The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted healthcare simulation, prompting its evolution into a professional practice. A new manifesto emphasizes safety, advocacy, and leadership to build resilience in simulation practice.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Simulation
- Medical Education
- Professional Practice
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruption to healthcare simulation operations globally.
- The crisis highlighted the need for a re-evaluation of healthcare simulation's role and structure.
- Existing approaches to simulation were challenged, necessitating adaptation and innovation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a manifesto for the evolution of healthcare simulation as a professional practice.
- To establish a framework for enhancing the resilience of healthcare simulation.
- To define key tenets for the future of healthcare simulation.
Main Methods:
- Development of a manifesto based on a comprehensive understanding of healthcare simulation.
- Identification of three core tenets: safety, advocacy, and leadership.
- Formulation of a call to action for simulationists worldwide.
Main Results:
- Healthcare simulation is redefined as a professional practice, not just a tool or technique.
- A manifesto founded on safety, advocacy, and leadership is presented.
- A strategic approach to strengthen healthcare simulation resilience is outlined.
Conclusions:
- Adopting a commitment to comprehensive safety is crucial for healthcare simulation.
- Collaborative advocacy and ethical leadership are essential for advancing the field.
- The proposed manifesto provides a roadmap for the future of healthcare simulation practice.
