Description

by Janice Palaganas, Beth Ulrich, Beth Mancini

Simulation is an essential tool in academic and clinical settings, but technology changes quickly, and faculty, students, and clinicians need to know how to respond. Understanding simulation scenarios and environments is critical when designing and implementing effective programs for interdisciplinary learners. In this fully revised second edition of Mastering Simulation, nationally known experts Janice Palaganas, Beth Ulrich, and Beth Mancini guide students and practitioners in developing clinical competencies and provide a solid foundation for improving patient outcomes.

This fully revised new edition covers:

Creating simulation scenarios and improving learner performance

Designing program evaluations and managing risk and quality improvement

Developing interprofessional programs and designing research using simulation
