Can Simulation Scenarios Be Designed to Assess Ongoing Nursing Competence?
Abstract:
Learner-centered verification methods are at the core of Donna Wright's model for competency assessment. Using Wright's framework, an academic medical center studied the use of simulation as a verification method for their annual ongoing nursing competency assessment. Of the 10 pilot participants, 60% used simulation as a verification method to successfully show competence. Assuming adequate professional development practitioner and facility resources, simulation can be used as an option for ongoing competency assessment.
