Goal: To introduce novice resident learners to medical education and simulation and promote their interest in pursuing a med-ed or simulation academic career. Still, simulation instructors must be prepared to cancel or postpone scheduled unannounced ISS in the event of heavy patient loads or a shortage of staff [22, 43]. 2013;27:57181.

Technology based hybrid simulation has been shown to be flexible in its ability to simulate a variety of invasive and non-invasive health care scenarios. Hum Factors. The aim of this review was to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the roles of real and simulated patients in undergraduate medical education. ISS can be conducted either announced or unannounced [19, 25], the latter also termed as a drill [25]. (2012). Additionally, more work is required to better understand, and indeed maximize the way in which standardized patients can provide appropriate verbal feedback to learners to help them improve communication skills and how this focus on communication can promote a patient-centered care model (*Holtschneider, 2017). Learning objectives can also be organisational. Specific areas that would benefit from future research include the implementation of simulation [70] and the interplay between and the role of local organisers of simulations and of simulation centres. For example medication prepared for ISS or OSS in-house can potentially get mixed up with real medication, or equipment used for ISS might be returned without being made ready for use in real clinical situations [46, 59]. After the rst step of analysing the needs and goals of the learners, Although there are empirical studies that address cross training, they only comprise small teams in an experimental laboratory setting and, to our knowledge, no medical studies have been undertaken that involve postgraduate multi-professional medicalteams [7476]. Appropriate papers were initially identified through traditional searches of electronic databases. Today, the primary form of simulation is the use of full body mannequins or high fidelity simulators. Sometimes it is difficult to interpret the simulation results. Introduced over the past 10years in situ simulation (ISS) mainly comprises team-based activities that occur in the actual patient care units involving actual healthcare team members in their own working environment [24]. Alternatively, hybrid simulation models allow the standardized patient to be whoever they are, allowing the educator to use a diverse population, allowing them to speak for themselves (*Holtschneider, 2017). Medical students' views and experiences of methods of teaching and learning communication skills. Use of breast simulators compared with standardized patients in teaching the clinical breast examination to medical students. High-fidelity simulators are life-size mannequins that can simulate multiple human functions such as breathing, generating a pulse, producing a heartbeat as well as being able to communicate with the learner through a remote operator interface (Goolsby, Goodwin, & Vest, 2014). Rehmann A, Mitman RD, Reynolds MC. What Is Simulation in Nursing and Why 2010;35:188201. Generally speaking, health care education simulation is implemented using four general approaches: stand-alone high fidelity simulators, stand-alone standardized patients, virtual patients and hybrid simulation, where technology is integrated with human actors to present a hybrid training scenario to the student. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the Indeed, Lawrence (2008) found that valuable literature may be lost if any one single database is used for a literature review and that different databases are better suited for some topics than others (Lawrence, 2008). A recent international expert group concluded [10] that system probing, which is an organisational approach, is one of five topics that healthcare simulation can address to improve patient safety.

In studying high-risk areas of the operating room, intensive care unit, emergency department, and the heliport, they identified 641 issues in equipment, code alarms, patient care flow, and emergency response concerns that would have been missed or minimized if not tested first in simulation. The authors declare that they have no competing interests. Non-profit foundations, including the Danish Regions Development and Research Foundation, the Laerdal Foundation for Acute Medicine, and the Aase and Ejnar Danielsen Foundation funded the research on the role of simulation setting and fidelity in simulation [27, 28]. Simulation is used widely in medical education. Abstract. https://doi.org/10.1097/nnd.0000000000000391. Simulation-based medical education (SBME) has traditionally been conducted as off-site simulation in simulation centres. Br J Anaesth.

The authors declare that they have no competing interest. However, the biggest downfall of a standardized patient, despite the realism in which he can portray a human patient is their inability to be subjected to invasive procedures such as intubation or insertion of an IV (Wisborg et al., 2009). Integration of simulation can occur at the course level or on a larger scale across an entire curriculum. Critical Ultrasound Journal, 9(4), 16. PMC Researchers found that the hybrid simulation approach delivered enhanced realism and therefore provided a more authentic learning context without putting real patients at risk (*Dunbar-Reid et al., 2015). Learning on an organisational level can differ from individual and team learning [19, 22, 27, 33]. Virtual reality and the transformation of medical education (2007). 2016;33:5146. However, it also has its downsides, such as the cost of equipment and technology, potential for addiction, limited social interaction, and health concerns. 2005;14:3039.

The presence of the human actor elicits more procedure explanation, patient reassurance, asking of questions by the caregiver, and in general more patient interaction. An Alternative to Traditional Bedside Teaching During COVID-19: High-Fidelity Simulation-Based Study. We will also provide some tips and share the lessons we have learned, especially when introducing ISS. However in both of these contexts, the actor patient does not participate in any form of assessment or evaluation as was common in the past. Academic Psychiatry, 26(3), 187192. The datasets used and/or analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. Therefore, a supplementary approach to simulation is needed to unfold its full potential. The advantages and disadvantages of announced and unannounced ISS are poorly explored in the literature, but some individuals who have participated in unannounced ISS describe it as intimidating, and unpleasant [22, 25]. Bender GJ. mannequins or dummies) to prepare students for Simulation laboratories need to be manned by qualified personnel and the management of the institutions need to create an enabling environment for the implementation of simulation-based education. provide ample information on how to create simulations inter-professionally [35]. However, when compared to other industries simulation application in healthcare has lagged behind due to high cost, resistance to change and lack of rigorous proof of effect. Hybrid simulations generally fall into the category of a worn device such as a sleeve or chest plate that allows for invasive procedures, a silicon overlay to present to the student a particular look or feel or wearable sensors that are used in conjunction with other technology to provide feedback to the student. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaip.2013.07.006. Some argue that more time is potentially set aside, especially for debriefing in OSS [46]. found that students enjoyed the authentic immersive approach to midwifery simulation using real people to practice clinical and communication skills, rather than inanimate objects such as manikins or part task training models (*Andersen et al., 2019). Qual Saf Health Care. The importance of setting, context and fidelity are discussed. Cornthwaite K, Edwards S, Siassakos D. Reducing risk in maternity by optimising teamwork and leadership: an evidence-based approach to save mothers and babies. The notion behind this idea concerning the fidelity of simulation is rooted in the traditional assumption that the closer the learning context resembles the context of practice, the better the learning [14] and is a premise that is discussed below in detail.

