Avatar Ans- Graphical representation of the user or user's alter ego or character. It may take either a 3- dimensiona form, as in games or virtual worlds, or a 2-D form as an icon in Internet forums and other online communities. Behavioral Skills Ans- the decision-making and team interaction processes used during team's management of a situation best practices Ans- An idea that asserts that there is a technique, method, process, activity, incentive, or reward that is more effective at delivering particular outcomes than any other technique, method, process, and so on. the most efficient (least amount of effort) and effective (best results)way of accomplishing a task based on repeatable procedures that have proven themselves over time for large numbers of people Briefing Ans- This refers to any activity that occurs prior to a simulation event such as an educational activity. This can include giving instructions, guidelines, or directives. This can be for the instructional staff as well as for the learners. CABG Ans- coronary artery bypass grafting CHF Ans- congestive heart failure CHSE Ans- Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator CHSE-A Ans- Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator-Advanced CHSOS Ans- Certified Healthcare Simulation Operations Specialist CHSOS program Ans- A term used throughout various documents and resources of the CHSOS certification. It is a general term used to encompass any and all activities related to the application, verification, certification granting, administrative, and other functions performed in the certification program. COPD Ans- chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Clinical scenario (simulated scenario) Ans- A plan of an expected and potential course of events for a simulated clinical experience. Computer-based simulation Ans- Simulation activities that are performed via a computer program. These are similar to virtual reality simulations, but do not include additional interfaces between the learner and the computer. Confederate Ans- An individual other than the patient who is scripted in a simulation to provide realism, additional challenges, or additional information for the learner. Construct validity Ans- the degree to which a test measures what it claims, or purports, to be measuring Content validity Ans- The extent to which a measure represents all facets of a given social construct. It requires the use of recognized subject matter experts to evaluate whether test items assess defined content and more rigorous statistical tests than does the assessment of face validity. Core standards Ans- The fundamental simulation education standards that have been developed by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare Certification Committee as a cooperative effort with input from other simulation societies and groups. Critical thinking Ans- A disciplined process that requires validation of data, including any assumptions that may influence thoughts and actions, and then careful reflection on the entire process while evaluating the effectiveness of what has been determined as the necessary actions to take. The process entails purposeful, goal-directed thinking and is based on scientific principles and methods (evidence) rather than assumptions and conjecture. Cueing Ans- Information provided by instructors or designated participants in the simulation that helps the student progress through the simulation activity by providing information about the step the student is on or is approaching. Cut Suit Ans- The human worn partial task surgical simulator. In realistic scenarios it simulates the treatment of the 3 most common causes of preventable death on the battlefield, including hemorrhage from extremity wounds, tension pneumothorax and airway compromise. debriefing Ans- Activity that follows a simulation experience led by a facilitator wherein feedback is provided on the simulation participants' performance while positive aspects of the completed simulation are discussed and reflective thinking encouraged. DM Ans- diabetes mellitus DOB Ans- date of birth ECHO Ans- echocardiography, echocardiogram EEG Ans- electroencephalography, electroencephalogram Embedded participant Ans- scenario guide, scenario role player, or confederate; assigned to help guide the scenario; The guidance may be influential as positive, negative, or neutral or as a distractor. ETOH Ans- ethyl alcohol Evidence-based Ans- Educational materials or methods that have been proven through rigorous evaluation and research. Experiential learning Ans- The process of making meaning from direct experience. Face validity Ans- the extent to which a test is subjectively viewed as covering the concept that it purports to measure Facilitation Ans- Any activity which makes tasks for others easy, or tasks that are assisted. Feedback Ans- Information given or dialogue between participants, facilitator, simulator, peer with the intention of improving the understanding of concepts or aspects of performance. FHM Ans- fetal heart monitor FHR Ans- fetal heart rate Fidelity Ans- Describes the level of realism associated with a particular simulation activity. Formative evaluation Ans- Evaluation wherein the evaluator's focus is on the learner's progress toward goal achievement. A process for determining the competence of a person engaged in a healthcare activity for the purpose of providing constructive feedback for the person to improve. FSBS Ans- finger stick blood sugar Full body patient simulator Ans- A realistic, full-body, wireless manikin which offers comprehensive clinical functionality to teach the core skills of airway, breathing, cardiac, and circulation management. Full scale simulation Ans- A device or scenario that allows simulation of tasks related to applicable learners for a given operational requirement. It is capable of simulating the operational environment (e.g. audio, visual, and tactile) to achieve maximum realism and training effectiveness. guided reflection Ans- The process used by the facilitator during debriefing that reinforces the critical aspects of the experience and encourages insightful learning, allowing the participant to assimilate theory, practice, and research in order to influence future actions. haptic Ans- Tactile feedback technology which takes advantage of the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user.
