Highlights
Paediatric in situ simulation within emergency departments is growing in popularity as an approach for improving multidisciplinary team working, enabling clinical skills development and exploring the importance of human factors in the clinical setting
Simulation allows the development of skills in a non-clinical setting, rather than with real patients and clinical errors can be used as a learning tool, rather than leading to detrimental clinical outcomes.[2]
The Royal College of Paediatric and Child Health created a simulation research subgroup to quantify the extent and content of child health relevant simulation research that has been undertaken in the UK in the previous decade.[3]
Summary
To identify the measures that can be used to assess performance during in situ paediatric emergency medicine simulations. Study selection A literature search of EMBASE, ERIC and MEDLINE was performed using the key terms (Paediatrics and Emergency and Simulation.) MeSH and subheadings were used to ensure all possible variations of the key terms were included within the search. Findings The search revealed 607 articles, with 16 articles meeting inclusion criteria. Three themes of evaluation strategy were identified—the use of feedback forms (56% n=9/16), performance evaluation methods (63% n=10/16) or other strategies (25% n=4/16), which included provider comfort scores, latent safety threat identification and episodes of suboptimal care and their causation
