Onward and Upward: Introducing the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best PracticeTM

The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) Standards Committee the INACSL Board of Directors (BOD) introduce fourth edition Best Practice. Since originally announced in 2011, Practice have guided integration, use, advancement simulation-based experiences within academia, clinical practice, research. Healthcare professionals around globe continue to champion simulation; thus, allowing flourish. Before reflecting on revision process, it is necessary acknowledge how this past year has been a challenge simulationists world. Although COVID-19 pandemic disrupted healthcare practice simulation community stepped up with rapid pivot an unprecedented collaboration resources. Through camaraderie, we supported each other, our patients, teams, learners, frontline workers. massive virtual response careful consideration bring learners back face-to-face learning environments, facilitated patient safety, workers, continued educate students while showcasing teamwork As look future, are excited announce Standards' re-envisioning re-branding as engage global interprofessional herein referred SOBP (HSSOBPTM). For 2021 revision, gathered commence work later part 2018 focus placed historical foundational elements Practice, survey data from both membership community, current directions research, future recommendations noted 2016 Standards. In January 2019, welcomed medical librarian diverse team serve sub-committee members. Once was place, began by conducting extensive literature review Medical Librarian, Jean Hillyer. Clearly emerging need develop two new Standards: "Professional Development" "Prebriefing: Preparation briefing." It important note that rigorous discussion occurred regarding creation another Standard about simulation. After reviewing discussing multiple stakeholders including BOD, decision made “virtual” method would apply just other areas methodology: manikin-based, standardized patient, skill performance, online, etc. We recognize rapidly advancing technology may profound effect change iterations process not always easy, requiring constant thoughtful debate discussion. ever-evolving science, there continues be growth different modalities, applications, changes terminology, well unpredictable life such pandemic.
