Guidelines for Simulations: Benefits/Challenges in PT

▪ Identify justifiable capital expenditures and articulate the value proposition or return on investment and return on expectation of the program. ▪ Design job descriptions for the SBE program that delineate the scope of practice and educational requirements for each role to ensure that personnel can perform the job skills or be trained to meet expectations. ▪ Incorporate an ongoing professional development plan designed specifically for simulation personnel with associated competency validation and ensure personnel receive necessary training. ▪ Identify roles, tasks, and expectations for the set up and break down of simulation-based experience. ▪ Follow a written plan addressing the educational objective(s), purpose(s) with an accessible list of supplies, equipment, and personnel required to support the activities. ▪ Ensure that all SBE experiences and associated activities are in an environment that complies with institutional, national, international, or other regulatory occupational safety practices. ▪ Perform a periodic review of the above. ▪ Follow the HSSOBPTM Simulation Design. ▪ Plan and sustain a defined annual SBE budget with a quantified, formalized plan to analyze and control costs. ▪ Prepare and execute an operational budget considering the SBE program’s environmental review, current and future goals/objectives, and priorities which includes planned, fixed and variable costs, capital expenditures, and forecasted growth. ▪ Correlate the impact of the SBE program on the organization’s cost/savings. ▪ Develop the program’s mission and/or vision along with written policies and procedures to articulate the role of the SBE program in relation to other stakeholders and the larger organization or region. Communicate to stakeholders how these align with healthcare education and eventually health care delivery. ▪ Actively participate and collaborate in initiatives across organizations, contributing to the improvement of learner, health care, and/or program outcomes. ▪ Ensure ongoing systematic and programmatic improvement processes are in place for the SBE program.

Personnel with appropriate expertise support and sustain the SBE program.

Develop plans to manage space, equipment, and personnel resources.

Secure and manage the financial resources to support stability, sustainability, and growth of the SBE program’s goals and outcomes.

Use a formal process for effective systems integration.
