Standards of Best Practice

International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) has developed the INACSL Standards of Best Practice: SimulationSM to advance the science of simulation, share best practices, and provide evidence based guidelines for implementation and training. 

• INACSL Standards of Best Practice
  
• Simulation Design
• Outcomes and Objectives
• Facilitation
• Debriefing
• Participant Evaluation
• Professional Integrity
• Simulation Enhanced IPE

The NCSBN Simulation Guidelines for Pre-licensure Nursing Education Programs

The Simulation Guideline Table includes the NCSBN Simulation Guidelines, examples of evidence that demonstrates your program meets the guidelines, a Faculty Preparation Checklist, and a Program Preparation Checklist.

Interprofessional Education Collabarative (IPEC)
IPEC works in collaboration with academic institutions, to promote, encourage and support efforts to prepare future health professionals so that they enter the workforce ready for interprofessional collaborative practice that helps to ensure the health of individuals and populations.

• IPEC Core Competencies

Association of Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE)
ASPE members from around the world have contributed to the development of the ASPE Standards of Best Practice (SOBP). The standards were written to ensure the growth, integrity and safe application of SP-based education practices.

• ASPE Standards of Best Practice

Society for Simulation in Nursing (SSH)
The Society for Simulation in Healthcare is a non-profit membership society committed to furthering and supporting the science of healthcare simulation.  Best standards are available for accreditation of simulation programs. SSH also provides experienced educators in healthcare simulation the opportunity to become certified in specific simulation areas.

Moulage for Manikins Book

• Moulage is the art of creating mock injuries for the purpose of training.
  
  
• The Simtech website has a section on moulage. At this site, you will find helpful downloads, links and 'how to' videos to help you master the art of moulage.
  
  
•  “Moulage for Manikins” by Ridgewater College Simulation Specialists is the cookbook we wrote. It includes all sorts of recipes for whipping up mock injury related goo and bodily fluids. Imagine if CPR Annie coughed up phlegm.The book can be ordered from Pocket Nurse, Amazon, and other retailers.
