Healthcare Simulation Program Builder: Easy Tools to Build and Enhance Your Staff Training

Healthcare Simulation Program Builder: Easy Tools to Build and Enhance Your Staff Training KT Waxman, DNP, MBA, RN, CNL, CENP, CHSE Juli Maxworthy, DNP, MSN, MBA, RN, CNL, CPHQ, CPPS Simulation is widely recognized as an efficient and effective way to help new nurses build the skills they need to become confident and competent practitioners. But many organizations think simulation training is out of their reach because they cannot afford the astronomically expensive simulation technology and labs with all the bells and whistles. Healthcare Simulation Program Builder helps healthcare professionals who want to use simulation to improve orientation and preceptorships, build nurse competency, enhance nurse residency programs, and strengthen interprofessional communication across the entire healthcare team. This first-of-its-kind book assists those who want to begin using simulation for training, but don't know where to start. It discusses the theory around simulation, when to use different modalities, how to get buy-in, and how to measure results. It is the perfect curriculum builder and contains all the tools and templates you need to get started--so you don't have to create them yourself! This book will: Explain the types of simulation, its educational principles, simulation technology, and the skills needed to launch a successful program Provide sample resources, including job descriptions, scenario templates, and video release forms Include examples from organizations around the country that are successfully using simulation Table of Contents Introduction PART 1 What Is Healthcare Simulation? Modalities of Simulation Simulation as a Teaching Methodology Learning Theories Phases of Healthcare Simulation Experience Faculty Development Preparing Educators Certification Operationalization of Healthcare Simulation Management of Day-to-Day Simulation Operations Creating a Business Case for Simulation Building Simulation Alliances/Collaboratives Accreditation PART 2 Sample Forms/Templates Scenario Development Job Descriptions Designing Simulation Space Policies/Procedures PART 3 Resources and Professional Development Healthcare Simulation Organizations Healthcare Simulation Practice Standards Evidence-Based Support for Healthcare Simulation PART 4 Key Terms and Acronyms References This book is intended for those who: Have been assigned as a simulation director and have not received any training Have been given a simulation mannequin and told to go forth and build a simulation program Are interested in learning about simulation but don't know where to start Have no idea how to integrate simulation into their curriculum (regardless of the setting), but really want to try If you would like to find out about the availability of nursing contact hours on this or any other HCPro nursing book, please visit our Continuing Education information page, here: http: //www.strategiesfornursemanagers.com/nursing_contact.cfm
