Subject to each of the studies:E.g. 3rd Study: 5-point Likert-scale ratings to show confidence in ability to respond to a CBRNE incident (before and after trainings).

Simulation for ward processes of surgical care

Conducting ward round appropriately with all the charts being checked for each patient. In the paper, it is indicated that there are more assessment indicators for complex tasks but these tasks are not included in detail in the article.

Simulation-assisted burn disaster planning.

Performance indicators:Assess and evaluate content of alarm Declaration of major incident for regional health care within own region Decision on level of alert for staff Establish contact with burn centre within own region (local level) Establish contact with burn centre in other region Establish contact with affected region Deliver preliminary referrals for burns Decide on inventory; ensure the base information for a more definitive distribution of burnsFormulate general guidelines for national burn response and coordinationCreate basis for first bulletin (internal + external)Assess whether national coordination of ambulance transport resources (EMS + HEMS) needs to be establishedEnsure that there is adequate information for decision on referrals (deliver definitive key for distribution of burns and notify all burn centres) Identify the need for cooperation with other national authorities and international networks based on the burn assessment Create base information for depiction of the national situation
