CHSE Blueprint Review Workshop

Gain the confidence and knowledge you need to become a Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) by attending the Society for Simulation in Healthcare's (SSH) new CHSE Blueprint Review Workshop in partnership with INACSL. Earning the CHSE certification will help advance your career, position you as a leader in the field, and demonstrate your commitment to advancing simulation developments. This one-day course provides essential information on: 

  • The components of the CHSE certification process, including prerequisites, the application process, and study resources
  • How to identify areas of focus in your CHSE exam preparations
  • The tools you need to create your step-by-step action plan blueprint guided by well-known, experienced simulation experts

8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET

ASPE Workshop: Introduction to SP Case Development & Advanced Methods for Including Community Voices to Diversify Simulation Curriculum (morning workshop)

Presented by: Lou Clark, PhD, MFA – President-Elect, Association of SP Educators, Executive Director, M Simulation, University of Minnesota; Denise LaMarra, MS, CHSE, VP of Operations, Association of SP Educators, Director, SP Program, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania

The first part of this workshop will introduce participants to the SP case development process. Small groups will review Association of SP Educators (ASPE) Standards of Best Practice Domain 2 and transfer a case synopsis into the recently updated ASPE Case Development Template. Participants will develop an appreciation for the collaborative nature of case development and an understanding of how to use the Case Development Template to build robust cases.

In the second part of this workshop, presenters will share examples of how participants can build on the basics of case development to include partners from underserved community populations. Presenters will highlight examples of SP cases for nurse learners for which SP Educators collaborated with members of transgender/nonbinary and Native communities. Examples will include a review of the case development process with feedback from community members, lessons learned from piloting the new cases, and sharing updates with participating community members throughout the process.

Conception to Inception: The Journey of the Simulation Scholar 

Presented by: Julie Greenawalt, PhD, RNC-OB, CHSE; Mindi Anderson, PhD, APRN, CPNP-PC, CNE, CHSE-A, ANEF, FSSH, FAAN; Leann Horsley, PhD, RN, CHSE, CNE; Laura Gonzalez, PhD, APRN, CNE, CHSE-A, ANEF, FAAN

Often scholars who submit/present their scholarly projects at a conference do to not take the next step towards dissemination through publication. To facilitate success in the emerging scholar, four experienced simulationists have come together to share their stories and foster successes for future pioneers of scholarly publications. Successes and best-practices to achieve the desired goal of disseminating one’s work will be shared. Attendees will learn basic skills, easy tips, and best practices to begin their scholarly journey. From opportunities for funding, abstract development, manuscript publication, and dissemination of other practices.

SimGHOSTS: Making Hardware "Easy"ware (morning workshop)

Presented by: Erica Hinojosa, CHSOS-A, SimGHOSTS Board Secretary

This workshop will cover concepts and tips for maintaining and troubleshooting common simulation manikins and task trainer products, delving into how the software operation and programming interface can be used to enhance simulation delivery. Learn tips and tricks to support and maintain simulation equipment, as well as the technology interface between the physical tools and the operator.

 

1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET

Build Your Own EHR (Electronic Health Record): A Hands-On Workshop

Presented by: Valorie MacKenna, PhD, RN, CNE, CHASE; Dawn Sarage, MSN, RN, CNL, CMSRN, CHSE; Dan Roggi, Roston Kirk, BA

A gap in knowledge exists for nursing educators’ ability to provide Electronic Health Records (EHRs) training to nursing students. The updated Essentials for Nursing Education (AACN, 2021) recommend graduates of nursing programs develop competence with informatics and healthcare technologies. Limited access to EHRs in the clinical environment forces educators to find alternative solutions. Through active participation and following along with the step-by-step tutorial, all learners will be able to create and save a Google Sheets file as a reusable EHR chart element. First-time attendees will receive foundational design information, and returning participants will build on previously acquired skills and enhance their projects with new features, such as barcode scanning.

SIM Tours

Presented by: Rhode Island House

The Rhode Island Nursing Education Center (RINEC) is 133,000 square feet of laboratory, classroom and office space in collaboration with the Rhode Island College Onanian School of Nursing and the University of Rhode Island College of Nursing. The RINEC, overseen by the Rhode Island Office of the Postsecondary Commissioner, serves as a Providence-based facility for baccalaureate, masters and doctoral level curriculum delivery. The Center combines leading technology with a rigorous experiential learning curriculum, placing Rhode Island at the forefront of the nation in nursing education.

The various learning spaces – classrooms, labs, simulation suites, study areas – are all shared facilities between the two institutions. This collaborative, shared approach is in support of the RINEC mission: to provide a state-of-the-art center for the education of aspiring and practicing nurses who will lead the transformation of healthcare in Rhode Island and beyond. The Rhode Island College Onanian School of Nursing Simulation Program is accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare in the areas of Teaching and Education.

During this INACSL23 pre-conference SIM Tour:

  • Participants will learn how a fully functioning simulated apartment can enhance their activities.
  • Participants will learn how flexible spaces can expand their capacity, such as the multi-patient room (ER), and the standardized patient exams rooms.
  • Participants will learn how the RINEC catalyzes existing teaching and research, creates new learning opportunities, and fosters productive collaborations and partnerships.

The tour will include guides to help escort participants to the various demonstration projects within the simulation center and then participants are invited to attend a networking luncheon held within the building on the 3rd floor of the beautiful Riverview Lounge — one of the best views of the river and the city of Providence!
