Abstract: Virtual healthcare simulations are increasingly recognized as valuable tools for training healthcare professionals, offering a safe environment to hone clinical and communication skills. This CE webinar explores the crucial intersection of virtual nurse simulations and cultural competency, equipping participants with the knowledge and strategies to provide effective and equitable care in diverse virtual settings.

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.

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 simulation champions interested in using healthcare simulation to generate change should join this informative webinar! For further reading visit: https://aspih.org.uk/transformative-simulation-resources/ Learning Objectives: Describe the Transformative Healthcare Simulation concept and taxonomy. Examine how the seven clinical simulation-based I’s can be applied to clinical education and training. Critique what is known and what further knowledge is required to advance knowledge and understanding of clinical simulation performance improvement outcomes.
