Why is this so hard?

Learning Objective

• You have to have a clear reason of why you are running any simulation.

Lets Watch

• What is most important aspect to debrief?

Where does a simulation fit?

• It depends on what your doing!

EACH Sim is part of a bigger plan!

What is this?

Does it belong here?

Global Objectives

• Course Objectives– 1. Demonstrate a proper patient assessment– 2. Demonstrate following the emergency protocol– 3. Demonstrate Airway Management Skills

Measure Here

You can only keep track of so many things at one time

How many of you feel like this ?

Tools for Success

• Make it easy for your faculty to stay on track

• “In my opinion…..”

Assessment Methodology– Identify methods for measuring core aspects in

simulation education / assessment– Discuss development and deployment of

measurement tools

Assessment and Evaluation

• Assessment and Evaluation often used interchangeably

• Assessment – learner outcomes• Evaluation – course or program outcomes

Assessment of clinical skills/competence/performance

Performance Assessment

• Basic to performance – Do they know it and know how?

• Competence – Can they do it?

• Performance – Do they do it?

Assessment• Formative Assessment

– Lower stakes assessment– One of several assessments over time of course or program– May be evaluative, diagnostic, or prescriptive– Often results in remediation or progression to next level

• Summative Assessment– Higher stakes assessment– Generally final course or program assessment– Primary purpose is performance evaluation– Often results in a Go-No Go outcome

Assessment

• Assessors– Instructors– Observers– SIM/Patients– Peers– Participants

• Instruments– AV annotation– Pencil/Paper– Scantron form– TabletPC or PDA

• Assessment data sources– Live observation– Video recording– SIM device logs

Variables in Assessment

Assessment Validity

• Validity – – Degree to which an assessment tool measures what it is

intended to measure– Construct validity

– Accuracy of tool to measure intended construct

• Concurrent validity• Content validity• Predicative validity

Assessment Reliability• Test Reliability –

– consistency of a test to yield the same measure over time (does not assure validity)

– Test-Retest Reliabilityconsistency among different administrations

– Parallel Forms Reliabilityto assure that memory effects do not occur use a different pre- and posttest

– Inter-Rater Reliability two or more observers rate the same subjects with strong positive correlation of their ratings

Variables in Assessment

Assessment Improvement

• Improving Reliability and Validity– Base assessment on outcome/objectives >

event triggers > observable behavior > behavioral rating > assess against competencies

– Define <low – medium – high> performance– Use of Rubric or rating metric– Use (video) training examples of performance– Employ a quality assurance/improvement system

• CONCLUSIONS: – Simulation instructors exhibited good overall

inter-rater agreement but showed poor agreement for some key airway tasks.

– Variability in instructor ratings may influence real-time evaluation of simulation performance.

– Likely could be improved with careful instructor orientation / training


Evaluation

• Individual Trainee Evaluation– Per episode performance– Course of the Day

Evaluation

• Group Trainee Evaluation– Benchmark

Evaluation

• Instructor Evaluation– Per episode performance– Measure Against Benchmarks
