Mastering Simulation, 2nd Edition

by Janice Palaganas, Beth Ulrich, Beth Mancini Simulation is an essential tool in academic and clinical settings, but technology changes quickly, and faculty, students, and clinicians need to know how to respond. Understanding simulation scenarios and environments is critical when designing and implementing effective programs for interdisciplinary learners. In this fully revised second edition of Mastering Simulation, nationally known experts Janice Palaganas, Beth Ulrich, and Beth Mancini guide students and practitioners in developing clinical competencies and provide a solid foundation for improving patient outcomes. This fully revised new edition covers: Creating simulation scenarios and improving learner performance Designing program evaluations and managing risk and quality improvement Developing interprofessional programs and designing research using simulation Table of Contents Chapter 1: Foundations of Simulation Chapter 2: Developing Clinical Competence and Confidence Chapter 3: Creating an Effective Simulation Environment Chapter 4: Creating Effective, Evidence-Based Scenarios Chapter 5: Key Concepts in Simulation: Debriefing and Reflective Practice Chapter 6: Evaluating Simulation Effectiveness Chapter 7: Simulation as a Continuous Learning System Chapter 8: Using Simulation with Specific Learner Populations Chapter 9: Using Simulation for Interprofessional Education and Practice Chapter 10: Using Simulation in Academic Environments to Improve Learner Performance Chapter 11: Using Simulation in Hospitals and Healthcare Systems to Improve Outcomes Chapter 12: Using Simulation for Risk Management and Quality Improvement Chapter 13: Using Simulation for Research Chapter 14: Defining Roles and Building a Career in Simulation Chapter 15: Credentialing and Certification in Simulation Chapter 16: Designing Simulation Centers for Health Education Chapter 17: The Future of Simulation in Healthcare
