The project’s main purpose was to explore ways of addressing three important issues: Shortage of nurses and increase in enrollment, Scarcity of clinical placements and To address disparities of student experiences. The modalities of simulation included medium to high-fidelity manikins (16%), standardized patients (SPs) (6%) and virtual reality (3%). EDI learning opportunities were woven into relevant scenarios. Students and instructor feedback shows that learners gained confidence, practiced skills they would not have encountered in traditional clinical, learnt the importance of critical reflective practice, collaboration, problem solving skills and resolving issues related to equity diversity and inclusion. The learnings from this project are being used to scale up the simulated based learning by replacing 50% of traditional clinical hours in continuing care for the internationally trained nurses that is currently running. The following academic year we will take these learnings and scale to over 400 students per semester at 25% replacement. Our presentation will focus on the disruption of traditional clinical students’ experiences and the relearning process of new pedagogical strategies in nurse education. We will outline the pre-implementation activities, implementation process, the outcomes of the project and what we learned as discussion the way forward. Learning Objectives: Understand how replacing clinical education rotation hours with nursing simulation as an approach can enhance clinical learning outcomes. Understand what steps were taken, logistics, and operational resources were used to execute replacing clinical hours with healthcare simulation. Apply these learnings from the presentation to the participant’s organization, to initiate or build on replacing clinical rotation hours with clinical simulation activities.

The specific trauma courses discussed will be the following: Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), Advanced Trauma Operative Management (ATOM), Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma (ASSET), Trauma Team training, In situ training, and Disaster course. These courses faced significant obstacles to learner groups, instructors, and deployment. This webinar will describe solutions that were implanted. References: ASST Trauma Facts ACS Trauma Education Knowles, Malcolm. (1973) The adult learner: A neglected species. Gulf Publishing Company Learning Objectives: Define adult learning theory as it pertains to designing trauma simulation training. Discuss best practice for simulation design. Describe specific strategies to overcome learner, instructor, and system obstacles common to trauma courses.

The interdisciplinary panel of speakers will discuss their experience of using system-focused simulation to test the quality and safety of a new and complex clinical care model, Hospital at Home, in the pre-implementation phase. Hospital at Home is an innovative care model providing hospital-level care in the patient’s home, which allows eligible patients to receive acute care and recover in the comfort of their homes. It entails many of the same care processes occurring in the brick and mortal hospital, including clinician visits, vital signs, lab and diagnostic studies, medications, auxiliary therapies, and meals. In essence, this entailed developing a new hospital system outside the hospital, inclusive of the workflows, communication patterns, information technology infrastructure and care processes. A large interdisciplinary effort was undertaken to delineate the processes and best workflows from entry into the program through discharge. Kaizen events, steering committee meetings, and patient-centered focus groups drove the creation of the standard work. Upon creation of the standard work, several tabletop simulations were conducted to confirm the appropriate processes and personnel, and identify potential system stress-points. This was then followed by “Day in The Life” (DiTL) simulations that included realistic scenarios with simulated patients and were designed to (1) validate and test – equipment, communication, procedures, and workflows and (2) discover – latent safety threats, resolutions to issues, opportunities to optimize quality of care and patient safety. Simulations encompassed the Hospital at Home process by beginning with patient eligibility and consent, the hospital stay, transitioning to home, care at home as a Hospital at Home patient and lastly discharge. Each simulation had participants in-person and via Zoom with members from the full interprofessional team (e.g., nursing, physicians, pharmacists, social workers, home nursing) and the hospital system team (e.g., IT, supply chain, pharmacy, operational excellence, simulation). Throughout the phases of the Hospital at Home program, the teams participated in focused interval debriefs centered on the SEIPS 2.0 (Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety) human factors framework. The debriefs culminated in approximately 120 opportunities for improvement that were then triaged by criticality and importance to be addressed longitudinally. Following the simulated sessions, the clinical team was equipped with valuable insights that significantly improved readiness to enroll the first patient in the Hospital at Home program. The team analyzed the outcomes, feedback, and learning points from the simulations and promptly integrated them into protocols and procedures. This involved refining the patient enrollment approach, fine-tuning equipment use, honing emergency response protocols, and enhancing interpersonal communication strategies to ensure a patient-centric approach. By learning from the simulated experiences, the team created a more robust and effective system, significantly reducing the potential for errors or mishaps. As a result, the team members were more confident in their ability to provide acute hospital-level care at home and better prepared to meet the unique needs and preferences of the first patient in the program. This iterative learning process ultimately elevated the standard of care provided, optimizing the patient experience from the get-go. Learning Objectives: Characterize the integration of simulation into a multidisciplinary effort for the development of a new clinical care model. Describe the collaborative use of simulation and operational excellence programs in the pre-implementation testing of the new Hospital at Home program. Demonstrate the impact of using the collective approaches of systems-focused simulation and operational excellence on process design and improvement, patient safety, and care delivery for new clinical models
