▪ Determine the assessment/ evaluation processes in the design phase to ensure quality and effectiveness of the SBE. ▪ Consider an assessment framework to guide the selection and/ or development of a valid and reliable tool to measure expected learner outcomes. ▪ Ensure that participants understand the method of assessment (formative, summative, and/or high stakes) before or at the onset of the simulation. ▪ Plan an evaluation process to determine the quality or effectiveness of the SBE. ● Use evaluation data for continuous quality improvement. ● Include feedback from participants, peer clinicians and educators, stakeholders, and simulation program faculty and staff in the evaluation process. ▪ Follow the HSSOBPTM Evaluation of Learning and Performance. ▪ Pilot-test the entire simulation to ensure that it accomplishes its intended purpose, provides opportunity to achieve objectives, and is effective when used with learners. ▪ Select participants like the target learner group for the optimal pilot test. ▪ Select and review tools, checklists, or other measures to assess validity and to ensure consistency and reliability. ▪ During the pilot-test identify any confusing, missing, or underdeveloped elements of the SBE. Make improvements and revise before the full implementation of the simulation-based experience. ▪ Recognize that it may not always be possible to pilot test SBEs prior to facilitation.
Develop a plan for evaluation of the learner and of the simulation- based experience.
Pilot test simulation-based experiences before full implementation
Facilitation Facilitation guides participants toward attainment of the desired learning outcomes and promotes successful collaboration during the learning experience. According to the Health care simulation Dictionary a Facilitator is “an individual who is involved in the implementation and/or delivery of simulation activities”. 6
Box. 4 Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice: Facilitation 11
Criterion
Summary of Elements
▪ The facilitator demonstrates competency in simulation pedagogy and incorporates the HSSOBP TM . ▪ The facilitator should be familiar with all aspects of SBE including preparatory materials, cueing, scenario scripting and debriefing and evaluation methods. ▪ The facilitator demonstrates the ability to: ● Apply principles of experiential, contextual, constructivist,
Effective facilitation requires a facilitator who has specific skills and knowledge in simulation pedagogy .
