SynopsisFacilitating in the healthcare technology evolution, this book provides nurses, medical professionals, and health educators with a needed resource for the roles and responsibilities of simulation operations specialists. As the use of simulation within healthcare has exploded, it requires a larger group of multitalented professionals to take on a variety of roles in order to educate the growing number of interdisciplinary learners. There are roles in larger simulation centers that did not exist five to ten years ago. Management of healthcare simulation centers is often provided by physicians and others with advanced degrees; however, there is a growing cadre of multidisciplinary professionals hired into academic, hospital, and freestanding healthcare simulation settings to assist with and facilitate functions that may include simulator and simulation operations, technology infrastructure, and simulation center design. This group of individuals may have limited healthcare and/or education background and virtually no access to published written resources specific to their work, regardless of the type of simulation area in which they are employed. Individual simulation centers are currently assembling materials for training of operations personnel, and this is the first compiled resource for those who specialize in simulation operations. This book provides readily accessible answers to common questions, and in addition, the book discusses the development of the pivotal role of the simulation operations specialist by reason of the innovative work that this group of professionals is conducting. The chapter coverage promotes the value of simulation and the associated outcomes while clarifying the operational needs of simulation., A focused guide for healthcare simulation operations in education and training With the growing use of simulation within the field of healthcare, Healthcare Simulation: A Guide for Operations Specialists provides a much needed resource for developing the roles and responsibilities of simulation operations specialists. The book illustrates the current state and evolution of the simulation professional workforce and discusses the topics necessary for the development of these pivotal roles. The book promotes the value of simulation-based education in healthcare and its associated outcomes while clarifying the operational requirements of successful simulations. Featuring numerous contributions from international experts, consultants, and specialists, Healthcare Simulation: A Guide for Operations Specialists presents advances in healthcare simulation techniques and also features: Coverage of the best practices and available technologies for healthcare simulation operations specialists within healthcare education, training, and assessment Interdisciplinary, practical examples throughout to help readers better understand the presented material An overview of the many facets of day-to-day operations within a healthcare simulation program Discussions regarding the concurrent need for understanding proper patient care that accompanies the human-to-machine interface in patient simulation Healthcare Simulation: A Guide for Operations Specialists is an excellent reference for healthcare simulation professionals including administrators, medical directors, managers, simulation technologists, faculty members, and educators in academic and healthcare settings. The book is also a useful supplementary textbook for graduate-level courses related to simulation and certificate programs in simulation education and simulation operations., A focused guide for healthcare simulation operations in education and training With the growing use of simulation within the field of healthcare, Healthcare Simulation: A Guide for Operations Specialists provides a much needed resource for developing the roles and responsibilities of simulation operations specialists.
