The Mandate to Change the Prevailing Culture from Opinion-Based Practice to Evidence-Based Practice Has Influenced Models Designed as Decision –Making Approaches to Advance the Integration of Simulation Education
The mandate to change the prevailing culture from opinion-based practice to evidence-based practice has influenced models designed as decision –making approaches to advance the integration of simulation education methods in higher education health professional programs, specifically among undergraduate and graduate education nursing programs. Simulation is one of the most rapidly growing strategies in clinical education and defining the best practices for dissemination is essential to the integration process. The intent of this workshop is to facilitate the opportunity to explore an approach to seek evidence-based outcomes in the process of simulation integration in clinical nursing professional education. Doing things many times without proof or data indicating efficacy is probably a waste of time, talent and money. The efforts in education and technology for simulation integration require each of us to give serious attention to capability-building and center development strategies.
A critical appraisal of the efforts to integrate simulation education requires knowledge of research design and personal development. The development process for beginning a Simulation Center begin with a focus on identifying steps that will help one to accomplish the mission, executing a carefully laid out strategy and measuring process every step of the way.
It is believed that the only way to achieve the overarching mission is to establish a direct link between strategy and execution.
Most institutions have a strategic plan, however very few execute upon their strategies. Research indicates that organizations do not execute the described strategy for four main reasons:
Vision -- lack of a shared vision
People – unmotivated or limited understanding of clearly defined performance objectives and measurement guidelines—how the day-to-day activities contribute to the bigger picture in process for the fidelity of the intervention based on evidence.
Management- urgent
