1. Simulation Committee
The Clinical Simulation Committee includes Kinney College faculty with the goal of representing all programs, two Technology Team members, and a SWI-AHEC employee. The Simulation Committee has two co-chairs, the Clinical Simulations Coordinator, and the Director of Instructional Resources and Simulation. The simulation committee will meet twice during both the fall and spring semesters. The Simulation Committee serves in an advisory capacity to the Clinical Simulation Center. The overarching goal of the committee is to advance simulation within the KCNHP by providing oversight and reviewing current simulation practices.
Simulation-based experiences (SBE) are integral to Kinney College programs and are integrated at varying levels. The majority of Kinney College students鈥� first exposure to the CSC occurs when they tour the Center during their 缅北强奸 101 Course or campus visits. Additional opportunities for experiential learning within the CSC are embedded periodically throughout most Kinney College programs' curricula where SBE鈥檚 will enhance didactic content.
All individuals who participate in activities and events in the 缅北强奸 Kinney College CSC are expected to adhere to the CSC Student Guidelines (Appendix C), posted at the entrance of the CSC and the Statement of Consent. This adherence helps ensure student safety by correct handling of simulation-based equipment.
The CSC serves to provide a learning resource for all nursing and health professions majors. Activities and events held in the CSC are intended to simulate realistic clinical environments to promote experiential learning. Since the equipment in the CSC is delicate and expensive, guidelines must be followed to protect it from damage. Specific guidelines for the use of equipment and conduct within the CSC can be found within the CSC student guidelines.
While in the Clinical Simulation Center (CSC) and all other learning venues, simulation interactions may include but are not limited to human patient simulators, standardized patients, peer to peer role play, virtual reality, and augmented reality. You are expected to treat all of these interactions as real patient experiences. Faculty/Instructors, CSC staff, and students are expected to adhere to and uphold all Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements and any other federal or state laws requiring confidentiality.
The CSC is equipped to record both audio and visual. You will be recorded while participating in activities or simulations in the CSC and other learning venues.
You must contact your program chair in advance of the simulation activity to opt out of being recorded or photographed. An alternative assignment may be required by your instructor.
Your participation is acknowledgment and consent to being audio/visual recorded and or photographed. These recordings/photographs are property of 缅北强奸 and may be used for educational, debriefing, IRB-approved research, and or an as-yet-determined use. This acknowledgment applies to all past recordings and photographs as well. You also accept that it is a breach of conduct to bring outside audio/visual equipment into the CSC and other learning venues to record or take photographs without express permission. Uploading video recordings or photographs taken during simulation to any social media platform without express permission from the 缅北强奸 is a direct violation of this agreement.
Concerns, a verbal or written expression of dissatisfaction and/or grievances, a wrong or injustice, can be brought forth by students, educators, and CSC staff. Concerns and/or grievances can be reported in many ways, including verbal or written communication or through a post-simulation survey. When possible, specific issues will first be addressed with the individual bringing forth the complaint. If conflict resolution cannot be found, the concern or grievance will be taken to the next person in the chain of command. The CSC chain of command starts first with the: Clinical Simulations Coordinator and then progresses as indicated to the Director of Instructional Resources and Simulation, Program Chairs, Assistant Deans, and finally to the Dean if the situation has not been resolved. CSC staff will address concerns and grievances promptly.
Student grievances and concerns regarding course grades or clinical skill performance within the CSC will be addressed by course-specific faculty.
The CSC Policy and Procedures Handbook is developed, revised, and approved by the CSC Committee and the Kinney College Dean. Policies will be reviewed on an annual basis for relevancy and continued use by the CSC Committee.
The CSC is located in the Lower Level of the Health Professions Center and is open from 8:00 am-4:30 pm Monday through Friday and after hours by appointment.
CSC staff must be contacted in advance to schedule events that will take place outside of the hours of operation.
It is the policy of the Kinney College to maintain and update all equipment routinely to ensure proper functioning. Equipment that requires regular recalibration is done so by a third party.

