Abstract:
This CE presentation will delve into best practices for the evaluation / measurement of learning outcomes in Simulation-Based Experiences (SBE). As part of this, definitions of key measurement terms will be introduced. The presentation will then follow with a dive into current tools which are available and that have data supporting their use. Dr. Sanko will also note where to find measurement tools for both simulation specific constructs as well as non-sim specific constructs. Finally, she will present an overview for how to modify tools and briefly speak to the process of creating new tools and the psychometric evaluation of existing, modified and newly created tools.
Learning Objectives:
- Define key measurement terms available in clinical simulation experiences.
- Identify and locate published measurement tools and elements of their attributes that make them appropriate for use in healthcare simulation.
- Discuss best practices for selecting, modifying, and creating new measures to evaluate and improve clinical and educational outcomes.
