Enhancing New Graduate Nurse Performance in Rapid Response Teams with Nursing Simulation There is substantial literature about New Graduate Nurses (NGN’s) perceptions of readiness for code blue management or their perceived comfort level in recognizing and responding to a change in patient condition. However, there is minimal quantitative data available on the outcomes for simulation-based training for code blue responses. There is a paucity in literature describing interventions that incorporate assessment such as Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCE). The purpose of the study is to address a gap in knowledge concerning new graduate nurses’ perceptions of their comfort and confidence levels when participating in a rapid response or code. The study will also provide quantitative and qualitative data on the effect of simulation on the NGN’s ability to recognize, respond to and deploy a rapid response or code. The quasi-experimental mixed methods study will employ the use of a standardized high-fidelity simulation activity and Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) with a pre-/posttest. Data analysis will consist of quantitative statistical analysis and Naturalistic Inquiry methods to obtain qualitative data. Guided interviews with semi-structured, open-ended questions will be utilized. Participant responses will be recorded and transcribed. The team will be scored as a group for the simulation performance while individual competence will be assessed via a brief questionnaire at the end of the simulation. The OSCE will be evaluated according to a rubric/checklist utilizing binary scoring of pass/fail and participant score on resuscitation quality utilizing video capture and simulation software. The theoretical framework of interest is Erickson’s Role Modeling and Benner’s Novice to Expert theory. The debriefing model used was the Advocacy-Inquiry Method to encourage self-reflection of learner actions. The justification for the selected study design is that the pre-/posttest with an intervention can detect effect or causality. The population of study is new graduate nurses currently in orientation or residency programs. Results 80 students participated in the study. There was a statistically significant difference between pre-/post scores (p-value <0.001). There was an improved recognition of patient decline among new graduate nurses post nursing simulation activity. Evaluate resuscitation quality in new graduate nurses using nursing simulation. Integrate and apply organizational policy and procedures during simulated nursing activities. Describe best practices through academic discourse among healthcare simulationists.

Replacing Traditional Clinical Rotations with Nursing Simulation A groundbreaking study done in the USA provided empirical evidence that substituting high-quality simulation-based experiences for up to 50% of traditional clinical hours was just as effective in providing learners with requisite knowledge and skills students would need upon graduation (Hayden, Keegan, Kardong-Edgren, & Smiley, 2014). In simulated based learning, learners work on complex problems in controlled environments that mimic real word scenarios (Lateef, 2010). Simulation-based education (SBE) is used in healthcare to facilitate students’ acquisition knowledge and skills through working with ‘ex-vivo’ patients in controlled safe learning environments without compromising the safety of real patients (Alinier & Oriot, 2022; Alinier & Platt, 2014; Aqel & Ahmad, 2014; Shin, Park & Kim, 2015). Our project replaced 25% of clinical hours in medicine and surgery with simulations in a practical nursing program. A total of 22 students and their 3 instructors participated in this project. Evidence based approach was used throughout the design and implementation of the project to make sure that learning outcomes were met without compromising the quality of students’ learning. We documented the process of instructor training, curriculum development, implementation and feedback from students, staff and instructors. The project’s main purpose was to explore ways of addressing three important issues: The modalities of simulation included medium to high-fidelity manikins (16%), standardized patients (SPs) (6%) and virtual reality (3%). EDI learning opportunities were woven into relevant scenarios. Students and instructor feedback shows that learners gained confidence, practiced skills they would not have encountered in traditional clinical, learnt the importance of critical reflective practice, collaboration, problem solving skills and resolving issues related to equity diversity and inclusion. The learnings from this project are being used to scale up the simulated based learning by replacing 50% of traditional clinical hours in continuing care for the internationally trained nurses that is currently running. The following academic year we will take these learnings and scale to over 400 students per semester at 25% replacement. Our presentation will focus on the disruption of traditional clinical students’ experiences and the relearning process of new pedagogical strategies in nurse education. We will outline the pre-implementation activities, implementation process, the outcomes of the project and what we learned as discussion the way forward. Understand how replacing clinical education rotation hours with nursing simulation as an approach can enhance clinical learning outcomes. Understand what steps were taken, logistics, and operational resources were used to execute replacing clinical hours with healthcare simulation. Apply these learnings from the presentation to the participant’s organization, to initiate or build on replacing clinical rotation hours with clinical simulation activities.