Indeed, anecdotal evidence clearly showed that students were much more willing to respond to and engage in conversation with a human actor wearing the Avstick than with a static representation of a human patient (*Devenny et al., 2018). Indeed, the Wearable Simulated Maternity Model has shown that a simple to implement simulation experience can be designed that provides a high-fidelity simulation at a very low cost (*Andersen et al., 2019). In most cases, hybrid simulation performs equally as well as high fidelity simulators in allowing the trainee to practice procedural and declarative knowledge. All of which are almost non-existent when high fidelity simulators are used. One idea is to make simulation facilities more accessible for all staff in a multiprofessional organisation, which in several articles are an argument for delivering of simulation as ISS and OSS in-house in departments [1921, 23, 27, 28]. BMC Med Educ 17, 20 (2017). In regards to wearable sensors, Lebel et al. found through a systematic literature review that considering technical aspects of obstetrical emergencies management, hybrid simulation training is as efficient as high-fidelity training (Lous et al., 2020). High fidelity simulators have been used in the past for many aspects of health education from specific medical procedures to developing skills to manage critically ill patients (Kennedy et al., 2013). Variation and adaptation: learning from success in Medical Education Advantages and Disadvantages In recent years, VR has been increasingly used as a tool in medical education. For example, hybrid could mean the close integration of human actors with technology in the form of a wearable device or the use of a human actor and a high fidelity simulator, side by side, in the same scenario but as independent learning modalities that represent the same patient and therefore the whole of the training scenario. As nursing programs seek to engage students in learning, faculty can consider activities that integrate simulation into the classroom to recreate real-life events and provide learning through actual experiences.

Simulation-based education workshop: perceptions of participants Because The current use of standardized patients in simulation has been proven to be an effective way to increase scenario realism; however, there are many limitations to the type of injury or illness that can be assigned to standardized patient cases (*Cowperthwait et al., 2015). Brown, W.J., Tortorella, R.A.W. (2010). However, a hybrid model using wearable technology integrated with human actors (standardized patients) may present a cost-effective alternative to high fidelity simulation training scenarios. In medical training, simulation has a long history. This lack of interaction is significantly overcome by the use of standardized patients as they can speak and readily display nonverbal behavior in reaction to what learners do and say (*Holtschneider, 2017). A study was performed to assess their effectiveness against cadaveric materials for learning external cardiac anatomy. However, hybrid simulation, for the purposes of this paper, is defined as the utilization of wearable or augmentative technology in conjunction with a human actor in a health-care education context. https://doi.org/10.1097/SIH.0b013e31823ee24d. Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Teteris E, Fraser K, Wright B, McLaughlin K. Does training learners on simulators benefit real patients? It is important to apply these simulation methods in the early phases of planning and decision making when building new wards and hospitals. The advantages of standardized patients have been widely reported in the literature. Medical In her work with the University of Delaware, Cowperthwait discovered that it is not only the learner that benefits from the use of standardized patients, but the standardized patients themselves (*Holtschneider, 2017). 2013;22:46877.

Disadvantages were their limited availability and the variability in learning experiences among students. As a point of clarity, it is worth pointing out the concept of a virtual patient. Medical educators and empirical findings, however, increasingly question this assumption [1517]. Simulation in healthcare education: A best evidence Goals and objectives. Standardized patients were introduced by Howard Barrows in the 1960s (Yudkowsky, 2002). Learning in context is a highly discussed topic in medical education [2, 11].

Studies describe how ISS can successfully be used to test the renovation of wards and the construction of new wards [34, 5457] or to determine how to perform individual procedures [56]. Cross training is defined as an instructional strategy in which each team member is trained in the duties of his or her teammates [75]. Smithburger, P. L., Kane-Gill, S. L., Ruby, C. M., & Seybert, A. L. (2012). This literature review illustrates that there is significant opportunity for the expansion of the role of hybrid simulation in health care education, a role which should improve learner competence and confidence. Simulation allows learners to practice skills and improve critical thinking without any risk to a patient. One poorly addressed issue in SBME original research studies and reviews is the choice of context andsetting for SBME. In the years following their introduction, extensive research was conducted regarding the psychometrics of standardized patients (Yudkowsky, 2002). However, the comparison studies on settings for simulation described in this article [20, 23, 2729] indicate that the physical context or physical fidelity of the simulation setting, such as OSS or ISS, is not the most important aspect for individual and team learning, indicating that the semantic and motivational context can be more important. Dunbar-Reid et al. Similarly, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and CINAHL anecdotally are well-respected and utilized research databases; in particular this experience is supported by the makers of Web of Science which claims that this database contains over 20,000 objectively selected quality journals which include papers that have been cited over 1.4 billion times since the 1900s. Students' views on the use of real patients and simulated patients in undergraduate medical education. Hybrid simulators enable the educator to create a learning scenario that can incorporate human interactions, reactions and body language as well as clinical data such as blood pressure, and stomach sounds which may be controlled by the educator.
