▪ A recommendation of the qualities for simulation fidelity, simulation validity, simulation program, or for formative or summative evaluation (SSH). ▪ A set of procedures or principles that are recommended to assist in meeting standards. ▪ Guidelines are not necessarily comprehensive. They provide a framework for developing policies and procedures based on best practice. ▪ A statement of the minimum requirements for simulation fidelity, validity, formative or summative evaluation, or any other element related to a simulation activity or program (SSH). ▪ A person “who is involved, full -time or part-time, in modeling or simulation activities,” for example, develops models to be used for simulation purposes; performs simulation studies; develops simulation software; manages simulation projects; advertises and/or markets simulation products and/or services; maintains simulation products and/or services; promotes simulation-based solutions to important problems; advances simulation technology; and advances simulation methodology and/or theory (Ören, 2000). ▪ A term used to describe “professionals involved in providing simulation activities, products, and services” (Kardong-Edgren, 2013, p. e561). This can include simulated patient educators, trainers, and standardized or simulated patients (SPs). ▪ A person, defined as someone “with a diverse set of skills and expertise both technical and administrative related to the operation, support, and delivery of healthcare simulation” (Crawford, Bailey, & Steer, 2019, p. 148). ▪ A person, also known as a “Sim Tech” or Simulation Technician who functions as a technician for healthcare simulation technology (Baily, 2014; Crawford, Bailey, & Steer, 2019). ▪ In addition to technical support, job duties may vary and include such duties as preparing for simulations (mannequin programming, set-up), running of equipment during simulations (simulator, audiovisual), equipment maintenance/repair, and education of others concerning simulation technologies (UW Health, 2017). ▪ An individual who provides technological expertise, instructional support, and advocacy in healthcare simulation. ▪ An individual who is involved in the implementation and/or delivery of simulation activities. For example, faculty, educators, etc. ▪ An individual who helps to bring about an outcome (such as learning, productivity, or communication) by providing indirect or unobtrusive assistance, guidance, or supervision. For example: The debriefing facilitator kept the discussion flowing smoothly. ▪ In health care simulation, a person who engages in a simulation activity for the purpose of gaining or demonstrating mastery of knowledge, skills, and/or attitudes of professional practice (INACSL, 2013).
