The Best Of Both Worlds: An Interactive Demonstration of

“The Combined Solution” Elsevier’s Simulation Learning System

and CAE Simulator

Deborah Bambini, PhD, WHNP-BC, CNE Associate Professor - Grand Valley State University

Donna Wells, PhD, RN, CHSE eSolutions Implementation Manager – Elsevier

Amy Leach, MSN-Ed, RN eSolutions Implementation Consultant - Elsevier

Objectives

Describe the advantages of the “Combined Solution” partnership between Elsevier and CAE for nursing educators

Experience the advantages during an actual simulation

Describe advantages of incorporating simulation as a teaching strategy outside of the simulation lab

What IS the Simulation Learning System (SLS)?

217 Simulation Scenarios… and growing! Pre- and post-simulation readings, quizzes, and

activities, QSEN –based performance objectives, detailed setup instructions, Patient and additional participant response guides, textbook linkages

Fully functional EHR – SimChart Debriefing guides

Skills Drills – over 600

CAE PNCI • 15 Med-Surg Scenarios • 6 Fundamentals • 13 Pediatric • Program files

SLS • 36 Med-Surg Scenarios • 12 Fundamentals • 20 Pediatric • SimChart • Student activities • QSEN integration

EXPERIENCE THE BENEFITS…. Let’s run a simulation:

PREPARE THE SIMULATION: MAKING IT HAPPEN

RUN THE SIMULATION

Debriefing… Arguably THE

most important aspect of quality simulations

Post-simulation Activities

Care Planning/Concept Mapping Quiz Reflective Journaling Respond to selected Discussion Questions in

written format

Beyond The Sim Lab: Creative Ways to Use the SLS

Care Planning and/or Concept Mapping

Divide class into small groups Have each group create a care plan or concept

map for a different client, perhaps all focused on 1 concept

Compare/contrast the plans, discuss individualization

Critical Thinking Activity: Example

Review Susan Weil’s EHR Identify the data on her nursing admission history

that would indicate a risk for impaired perfusion Identify conditions related to impaired perfusion for

which she is most at risk Evaluate Mrs. Weil’s laboratory results, noting which

are normal/abnormal, and identify the implications Develop a care plan for Mrs. Weil focused on

prevention of impaired perfusion complications

Create Unfolding Cases

Present to the Class as an Unfolding Case

Susan Weil is a 76-year-old white female with a history of hypertension and osteoporosis. She presented to the emergency department at 1300 Tuesday afternoon with severe right hip pain following a fall.

Have Students Direct You To: Emergency department record

Take them to the EHR or assign groups to go to different tabs

Evaluate lab values Identify nursing diagnoses

Admission to the floor Nursing admission Orders – labs, medications, nutrition…

Current status – Patient report