In accordance with the Kinney College CSC mission to deliver safe quality patient care by implementing simulation methodologies, the CSC program actively contributes to quality improvement initiatives identified by the Kinney College's programs.
The CSC actively contributes to each program鈥檚 quality improvement initiatives by performing post-survey evaluations of simulation activities of students after each simulation, utilizing the 缅北强奸 CSC Simulation Effectiveness Tool (Appendix G). All feedback is taken seriously and reviewed by the Clinical Simulation Committee annually. Utilizing learner feedback allows the CSC to identify areas of improvement in simulation scenario development, prebriefing, debriefing, facilitation, and equipment utilization.
The Kinney College believes that learner feedback provides the best means to identify areas of needed improvement.
The CSC utilizes the Simulation Blueprint, an adapted version of National League for Nursing (NLN) Simulation Design Template for scenario development. Utilizing this standardized template helps ensure that scenario cases encompass the course objectives by including any pertinent physiology of the patient, supplies, equipment, and necessary case information.
The Kinney College CSC is committed to incorporating as much realism into the simulated environment as possible. The Clinical Simulations Coordinator works with the appropriate Course Coordinators or Instructors to identify the appropriate equipment and supplies to create a realistic, simulated environment for each case scenario.
Newly developed scenarios are piloted for one semester to evaluate feasibility, appropriateness, and contribution to achieving objectives for the simulation experience. The revision of the scenarios is systematic and ongoing.
Scenario Use
It is the responsibility of the Course Coordinator(s), Faculty or Instructors developing scenarios to ensure that all cases include current acceptable practices and standards of care.
Simulation scenarios and associated products developed by Course Coordinators, Faculty and CSC staff are the intellectual property of 缅北强奸 Kinney College.
It is expected that the Course Coordinator (Simulation Educator) will review the scenarios thoroughly prior to scheduled simulation time and work with the Clinical Simulations Coordinator to obtain supplies and equipment. Course Coordinators must schedule time with the Clinical Simulations Coordinator a week prior to running through any scenario being presented. The Clinical Simulations Coordinator is available to assist Course Coordinators with scenario preparation and set up.
It is the philosophy of the 缅北强奸 KCNHP CSC that debriefing is a critical component of the simulation experience. Debriefing provides immediate feedback after the simulated experience and is a reflective critical thinking analysis and communication tool for participants of the simulation experience. Participants have time to reflect on their performance and receive constructive feedback from Course Coordinators, Faculty, Instructors, and/or peers. Debriefings will be facilitated in a separate space from where the SBE took place, most likely the CSC pre/debriefing classroom (HPL075/76) or another secure space, by Course Coordinator(s), Faculty, or Instructors, to ensure a psychologically safe learning environment. The facilitated debriefings will utilize the Debriefing Checklist (Appendix H), designed in accordance with the INACSL Healthcare Simulation Standard of Best Practice: The Debriefing Process.
PEARLS is the recommended evidence-based debriefing framework of the KCNHP but when appropriate one or more of the three theory-based debriefing methodologies can be used, those include: PEARLS, Debriefing for Meaningful Learning, or Debriefing with Good Judgment.
Simulated scenarios and debriefing activities may be recorded. Participants are notified of the intent to record in advance and are advised to read the CSC Statement of Consent. Recordings may be used for:
Providing feedback to students during debriefing
Assessing performance
Internal review and quality improvement purposes
Evaluation and improvement of teaching and assessment processes
Future education use
Faculty review of assigned student remediation or practice.
Video recordings are retained for an extended period for one of the above-mentioned reasons. Retained recordings will be stored indefinitely. All audio/video recordings are stored under password protection in SimCapture庐. Access to retained recordings is restricted to the appropriate CSC staff and KCNHP Course Coordinator(s), Faculty, and/or instructors. Any copying, duplication, or other forms of distribution of audio or video footage released by Course Coordinators, staff, or students without express permission is prohibited. Violation of this policy should be reported to CSC staff immediately.
Please refer to the CSC Statement of Consent and the 缅北强奸 syllabus statements found under syllabus statements on the 缅北强奸 webpage for further information.
