EQUIPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT • Match Fidelity to Objectives: High-fidelity manikins for airway and cardiac care; mid-fidelity models for trauma, assessment, and communi - cation drills. • Optimize Lab Design: Modular, reconfigurable spaces that allow rapid scenario turnover. Integrate video and sound recording for observation and debriefing. • Add Portable Simulation Capability: Bring training to the field with mobile units or in-situ setups to reinforce team readiness. • Ensure Faculty Proficiency: Provide regular instructor training on hard- ware, software, moulage, and scenario development. DEBRIEFING AND EVALUATION • Implement a Standardized Debrief Model: Advocacy–Inquiry or Plus– Delta frameworks encourage open reflection and psychological safety. • Track Learning Data: Maintain dashboards for performance metrics and skill trends. These serve as compliance documentation for audits and grants. • Plan Reinforcement: Schedule monthly booster drills to combat skill decay and integrate feedback from prior debriefs. • Encourage Reflective Practice: End sessions with “commitments to change” that learners revisit in future simulations. CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT • Review Outcomes Quarterly: Compare training metrics to field data (e.g., compression quality, ROSC rates, intubation success). • Update Scenarios Annually: Reflect new standards, research findings, or system priorities. • Document ROI: Capture cost-benefit results such as shorter onboarding, lower turnover, or improved certification outcomes. • Foster a Culture of Learning : Simulation should never be punitive, it should be an evolving process of growth and collaboration. When your checklist is complete, your organization will have a structured, evidence-based, and future-ready simulation program capable of producing confident, competent, and collaborative EMS professionals.
