Welcome to HPSN2011 where we are celebrating our 15-year anniversary!This year’s HPSN conference offers a wealth of new learning

opportunities for you. There are more than 130 concurrent

sessions, an impressive poster session and the exciting and

educational METI Cup challenge with three student nurse

teams and three EMS teams. This year’s keynote speaker, Erik

Wahl, will kick off HPSN and is sure to inspire and motivate.

New to HPSN this year is our Exhibit Hall, which offers you an

opportunity to peruse 40 exhibitors who have something to

offer this remarkable simulation community. Lunch will be

served in the exhibit hall on Wednesday.

As always, you will have many opportunities

to network and collaborate. Hopefully,

you will join us (in your pirate costume)

at the Welcome Reception Tuesday

evening. And don’t miss the Awards

Ceremony Wednesday afternoon to see

the presentation of the winners of The METI’s

video award contest, poster presentations and

the METI Cup challenge, and to celebrate our

15 years of learning together!

Have fun and thanks for coming to HPSN2011.

This year’s theme is Gasparilla. A true Tampa tradition, the name and foundation of Tampa’s traditional Gasparilla Carnival come from legendary pirate Jose Gaspar, “last of

the Buccaneers,” who terrorized the coastal waters of West Florida during the late 18th and early

19th century. Come wearing your pirate gear. This event is free

to attend. Refreshments will be served, and each

attendee receives two drink tickets with his or her badge

at the registration desk: each ticket is good for

Presented by: Roseann Cannon-Diehl CRNA, DNP Sanford Health- Texas Christian UniversityRoom: Meeting Room 5 Level: Intermediate Evaluation #: 2007

Experiential learning incorporating high fidelity simulation is becoming a mainstay method of providing education and continuing education in many facets of healthcare. High fidelity simulation uses a full-body mannequin that automatically responds to participant interaction, without continuous input from an instructor. Complex assessment and multiple interventions can oc-cur simultaneously, immersing the participant in an ever-changing, dynamic environment producing “suspension of disbelief”. This hands-on workshop is offered to introduce the critical care or emergency nurse to this environ-ment. The participant can either watch the simulated experience unfold as an observer, or be an active hands-on participant. A high-risk, low exposure scenario will be played out. Debriefing will follow the scenario, highlighting events of the scenario as well as basic behaviors of crisis resource manage-ment. This session is repeated in this room on Thursday at 9:00am.

Bioterrorism attacks, to a great extent, cannot be prevented; however, as a healthcare community there must be a preparedness response in place for such an event. This simulation prepares nursing students to practice in glob-al healthcare settings, which includes the reality of bioterrorism and disaster management. This interactive session will offer the participants hands-on experience with innovative and dynamic teaching strategies to bridge the gap from theory to practice in a community setting. This session is repeat-ed in this room on Wednesday at 4:00pm.

Integrating high-fidelity patient simulators and actors in a variety of roles al-lows faculty to design scenarios intentionally structured to challenge leader-ship decision-making and complex clinical problem-solving simultaneously. This demonstration re-creates a learning experience from a Capstone nurs-ing course using high-fidelity patient simulators (ECS) designed to resolve the artificial partition between the clinical management of a complex, criti-cally ill patient and the conflict management of a high-stress, high-risk envi-ronment. This session is repeated in this room on Wednesday at 1:30pm.

On field care of a spine injured football player who is in respiratory or cardiac arrest requires teamwork and expediency in the proper removal of equip-ment to access the airway and the chest for resuscitation. This simulation provides an opportunity for healthcare providers to experience working as a team to gain access to the airway and the chest while maintaining spinal stabilization in the athlete wearing a helmet and shoulder pads. Partici-pants will appreciate the usefulness of a high fidelity simulator to recreate a scenario that cannot be adequately mastered without simulation. This session is repeated in this room on Wednesday at 2:45pm.

We will illustrate with our Human Function Laboratory experience the use of structured worksheets and the HPS instead of faculty to facilitate self-di-rected learning taking advantage of the HPS and his physiologic modeling. We are expanding on the ideal of early clinical learning giving our pre-clin-ical medical school learners a true ICU clinical experience. Our Learning-Space system allows videotaping to optimize faculty time and allows us to include both pre-course and post-course information and evaluations. This session is repeated on Wednesday in Florida Salon VI at 1:30pm.

