Healthcare Simulation Standards Endorsement: Your Questions Answered

Abstract : Come to this session to find out more about the newly developed INACSL’s Healthcare Simulation Standards Endorsement! The goal of endorsement is to recognize healthcare institutions and practices that have demonstrated excellence in applying all four of the following simulation standards from the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best PracticeTM to their educational simulation programs: Prebriefing: Preparation and Briefing; Facilitation; Professional Integrity and Debriefing.
Why should your clinical, educational or practice organization think about obtaining this designation? Well, obtaining Healthcare Simulation Standards endorsement publicly recognizes institutions that excel in creating simulation experiences that enhance student learning, promote professional development, and/or advance the science of simulation. Organizations who receive the endorsement demonstrate a commitment to pursue and sustain excellence in the four standards, designated as the “Core Four” Health Simulation Standards. Why is this important? Following the “Core Four” in your simulation program is important since they guide the integration, use, and advancement of simulation-based experiences within academia, clinical practice, and research.
There are many goals and benefits to obtaining Healthcare Simulation Standards Endorsement. Some of them include:
• Facilitating sustained application of best practices to simulation experiences and programs
• Facilitating positive changes that improve simulation education based on the application of evidence-based practices and research
• Encouraging ongoing performance evaluation and improvements within simulation programs
• Improving healthcare education and patient safety as a whole through the promotion and practice of high-quality simulation
