The effect of a simulation-based training intervention on the performance of established critical care unit teams.

Setting: A simulated critical care ward, using a high-fidelity patient simulator, in a university simulation center.At the beginning and end of the 10-hr study day, each team undertook two preintervention and two postintervention assessment simulations40 teams from critical care units within the region comprising one doctor and three nurses

The effectiveness of a disaster training programme for healthcare workers in Greece.

Source population: 224 healthcare workers in a public hospital [mix of senior and junior staff]. Final study population: 56 participants -- Power and sample size calculations showed that 46 elements were required in order to have a 90% chance of detecting as significant (at the 5% level) an absolute increase in score equal to 7%.The comparison group that was used in order to compare their results with the intervention group results included 35 individuals who did not take part in the and were willing to complete the questionnaire.

The Role of Simulation and Modeling in Disaster Management.

The discipline of simulation modeling includes giving attention to details of system composition and entity relationships (mathematical and logical). The steps for building a simulator may be outlined as follows:1. Formulate the problem with the following leading questions.a. What operations and functions produce the systems output?b. What procedural elements exist in the systems operation?c. What interactions occur between functional units of the system?d. What information is available to characterize the operations, functions, and procedures of the system?2. Define the project goal, critical performance measures, modeling objectives, and system to be modeled (e.g., scope and level of detail)3. Specify the model.4. Construct the model.a. Define experimental controls (input and context variables)b. Construct the internal interactions (design variablesand alternatives)5. Run, verify and validate the simulation model.6. Use the simulator to produce and analyze solution alternatives.