Learning does not stop at the point of registration but is lifelong. Practi-tioners supervise and assess students to assure fitness for practice in a healthcare environment with an emphasis on safety at the point of care. The problematical nature of facilitation of learners in practice is widely recognized, and mentors report that failing students can be problemati-cal (Duffy 2004). The opportunity to practice mentoring skills away from the point of care is challenging. Simulation offers an effective, safe, inter-disciplinary learning experience. This presentation embraces the interdis-ciplinary holistic nature of learning in practice, where authentic, simulated learning experiences for students and mentors offer a milieu for assessing and managing adverse incidents where the bio, psycho, social basis of care is emphasised to develop the knowledge and skills of the interdisciplinary team to enhance patient safety. This session is repeated in this room on Thursday at 10:15am.

This round table discussion will explore the potential for use of simulation during the initial training of mentors/preceptors. Current mentor/preceptor preparation techniques will be discussed with participants and identifica-tion made of potential focus groups for future work. Davidson (2009) has suggested that the use of classroom assessment techniques can stimulate higher order thinking in the clinical setting; it is our suggestion that the use of simulation can further enhance the mentor/preceptor training by using scenarios with “real” students, thus allowing lecturers to identify areas for development in the assessment process. Scenarios where both student and trainee mentor are able to review their own practice, which can be viewed “on camera” in “real time” would be the ideal. The newly established Simulation Suite in the University of Nicosia would be a pilot site for a re-search project exploring the possibilities that simulation can offer to the continuing professional development of registered nurses in Cyprus.

As leaders in healthcare education, educators often strive to offer a learning environment favorable to learner engagement. This educator defines learner engagement as providing a learning milieu that allows for the learner to take responsibility in their own learning by becoming self-regulated and partici-patory in learning activities. Effective educational strategies are approaches, which challenge the learner, support authentic activities, and promote col-laborative learning. Simulation in nursing and other disciplines has already shown to be beneficial in enhancement of learner engagement. Often, when it comes to simulated clinical experiences there is a desire for both faculty and learners alike to “get their feet wet” in regard to the use of simula-tion. This educator and simulator coordinator adds a unique twist and sug-gests “full immersion” in learning. Learners are challenged, motivated, and coached as they develop, implement, and evaluate their own SCEs which peers participate in while faculty serve as facilitators towards learning. This session is repeated in Salon A on Thursday at 10:15am.

The “Educational Prescription” is a custom product of LearningSpace that allows you to create an individualized report for each learner that passes through a simulation exercise. Writing reviews of learner performance used to take hours--collecting the data on each learner, and then combining that with the personal review and comments of the faculty member made the task arduous. However, LearningSpace’s “Prescription” allows you to com-bine the statistical data from a simulation event with individual written com-ments for a report that is created, literally, with the touch of a button. Now learners and faculty both can see this report as soon as the event is finished and use it as a benchmark for measuring performance or as a tool to gener-ate final grades. This session will provide an in-depth look at the Educational Prescription itself and show attendees how they can create their own “Pre-scriptions” for learners to take with them when they leave for the day.

Teaching and evaluating safe drug calculation is an important component of overall medication safety. Using a traditional text and group seminar-based approach to teaching medication calculation, an increasing proportion of first and second year nursing students at our institution were unsuccessful at math calculation examinations. A more contemporary, online and interac-

tive medication teaching program and examination tool was sought. Based on these attributes, the METI e-Dose program was implemented with the observation of significantly lower examination failure rates.

The role of the Senior Clinical Technician is multifaceted and includes the effi-cient running of skills laboratories, while maintaining and servicing equipment. The role of the technician has developed with the advancement of iStan and METI products allowing for support of national trends, flexibility in curriculum development and the introduction of new skills for the technician. The inte-gration of iStan into simulation laboratories and the facilitation of simulated practice have had a two-fold impact upon the team. First, by a reduction in fa-cilitator manpower and secondly, by providing a development opportunity to the technician. These changes have resulted in heightened job satisfaction for the technician through observing the change in the nature of student learn-ing and the benefits they are gaining from simulated practice.

