Healthcare Simulation Training Guidelines and Literature Reviews From the Third Society for Simulation in Healthcare Research Summit.

The Society for Simulation in Healthcare held its third research summit in January 2023 with the aim of establishing evidence-based guidelines for healthcare simulation training. A panel of researchers, clinicians, and subject-matter experts conducted reviews of the literature addressing 12 key topics and followed a formal process to generate 16 guidelines for simulation-based training in healthcare. Eleven peer-reviewed literature reviews accompany these guidelines.

The Impact of Environmental Context on Intern Sign-Out Quality.

Background: Resident duty-hour restrictions have led to more sign-out transitions, increasing the potential for preventable harm. An unfavorable environment is expected to exacerbate sign-out risks to patient safety.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of noise, interruptions, long sign-outs, and sign-outs exceeding allotted time on sign-out quality.

Toward Live Virtual Constructive Simulations in Healthcare Learning.

This article explores the combination of live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) simulations in healthcare. Live, virtual, and constructive simulations have long existed in the military, but their consideration (and deployment) in medical and healthcare domains is relatively new. We conducted a review on LVC- its current application in the military domain -and highlight an approach, challenges, and present suggestions for its implementation in healthcare learning.

Sustaining Teamwork Behaviors Through Reinforcement of TeamSTEPPS Principles.

Background: Teamwork training improves short-term teamwork behaviors. However, improvements are often not sustained.

Question/purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the extent to which teamwork reinforcement activities for orthopedic surgery teams lead to sustained teamwork behaviors.
