Sample C947 Curriculum Proposal 6 /High-Fidelity Simulation for Postpartum Hemorrhage

High-Fidelity Simulation for Postpartum Hemorrhage Western Governors University College of Health Professions HIGH-FIDELITY SIMULATION FOR POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE 2 Executive Summary This proposal addresses a curriculum gap identified at Western University as the lack of utilization of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) in the prevention and management of postpartum hemorrhage module. A proposed curricular change from LFS to High-fidelity simulations (HFS) to improve the student’s confidence and clinical skills is recommended. The Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model was utilized as a guide for the recommended curricular change proposal. During the analysis phase, a gap analysis was completed to identify the curriculum gap of their current practice. The analysis discovered that underutilization of HFS in preventing and managing postpartum hemorrhage module. A thorough literature review was completed that identified that when nursing students are exposed to simulations, they are more confident and
