Hierarchy is pervasive in healthcare, and current strategies to train providers to ‘speak up’ are not enough to overcome the intense challenges that hierarchy creates. In this episode, Vic talks with Taryn Taylor and Adam Garber about their recent articles in Advances in Simulation. Both studies explore the experience of practitioners working in teams managing obstetric emergences. Their studies use clever scenario design and delivery to re-create hierarchy and power gradients, as an example of ‘sociological fidelity’.
Their insights are comprehensive, confronting but deeply resonant for healthcare professionals. We discuss their methods, their findings and what this might mean for simulation being part of the solution to addressing harms caused by hierarchy.

More interesting work in healthcare simulation this month, including some from our friends and colleagues.
Before that… A final reminder to register for Sim Reconnect ! – a 1 day seminar at Bond University on the Gold Coast.
And – if you’re working in translational or systems focused simulation – consider enrolling in the Bond subject Translational Simulation in healthcare, stand alone or as part of a Masters of Healthcare Innovations.
Now – the papers!
Rao et al. Daily team introductions and simulation education to improve team performance. Great paper from our friends at Logan Hospital, including Sonia Twigg
Roze des Ordons et al. Guiding, Intermediating, Facilitating, and Teaching (GIFT): A Conceptual Framework for Simulation Educator Roles in Healthcare Debriefing. From a team of thought leaders in simulation debriefing
Tsang et al. Electronic Decision Support in the Delivery Room Using Augmented Reality to Improve Newborn Life Support Guideline Adherence. A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study. New frontiers in tech enabled clinical decision support from a group n the Netherlands
Rochlen et al. Sequential Behavioral Analysis: A Novel Approach to Help Understand Clinical Decision-Making Patterns in Extended Reality Simulated Scenarios. More on the intersection of XR and our brains.

The August Journal Club is here, with Ben and Vic talking about 4 papers relevant to our simulation practice. How do simulation fellows learn some ‘tech skills’? Ahmed et all help us out with Development of a simulation technical competence curriculum for medical simulation fellows, with lessons about learning tech and about how to develop a curriculum. Then we consider ‘arts based pedagogy ‘ in Patrea Andersen’s A Nursing Simulation Pilot Study Comparing Art-Enhanced Debriefing and Traditional Debriefing. A fascinating way to try and enrich debriefing conversations using art cards. Translation of learning to practice is the subject of Jye Gard’s phenomenological study on Simulation translation differences between craft groups. We finish the episode with a review of the delightful editorial from IJoHS from Paul Murphy and Debra Nestel on Healthcare simulation terms: promoting critical reflection

“How can we push the boundaries of healthcare simulation research, leading to new insights and innovations?”
Advances in Simulation has announced a new thematic series. Methodological Innovations in Healthcare Simulation Research is “seeking manuscripts that challenge our collective thinking about how to conceptualise, frame, study, and theorise simulation in health and social care article type, in order to help advance our thinking about simulation research.”
In this short episode, Vic speaks with Professor Walter Eppich about the thematic series, and explores examples of methodologic innovations in simulation. A deeper dive can also be found in the accompanying editorial from Walter and Advances Editor in Chief Gabriel Reedy. We look forward to reading and discussing the submissions in this series!

Ben and Vic offer a short discussion about the self development modules created by a global team of simulation fellows. Ben explains his motivation in leading the project, and explains how simulation practitioners can use the modules for their own professional development. Peer learning, collaboration, and more. Modules can be found here, and feedback and reflections welcome.

Ben and Vic were back for the July Simulcast Journal Club, with four interesting articles.
Imposters was our first topic – and the prevalence of imposter syndrome among simulation faculty. (and take the chance to look at the IJOHS while you’re on their site) We followed with a paper about anxiety and performance in pre-hospital care students undergoing simulation based assessment.
We enjoyed talking about the nuanced challenges and strategies for debriefing interprofessional simulation, and finished with a discussion of calculating cost effectiveness for simulation-based quality improvement projects.
As mentioned on the podcast – express your interest for our Simulation:Reconnect event in November. Registrations open in August.

Most of us would like to improve our simulation debriefing skills, but data informed feedback on our debriefing performance is hard to find. Maybe Andrew Coggins and colleagues are helping us change all that? Maybe there are metrics and measures of our debriefing performance that can help?
In this conversation, Vic speaks with Andrew Coggins about his recent Advances article Immediate faculty feedback using debriefing timing data and conversational diagrams. In this work, the team “explored the use of recording length of contributions during debriefings and use of conversational diagrams as a means of assessment of debriefing performance”.
They build on work from Peter Dieckmann in 2009 who described “The art and science of debriefing in simulation: Ideal and practice” relationships in diagram form between participants, as well as a simple chess clock for the timing data.
This is an interesting chat that might just change your debriefing practice.

Who is @sim_brick on Twitter?
Vic, Ben and Jess discuss the big issues on the May Simulcast Journal Club.
We started on a more serious note – and discussed articles on working with simulated patients to assess the quality of healthcare, and using Forum Theatre to help healthcare professions manage patients who have suffered domestic abuse. We then talked about learning curves, and a systemic review looking at their use and reporting in healthcare simulation research. For another review of that article pop over to the Key Lime podcast for their take.
We finished up with a paper highlighting the use of Lego Serious Play for training in debriefing. And that led us to wonder #whois@sim_brick …

Disclaimer: We discuss a commercially available product in this episode. Simulcast nor any of the team received any incentive, financial or otherwise, for hosting, recording or producing this episode and were not influenced in the questions selected.
I was thrilled to be joined by two amazing guests to explore a space in the expanding world of virtual simulation for nursing education. Welcome to Simulcast Julie Stegman Vice President of the Nursing Segment of the Health Learning, Research & Practice (HLRP) business at Wolters Kluwer, and Professor Jacqueline Semaan, Simulation and Nursing Skills Lab Coordinator and Nursing Faculty at Lake Superior School of Nursing.
We discussed the socio-political context around gaps and need in nursing education and then dived into the development and early evaluation of the vSim package, all the while drawing extensions to broader opportunities.
Enjoy the chat. Cheers, Jesse
