Did you Know? We primarily use the Laerdal SimMan 3G medical simulator as our daily workhorse for medical and nursing simulations. Our three SimMan 3G simulators combined, as of November 1, have had 283,670 chest compression’s performed on them. That’s a lot of CPR!
Dr. Paul Phrampus recently posted a blog post about cognitive load control in simulation scenario design. It is an interesting read…check it out!
“The Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC)promotes cooperation among the Armed Services, Industry, Academia and various Government agencies in pursuit of improved training and education programs, identification of common training issues and development of multiservice programs.” It is definitely interesting here at the IITSEC conference in Orlando, Florida as the Department of Defense (DoD), Industry, … Continue reading Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC)
AIDET® is a communication framework for healthcare professionals to communicate with patients and each other in a way that decreases patient anxiety, increases patient compliance, and improves clinical outcomes. The acronym AIDET® stands for five communication behaviors: Acknowledge, Introduce, Duration, Explanation, and Thank You. Created by Studer Group as a foundational tactic for effective patient … Continue reading AIDET: a way to communicate in healthcare
There are many different ways you can make lists and reminders for your operations. Many of us use Outlook tasks, electronic post-its on the computer desktop, or even hard copy post-its, there is no absolute right way to do it…we all use what are comfortable with or what makes us most productive. I recently switched … Continue reading Operations Tip: Trello
Most people in the medical simulation world or even curriculum development world has heard or knows the “Kirkpatrick Model.” Over the years there has been modifications to this model by adding a 5th level to adapt it more toward business and the return on investment (ROI) courtesy of Phillips. Most simulation centers and programs meet … Continue reading How is Kirkpatrick Being Implemented
Even though Evaluation phase is the last phase in the ADDIE model, in reality, evaluation is taking place at all the phases. Evaluation is the constant sentinel to ensure the product and process are meaningful and effective. Evaluation in this phase looks at the entirety of the ADDIE model and compares them. For example, if … Continue reading Evaluation in ADDIE
In this blog post we will briefly describe the activities that happen in the implementation phase of ADDIE. This is the “Training and Education” part of the curriculum, and probably the most visible phase of all of ADDIE. This phase connects the provider of the content to the end users (the learner). Training is presented, … Continue reading Implementation in ADDIE
The development phase links the the design phase with the implementation phase. In this phase, the designer will see the design plans come to life with the creation of lesson plans, job aids, and evaluation checklists. Simulation Specific For you simulationists out there, this is also the step where you take your simulation scenario outline … Continue reading Development in ADDIE
Commonly we see the “design” and “development” steps in ADDIE are confused or combined. This may be ok especially with rapid instructional design; however, it is important to remember that they are two very different steps in the process. So today, we are going to focus on the design phase, but first we have to … Continue reading Design in ADDIE
