Patient simulators are an essential tool for simulation-based education and training in healthcare. However, most patient simulators lack the ability to speak and communicate with the learners, which limits the realism and immersion of the simulation scenarios. SimVox is the smart speaker for your simulator that leverages generative AI to act as the voice of patient simulators. SimVox can generate realistic and natural speech for any patient simulator, based on the patient’s condition, symptoms, emotions, and personality. SimVox can respond to the learners’ questions and comments, and provide feedback and guidance during the simulation. With SimVox, you can either run included patient scenarios that cover a wide range of clinical situations and domains, or create your own scenarios by providing a patient concept document that describes the patient’s profile, history and diagnosis. SimVox will then generate the speech and dialogue for the patient simulator based on the concept document. In this webinar, you will learn how to use SimVox to enable your patient simulators to speak on their own, and how to create and run your own scenarios with SimVox. You will also see some demonstrations of SimVox in action. Join us for this webinar and discover how SimVox is the new smart speaker that can transform your simulation experience. Learning Objectives: Integrate SimVox with your existing simulation hardware and software and run your scenarios smoothly and efficiently. Create your own patient concept documents and use them to customize your simulation scenarios with SimVox. Use SimVox to generate and voice realistic patient scenarios for any patient simulator.

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. Abstract: 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. Learning Objectives: 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

Educators must explore strategies for designing, mapping, and implementing clinical simulations into an academic nursing program to meet the overall course and program outcomes. As nursing transitions into a competency-based educational program, the need to capture and document each student’s competencies is imperative. Designing the simulations with SMART objectives aligns with the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice (2021). Each simulation’s objectives can then be mapped into a document to capture when, where, and the level of the student over an entire academic program. The objectives and skills can then be correlated with AACN Core Competencies and the overall program outcomes. This webinar will provide examples of mapping psychomotor skills labs and simulations across an undergraduate BSN curriculum to provide a roadmap for a complete view of the program.

This CE webinar is hosted by leadership of the Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH) Transformative Simulation Special-Interest-Group (SIG). Transformative forms of healthcare simulation are happening globally. The potential to transform health and care is wide and varied through clinical simulation, yet our understanding is fragmented. Ultimately, this growing body of work and area of interest need an umbrella term and clear special definitions to guide and develop the field both in practice and research. Therefore, the term ‘transformative simulation’ was developed to describe clinical simulation as a tool to transform health and care through collective understanding, insight and learning, and to distinguish the practice from the more traditional educational/pedagogical approaches that are more commonly practiced, or from specific system-focussed applications only. This CE webinar will introduce the Transformative Simulation concept taxonomy alongside the seven simulation-based I’s based on the medical simulation literature, which include: Innovation Improvement Intervention Involvement Identification Inclusion Influence The presenters will demonstrate how the seven SBI’s can be applied, take a deep dive into what we do know and question what the simulated healthcare training community needs to do to advance the concept and understanding of methodology further.

Healthcare is a dynamic field with ever-evolving complexities, demanding simulation-based professionals to stay abreast of technological advancements, evolving practices, and enhanced understanding for optimal patient-centric care. The healthcare simulationist, whether in an educational or an operational position, plays a pivotal role within the interdisciplinary care team. Currently, there is a void in structured professional development for healthcare simulationsist, although it is imperative to equip simulationsist with the necessary education and training to enhance the quality and validity of simulation-based education (Nestel, et al., 2016). This CE webinar will share the presenter’s created tool which acts as a roadmap for individuals entering an entry-level position, providing a path for professional development and promotional opportunities within a simulation center or career advancement. Furthermore, experienced simulationists can utilize this tool to identify the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for their ongoing professional development and career progression. Additionally, by improving their clinical simulation knowledge and skillsets, clinical simulation educators and staff members can improve the clinical learning and training outcomes of simulation participants. This instrument leverages Discovery, Growth, and Maturity stages to guide individuals through each professional development criterion. Each stage encompasses foundational areas of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, accompanied by suggested activities that progressively build upon the elements of the preceding stage, meeting the standards outlined in the HSSBP: Professional Development. Learning Objectives: Learn how the professional development of clinical simulation educators and staff can improve clinical learning and training outcomes. List the foundational stages of the scaffold approach professional development tool for the education and operation medical simulation position. Discuss the three necessary criteria for the simulationist to fulfill the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice: Professional Development.

A healthcare simulation technician (HST) is a multifaceted role that relies on a broad range of knowledge. The addition of a healthcare simulation technician (HST) to a simulation-based healthcare education team can have a positive impact on the team’s ability to deliver quality simulations. A simulation technician typically has a core set of responsibilities such as event setup and breakdown, cleaning and evaluating any equipment used during the simulation, audiovisual support for courses, and any on-site simulator maintenance. Outside of these core responsibilities, HST’s engage in many other responsibilities based on the type of center and the programs supported by that center. However, identifying the training needs of HSTs is hampered by a lack of a clear understanding of the competency requirements of the role. A survey of simulation center directors found that only 2% of respondents found adequately qualified HSTs from an application pool. Creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, agility, and flexibility are just some of the characteristics ideal for a HST position and propose that hiring an artist or creative, and building an organizational culture that allows time and space conducive to creativity, innovation and on the job training has the potential to shape the Sim Tech position according to the needs of the simulation education team while also developing the individual professionally. The presenter will share several modifications, methods, best practices, innovations and work arounds developed during his journey as a simulation technician and creative specialist and how a background in the arts helped pave the way to a Master of science in healthcare simulation. Learning Objectives: Identity the knowledge, skills and attitude competencies conducive to success as a simulation technician candidate for your education team. Explore areas of simulation center operations where Simulation Techs can thrive outside of day to day equipment maintenance and core responsibilities. Discover methods, innovations and the importance of collaboration between educators, content experts in the early stages of scenario design.
