Guidelines for Simulations: Benefits/Challenges in PT

▪ To help standardize the SBE, cues should be delivered in a consistent fashion. ▪ Follow the HSSOBPTM Simulation Design. ▪ Facilitation continues beyond the SBE and debrief as participants form new ways of thinking. Participants may need additional time to reflect, process new knowledge, personally deal with the events that transpired, or clarify clinical experiences that conflict with their simulation experiences. ▪ Facilitation may extend beyond the SBE when addressing issues of professional integrity. ▪ Follow the HSSOBPTM Professional Integrity. ▪ Follow the HSSOBPTM The Debriefing Process.

Facilitation after and beyond the simulation experience aims to support participants in achieving expected outcomes

The Debriefing Process The Debriefing Process , a central tenet to all SBEs, must be thoughtfully planned with the goal of enhancing clinical judgment and critical thinking skills necessary in professional practice. Techniques embedded in the debriefing process such as feedback, guided reflection and personal exploration assist the learner in self-assessment of attitudes, knowledge, and performance to enhance learning.

Criterion

Summary of Elements

The debriefing process is planned and incorporated into the SBE in an appropriate manner to guide the learner(s) in achieving the learning outcomes.

The debriefing process should: ● Follow the SBE and associated prebriefing. ● Be evidenced-based. ● Be timely, learner-centered, structured according to the education and experience of the learners and specific to observable behavior. ● Follow HSSOBPTM Prebriefing: Preparation and Briefing. ● Follow the HSSOBPTM Simulation Design.

▪ Allow adequate time to assist learners in achieving the activity’s desired outcomes, address critical elements, and discuss identified performance or systems gaps. ▪ The duration of the debrief varies. ▪ Debrief group (s) size should promote active participation of learners. ▪ Utilize techniques such as Socratic approach, active listening, and silence to promote self-awareness and critical thinking in a nonjudgemental fashion. ▪ Utilize unbiased critique and positive or negative constructive analysis to correct errors, promote comprehension and reinforce positive behavior.

The debriefing process is constructed, designed and/or facilitated by a person(s) or technology-enhanced system capable and/or competent in providing appropriate feedback, debriefing, and/or guided reflection.
