Box. 2 Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice Prebriefing: Preparation and Briefing 9
Criterion
Summary of Elements
▪ Conduct a planned prebriefing session that is tied to the simulation objectives and serves to prepare learners for the SBE and the debriefing. ▪ Follow the HSSOBP TM Professional Development standard. ▪ Plan the prebriefing as a structured part of the simulation experience. ▪ Incorporate requirements for learner preparation and briefing during simulation design. ▪ Preparation and briefing requirements may vary, depending on the overall purpose and objectives of the simulation- based experience. ▪ For summative/high stakes SBEs: ● Provide information to learners regarding the type of scenario and method of evaluation in advance of the SBE. ● Develop preparation materials based on the simulation objectives and the descriptors in the assessment tool/rubric. ● Use a consistent, written, briefing script including orientation to the simulation-based experience, environment and resources to enhance reliability of instructions to learners. ▪ Novices to SBE may require more preparation, briefing and orientation. ▪ The simulation designer and facilitator are responsible for ensuring that preparatory and briefing activities address the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors that will be expected of the learners during the SBE. ▪ Use adult learning theory principles to prepare prebriefing materials that are designed to decrease cognitive load and equip learners to practice “at the edge of their ability.” ▪ Decrease learner anxiety and increase psychologically safety by providing preparation for scenario content. ▪ Use a variety of activities to ensure learner success in achieving the learning outcomes. ▪ Develop preparation activities and resources to support understanding of the concepts and content related to the SBE, including: ● assign readings or audiovisual materials ● concept mapping or care planning exercises ● review of the simulated patient’s health record/patient report, medications with discussion as needed
The simulationist should be knowledgeable about the scenario and competent in concepts related to prebriefing. Prebriefing should be developed according to the purpose and learning objectives of the simulation-based experience
The experience and knowledge level of the simulation learner should be considered when planning the prebriefing.
Based on needs assessment and purpose of the experience, preparation materials are developed to assure that learners are prepared for the experience and can meet the scenario objectives . Preparation materials should be developed according to the purpose and learning objectives of the simulation-based experience.