High fidelity simulation uses a full-body mannequin that automatically responds to participant interaction, without continuous input from an instructor. Complex assessment and multiple interventions can oc-cur simultaneously, immersing the participant in an ever-changing, dynamic environment producing “suspension of disbelief”. This hands-on workshop is offered to introduce the critical care or emergency nurse to this environ-ment. The participant can either watch the simulated experience unfold as an observer, or be an active hands-on participant. A high-risk, low exposure scenario will be played out. Debriefing will follow the scenario, highlighting events of the scenario as well as basic behaviors of crisis resource manage-ment. This session is repeated in this room on Tuesday at 1:15pm.

Learning does not stop at the point of registration but is lifelong. Practitio-ners supervise and assess students to assure fitness for practice in a health-care environment with an emphasis on safety at the point of care. The prob-lematical nature of facilitation of learners in practice is widely recognised, and mentors report that failing students can be problematical (Duffy 2004). The opportunity to practice mentoring skills away from the point of care is challenging. Simulation offers an effective, safe, inter-disciplinary learning experience. This presentation embraces the interdisciplinary holistic nature of learning in practice, where authentic, simulated learning experiences for students and mentors offer a milieu for assessing and managing adverse in-cidents where the bio, psycho, social basis of care is emphasised to develop the knowledge and skills of the interdisciplinary team to enhance patient safety.

As leaders in healthcare education, educators often strive to offer a learning environment favorable to learner engagement. This educator defines learner engagement as providing a learning milieu that allows for the learner to take responsibility in their own learning by becoming self-regulated and partici-patory in learning activities. Effective educational strategies are approaches, which challenge the learner, support authentic activities, and promote col-laborative learning. Simulation in nursing and other disciplines has already shown to be beneficial in enhancement of learner engagement. Often, when it comes to simulated clinical experiences there is a desire for both faculty and learners alike to “get their feet wet” in regard to the use of simula-tion. This educator and simulator coordinator adds a unique twist and sug-gests “full immersion” in learning. Learners are challenged, motivated, and coached as they develop, implement, and evaluate their own SCEs which peers participate in while faculty serve as facilitators towards learning. This session is repeated in Meeting Room 7 on Wednesday at 9:00am.

The role of the Senior Clinical Technician is multifaceted and includes the ef-ficient running of skills laboratories, while maintaining and servicing equip-ment. The role of the technician has developed with the advancement of iStan and METI products allowing for support of national trends, flexibility in curriculum development and the introduction of new skills for the techni-cian. The integration of iStan into simulation laboratories and the facilitation of simulated practice have had a two-fold impact upon the team. First, by a reduction in facilitator manpower and secondly, by providing a develop-ment opportunity to the technician. These changes have resulted in height-ened job satisfaction for the technician through observing the change in the nature of student learning and the benefits they are gaining from simu-lated practice.

This is a research study evaluating confidence levels of 100 new graduate nurses before and after two simulation sessions and one month post simu-lation evals. We are measuring confidence levels in relation to patient as-sessment, changes in patient condition, participation and decision-making, open communication and feedback We are also measuring the effect that participation in simulation has on the new graduate’s ability to relate the learning to an actual patient experience.

uSe of HPS foR Simulated veNouS gaS emBoliSm foR SuRgical team tRaiNiNgPresented by: Elisabeth Wright ME

The OR is an environment where teams of health care professionals work to-gether daily but rarely train together. Interdisciplinary team training in a high fidelity simulated surgical crisis scenario is hypothesized to improve partici-pants’ team skills and increase clinical knowledge. This project describes the development of a venous gas embolism (VGE) scenario during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, using an adult Human Patient Simulator and a custom built abdomen to allow insufflation with a Veress needle. The physiology of a VGE was modeled by programming parameters within HPS6 software.

The new curriculum at the University of Virginia School of Medicine em-ploys a system-based structure with deeper integration of clinical medicine and basic sciences. First year medical students are exposed to the clinical concept of intracranial pressure as it relates to a patient with a traumatic head injury. The scenario utilizes the ICP option on iStan to allow the stu-dents to measure a pressure with a monitoring device to develop clinical reasoning skills.