Maximizing High Fidelity Trauma Simulators in MASCAL Exercises Operations-based Mass Casualty (MASCAL) trauma simulation exercises are a common occurrence in EMS and military training. Frequently complex training operations, these MCI training exercises usually rely on role players with minimal integration of high-fidelity manikins. The reasons are many. Moulaged role players are realistic and flexible with fluid situations. Beyond that, most high-fidelity manikins are too fragile to leave the clinical training room and too complicated to operate on the fly. A drawback of role players is the challenge of performing lifesaving procedures realistically and objectively measuring care through the treatment and evacuation chain. This seminar will share MASCAL planning resources and discuss micro simulations within MASCAL events designed to truly test and measure participant performance with high fidelity human patient simulators. Learners will be introduced to the SORT methodology for planning simulations, a rapid, simple process to develop simulation pedagogy quickly and effectively Analyze MASCAL learning objectives at the macro and micro level and identify learning opportunities through medical simulation. Learn the SORT method to develop trauma simulations. Apply SORT within a larger MASCAL Scenario to create a micro-simulation against defined objectives.

Reflective Healthcare Simulation Feedback Techniques for Standardized Patients Feedback is arguably the most impactful, key component of the work Simulated Patients aka Standardized Patients (SPs) contribute to healthcare simulation. How do we ensure we are meeting the standards of best practice regarding feedback? Research on successful SP feedback training techniques is limited, and the adoption of active methodologies is still low. We have chosen to transition away from feedback structures, such as the popular “feedback sandwich,” which Simulated Participants reported finding limiting and less authentic. The Reflective Feedback Technique (RFT) was created by modifications to Wiggins’ Seven Keys to Effective Feedback to suit the needs of simulation-based education. A process for continuous training improvements for SP’s established quality and efficacy in the verbal feedback components, followed by an ongoing training strategy focused on self-reflection that references John Hattie’s Visible Learning. These ideals also informed the creation of a post-encounter feedback reflection survey for quality assurance. A survey of 60+ SPs revealed all felt more confident and comfortable to give verbal feedback to learners under these new guidelines. SPs reported success with transparent, collaborative, learner-led feedback sessions. Additionally, results revealed the faculty’s learning objectives and more directly met the individual needs of each learner. Faculty tracked and provided continual improvement in the quality of these feedback sessions with post-encounter reflection surveys. This new feedback technique led to greater educational outcomes for learners and more effective feedback discussions for SPs. Many of our SPs work at multiple institutions and report increased certainty in impactful feedback sessions under this format. Moreover, SPs believe they facilitated these sessions with greater confidence and created more positive experiences through this reflection method. Summarize ways to train Standardized Patients to provide more impactful feedback. Identify ways to reduce cognitive load for Simulated Patients. State how to provide more individualized SP feedback sessions for clinical learners.

Hospital at Home: Development of New Care Model for Medical Simulation About: This CE webinar will host an interprofessional panel who will discuss their collaborative effort to use medical simulation to validate workflows and identify latent safety threats before implementing a new Hospital at Home program that provides acute hospital care in a patient’s home. The interdisciplinary panel of speakers will discuss their experience of using system-focused simulation to test the quality and safety of a new and complex clinical care model, Hospital at Home, in the pre-implementation phase. Hospital at Home is an innovative care model providing hospital-level care in the patient’s home, which allows eligible patients to receive acute care and recover in the comfort of their homes. It entails many of the same care processes occurring in the brick and mortal hospital, including clinician visits, vital signs, lab and diagnostic studies, medications, auxiliary therapies, and meals. In essence, this entailed developing a new hospital system outside the hospital, inclusive of the workflows, communication patterns, information technology infrastructure and care processes. A large interdisciplinary effort was undertaken to delineate the processes and best workflows from entry into the program through discharge. Kaizen events, steering committee meetings, and patient-centered focus groups drove the creation of the standard work. Upon creation of the standard work, several tabletop simulations were conducted to confirm the appropriate processes and personnel, and identify potential system stress-points. This was then followed by “Day in The Life” (DiTL) simulations that included realistic scenarios with simulated patients and were designed to (1) validate and test – equipment, communication, procedures, and workflows and (2) discover – latent safety threats, resolutions to issues, opportunities to optimize quality of care and patient safety. Simulations encompassed the Hospital at Home process by beginning with patient eligibility and consent, the hospital stay, transitioning to home, care at home as a Hospital at Home patient and lastly discharge. Each simulation had participants in-person and via Zoom with members from the full interprofessional team (e.g., nursing, physicians, pharmacists, social workers, home nursing) and the hospital system team (e.g., IT, supply chain, pharmacy, operational excellence, simulation). Throughout the phases of the Hospital at Home program, the teams participated in focused interval debriefs centered on the SEIPS 2.0 (Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety) human factors framework. The debriefs culminated in approximately 120 opportunities for improvement that were then triaged by criticality and importance to be addressed longitudinally. Following the simulated sessions, the clinical team was equipped with valuable insights that significantly improved readiness to enroll the first patient in the Hospital at Home program. The team analyzed the outcomes, feedback, and learning points from the simulations and promptly integrated them into protocols and procedures. This involved refining the patient enrollment approach, fine-tuning equipment use, honing emergency response protocols, and enhancing interpersonal communication strategies to ensure a patient-centric approach. By learning from the simulated experiences, the team created a more robust and effective system, significantly reducing the potential for errors or mishaps. As a result, the team members were more confident in their ability to provide acute hospital-level care at home and better prepared to meet the unique needs and preferences of the first patient in the program. This iterative learning process ultimately elevated the standard of care provided, optimizing the patient experience from the get-go. Characterize the integration of simulation into a multidisciplinary effort for the development of a new clinical care model. Describe the collaborative use of simulation and operational excellence programs in the pre-implementation testing of the new Hospital at Home program. Demonstrate the impact of using the collective approaches of systems-focused simulation and operational excellence on process design and improvement, patient safety, and care delivery for new clinical models

