📝 Abstract
[Summary generated by AI] In this video, the author outlines how grassroots users catalyzed the creation of an enterprise-wide healthcare simulation program that integrates academic research and data analysis with health system resources to inform curriculum design and align activities with contemporary standards of practice. The approach emphasizes partnerships between the simulation team and subject matter experts—including faculty, staff, and clinicians—to co-develop scenarios beginning with clearly defined learning objectives. Methods include iterative planning meetings matched to scenario complexity, technical operations planning for delivery logistics, structured debriefing grounded in educational theory to shift learners from instructor-driven expectations to rationale-based decision-making, and continuous observation and assessment aimed at improvement. Resources leveraged include simulation facilities, mannequins and audiovisual support, interdisciplinary instructors, and close ties to clinical partners across departments. Outcomes and deliverables comprise objective-aligned simulation scenarios, standardized debriefing frameworks, identification of learning gaps with targeted practice opportunities, and enhanced learner confidence for pre-licensure through experienced practitioners. The person interviewed, a pulmonary and critical care physician, underscores the broader cultural impact of debriefing practices, which foster reflective inquiry and collaboration, enabling the program to iteratively develop a shared set of best practices and transform how learning occurs in the health system.
