| Development, initial reliability and validity testing of an observational tool for assessing technical skills of operating room nurses | Summary
Feasibility: ICATS-N_ should be reasonably easy to use in real ORs and also in the context of simulation-based training.a. The tool is observational, and thus non-intrusive in its useb. The tool consists of a relatively small number of itemsc. The tool consists of observable behaviours (i.e., the amount of inference involved from the part of the rater/trainer is minimised) Feasibility was evaluated qualitatively: did the trainer OR nurse of our study find the tool usable?Reliability: ICATS-N_ should capture OR nurses’ technical skills consistently.The tool consists of observable behaviours (i.e., the amount of inference involved from the part of the rater/trainer is minimised) Reliability was evaluated quantitatively in the form of internal consistency (Cronbach a coefficients)Validity: ICATS-N_ should capture what it purports to capture (i.e., OR nurses’ technical skills). Face validity was evaluated qualitatively, via expert opinion in the development of the tool. Content validity was evaluated (i) qualitatively, via expert opinion in the development of the tool and (ii) quantitatively, via correlational analyses of core skills as defined in ICATS-N. |

| Prepositioning of supplies in preparation for a hurricane under potential destruction of prepositioned supplies | Summary
The solution of our model may be classified into two parts: the first is to be applied before the hurricane occurs. It consists of the selection of SPs (supply points) and their level of storage, which gives the amount of prepositioned units. The second part of our solution is the planned flow of units after the hurricane. |