Transforming VR Clinical Education with the Cognitive Affective Model in Immersive Learning The Cognitive Affective Model of Immersive Learning (CAMIL) provides a theoretical framework to understand and optimize learning within immersive virtual reality (IVR) environments. CAMIL clarifies how learning occurs in IVR by highlighting the psychological affordances of presence and agency. CAMIL identifies six key affective and cognitive factors influencing IVR learning: interest, motivation, self-efficacy, embodiment, cognitive load, and self-regulation. By understanding and manipulating these factors, educators can foster the acquisition of factual, conceptual, and procedural knowledge and improve knowledge transfer. This presentation aims to give attendees an understanding of CAMIL, its components, and its implications for designing IVR-based learning experiences. The presentation will explore leveraging the model’s insights to enhance educational outcomes, ensuring that IVR environments are engaging and educationally effective. References Frederiksen, J.

Establishing a shared meaning within the team through open, collaborative discussions is crucial to align common definitions and understandings of competency and clinical simulation. The presenters will highlight the importance of creating a shared understanding of competency and assessment among healthcare professionals, emphasizing the need for interprofessional collaboration to break down barriers. Variations in the language of competency and assessment exist across healthcare disciplines (Buleon et al., 2022), and it is essential for healthcare simulation teams to appreciate these different perspectives and use evidence-based practices to guide the implementation of medical simulation-based assessment strategies. The presenters will discuss how professionals can develop a holistic understanding of competency, integrating diverse lenses to enhance interprofessional practice and improve patient outcomes. Accurate competency assessment is vital for healthcare professionals to provide safe patient care. The panel will review Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) for standardized evaluations (Lioce et al., 2020) and discuss various assessment modalities, including summative, formative, and high-stakes assessments. Each serves a distinct purpose in measuring learner competency, with summative assessments evaluating specific competencies, formative assessments assessing if learning objectives are met, and high-stakes assessments determining major outcomes like course passing (Lioce et al., 2020). Choosing appropriate simulation modalities depends on learning objectives, resources, and desired competency evaluations. Effective clinical simulation modalities include standardized patients (SPs) for communication and interpersonal skills, task trainers for specific skills, and virtual/extended reality (VR/XR) for immersive environments. Mannequins provide a controlled, realistic setting for a variety of competencies. Assessments should also consider essential attributes like communication skills, critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and professionalism to ensure comprehensive competency evaluation. This presentation will provide a comprehensive exploration of the role of healthcare simulation in competency-based education for healthcare professionals. By fostering a shared understanding of competency and assessment through collaborative discussions and interactive activities, attendees will gain valuable insights into the effective integration of various healthcare simulation modalities. This knowledge will ultimately enhance interprofessional practice and improve patient outcomes, equipping healthcare professionals with the tools needed for accurate competency assessment and safe patient care.
