Georges Bordage: Verbesserung der Authentizität und Reliabilität der Bewertung von standardisierten Patienten: Evidenzbasierte praktische Ratschläge

Ich werde im Rahmen meiner Keynote Präsentation sieben evidenzbasierte praktische Verbesserungsvorschläge vorstellen, um (a) die Reliabilität der Bewertungen von standardisierten Patienten zu verbessern (inkl. SP vs Dozenten als Bewerter) und b) die Authentizität der SP-Fälle zu verbessern (inkl. diskriminierende Checklistenelemente, Gebrauch von Laien vs Medizinsprache, zusätzliche Fragen pro Fall, Gebrauch von Einfüllfragen, vermeiden von Frage-Antwort Szenarios und Bedeutung von Kommunikationskenntnissen).

Debra Nestel: Educational principles for teaching and learning in simulation

Simulation-based education in healthcare has expanded rapidly over the last twenty years. Theoretical underpinning for teaching and learning with this educational method is often overlooked. In this presentation, key theories and their relevance to planning, delivering and evaluating simulation-based educational activities will be outlined. Examples will be drawn from simulated patient methodology. The concept of simulated patients as ‘proxies’ for real patients will be discussed focusing on issues of authenticity in performance and feedback.

Debra Nestel is Professor of Medical Education, Gippsland Medical School, Monash University, Australia. After completing an Arts Degree at Monash, Debra spent the next twenty-five years at the University of Hong Kong and Imperial College London. In 2008, Debra returned to Monash where she is responsible for educational research and programmatic evaluation in a medical curriculum. Her research interests include the role of simulation in the development of clinical skills. Debra has over one hundred peer reviewed publications in the field of clinical communication and simulation based education.

Suzan Kardong-Edgren: Oh Pioneers! Why Simulation will NOT go Away

Simulation is a disruptive technology that will become the standard of care in nursing education in the future, although some of us don’t believe it yet. The current state of simulation in nursing education, and gaps and successes in the integration and implementation of simulation will be highlighted. The challenges for nursing educators as they adopt simulation are real and major, but will be worth the efforts and will improve patient care.

Suzan (Suzie) Kardong-Edgren PhD, RN is an assistant professor of nursing at Washington State University in Spokane, Washington. She is the Editor-in-Chief of Clinical Simulation in Nursing, the online journal of the International Nursing Association of Clinical Simulation and Learning. Dr. Edgren serves as a consultant for the National Council of State Boards of Nursing on a national multi-site study to evaluate the use of simulation in clinical learning. She served on the Laerdal Medical Corporation and National League for Nursing project, which developed the Simulation Innovation Resource Center, a website of simulation resources and courses for nursing simulation.

Devra Cohen-Tigor: High Stakes, High Energy and High Hopes - The Challenges of Standardized Patient (SP) Assessment

SP Methodology and its subsequent programs throughout the world have grown exponentially in the past decade. Teaching using SP's has been the traditional starting ground when developing these medical education programs either in communications curriculum or history taking. Increasingly however, medical boards, institutions and health commissions are incorporating SP Methods into their high stakes assessments and/or examinations. We will look at the evolution of this interactive teaching and assessment approach and its historical influences in North America. Following, a more detailed exploration of the differences and challenges that present themselves when utilizing SP's for a high stakes assessment versus teaching exercises will be discussed. Delving into such processes as inter relater reliability, controls for exam safety and SP training issues when the stakes are high. Participants should go away with a better understanding and appreciation for the history of this mythology and the time and attention involved in the day to day development, facilitation and data collection of these examinations.

Devra S. Cohen-Tigor is the past Director of the Morchand Center for Clinical Competence and Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Education at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM). She had been with the Morchand Center a standardized patient center since it’s inception in 1991. In her role as Director, she oversaw the center operations and SP program development that is incorporated throughout the undergraduate and graduate curriculum. She also developed and supervised programming for multiple other medical schools and health institutions throughout the metropolitan area and beyond. The center became internationally known for its expertise in assessing clinical skills including history taking, physical examination, communication as well as cultural competency utilizing SP methodology. Ms. Cohen-Tigor is recognized as an expert in the area of communication skills training and assessment and has created and facilitated multiple unique programs such as: the Nurse/Physician Collegiality Program, Communication Training Program for New York Organ and Tissue Donor Coordinators, Genetic SP Counseling Training Program, and Bad News Communication, Faculty Practice Associates Customer Service Training and Advance Directives Initiative. She has also lectured world wide on the topic of SP Methodology in Teaching and Assessment and helped facilitate many other SP Programs at other institutions. Currently she is developing her own consulting company; DCT Communication and Consulting; providing lectures and workshops nationally and internationally. She is also an Associate Professor in the Union Graduate College – Mount Sinai Bioethics Program. There she is in charge of developing the communication / interpersonal skills curriculum and assessment program as well as lecturing on several topics such as Mediation / Facilitation, The Many Hats of the Clinical Ethicist and How to Deliver Effective Presentations.
