healthcare professionals regarding the application of AI in simulated healthcare scenarios. This webinar aims to address the gap by providing targeted education to enhance the participants' competence in understanding AI and machine learning, and how to leverage AI tools and technologies within the healthcare simulation setting.

Description: Participants will gain knowledge of how this initiative aims to bridge these gaps by promoting the adoption of globally recognized INACSL standards and the use of culturally responsive simulation. Through culturally responsive simulation-based training, nurses and healthcare professionals in LMICs can gain hands-on experience in accordance with these standards, fostering critical thinking, enhancing clinical competency, and fostering interprofessional collaboration, ultimately leading to improved patient and community outcomes and the elevation of healthcare quality in these regions (Garner et al., 2020; 2023; INACSL, 2021; Ryan et al., 2023; Spies et al, 2017; USAID, 2022). 

CNE: 1.0

The following modules are included: 

• Prebriefing
• Facilitation
• Debriefing
• Professional Integrity

Upon completion of the Cornerstones of Best Practice, the learner will be able to:

• The learner will examine the criteria and required elements of Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice for Core Four Endorsement.
• The learner will reference the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice while analyzing their own simulation program to identify gaps within their program.
• The learner will identify strategies to both integrate and apply the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice within their own simulation program to prepare for Core Four Endorsement.
