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

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 competent in skills at the clinical facility. A force field analysis was completed to identify forces that support and oppose the change and to identify the organization's readiness to change. The force field analysis revealed an absence of the HFS technology utilization that allows educators to provide students with more real-life practice experience, stimulating decision-making skills, and more confidence in the workforce. During the design phase, the course syllabus consisting of the course description, course objectives, teaching, and instructional strat
