Simulation is an essential tool in academic and clinical settings, but technology changes quickly, and faculty, students, and clinicians need to know how to respond. Understanding simulation scenarios and environments is critical when designing and implementing effective programs for interdisciplinary learners. In this fully revised second edition of Mastering Simulation, nationally known experts Janice Palaganas, Beth Ulrich, and Beth Mancini guide students and practitioners in developing clinical competencies and provide a solid foundation for improving patient outcomes. This fully revised new edition covers: Creating simulation scenarios and improving learner performance - Designing program evaluations and managing risk and quality improvement - Developing interprofessional programs and designing research using simulation Table of Contents Chapter 1: Foundations of Simulation Chapter 2: Developing Clinical Competence and Confidence Chapter 3: Creating an Effective Simulation Environment Chapter 4: Creating Effective, Evidence-Based Scenarios Chapter 5: Key Concepts in Simulation: Debriefing and Reflective Practice Chapter 6: Evaluating Simulation Effectiveness Chapter 7: Simulation as a Continuous Learning System Chapter 8: Using Simulation with Specific Learner Populations Chapter 9: Using Simulation for Interprofessional Education and Practice Chapter 10: Using Simulation in Academic Environments to Improve Learner Performance Chapter 11: Using Simulation in Hospitals and Healthcare Systems to Improve Outcomes Chapter 12: Using Simulation for Risk Management and Quality Improvement Chapter 13: Using Simulation for Research Chapter 14: Defining Roles and Building a Career in Simulation Chapter 15: Credentialing and Certification in Simulation Chapter 16: Designing Simulation Centers for Health Education Chapter 17: The Future of Simulation in Healthcare "Mastering Simulation by Beth Ulrich, Beth Mancini, and Janice Palaganas is a veritable treasure trove of useful ideas, practical insights, and underpinning conceptual frameworks that will help discerning simulation educators improve their practice, programs, and performance. Drawn from a who's who of US clinical simulation experts, the second edition's content is comprehensive, inclusive, and clearly presented. A welcome and definitive contribution to the scholarly practice of simulation in healthcare." -Ian Curran, BSc, MBBS (London), AKC, FRCA (UK), Pg Dip Med Ed (Distinction), FFPMRCA (UK), FAcadMEd (UK), FSSH (USA), FRCP Edinburgh, FAOrthoA (Australia), FRCP (London), FAMS (Singapore)Vice Dean of Education, Duke-NUS Medical SchoolCo-Director, SingHealth, Duke-NUS, Academic Medical Education Institute "An inspired vision of how we holistically transform our profession across the continuum of health to imagine how we fully embrace a world of technology, virtual presence, digital health, avatars, and adaptive learning--reshaping the economy, our lives, and our humanity. A brilliant work of art and science that creates a compelling case for a leap of faith into a new reality." -Cole Edmonson, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, FACHE, FAONL, FNAP, FAANChief Experience and Clinical Officer, AMN Healthcare "These renowned editors have thought of everything! From novice to expert simulationists, there is something for everyone. This book takes the reader through the various stages of simulation design and application, with considerations for both academic and clinical environments. The chapters on research, operations, and career building round out an already exceptional book. If you are involved in simulation, you must have this book on your shelf." -Nicole Harder, PhD, RN, CHSE, CCSNEAssistant Professor, College of NursingMindermar Professor in Human Simulation, Rady Faculty of Health SciencesWinnipeg, Manitoba, CanadaEditor-in-Chief, Clinical Simulation in Nursing "I have watched the evolution of simulation since my initial exposure as a CPR instructor in the 1980s. The science of simulation has advanced significantly since that time, as demonstrated by the content of this invaluable text. Whether you are new to simulation or an expert, you will find this text to be a must-have resource." -Kenneth W. Dion, PhD, MSN, MBA, RN, FAANAssistant Dean for Business InnovationJohns Hopkins School of Nursing "Mastering Simulation is truly, as the title states, a handbook for success. Too often healthcare organizations purchase expensive simulation equipment that sits unused. Nursing professional development practitioners--educators in healthcare settings--need this resource to guide decision-making before, during, and after equipment purchases. The focus on evaluating impact is essential in demonstrating the value of educational interventions to the organization." -Mary G.
