Guiding Principles
Chapter 3: INACSL Best Practice Standards
INACSL Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice have guided the integration, use, and advancement of simulation-based experiences within academia, clinical practice, and research.
The INACSL Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice consists of the following individual standards:
- Professional Development (NEW)
- Pre-briefing: Preparation and Briefing (NEW)
- Simulation Design
- Facilitation
- The Debriefing Process
- Operations
- Outcomes and Objectives
- Professional Integrity
- Sim-Enhanced IPE
- Evaluation of Learning and Performance
- Simulation Glossary
“As the Standards are living documents, there will aways be ongoing opportunities for change and growth within them and in our community of practice. We, as a simulation community, must continue to seek excellence and quality in simulation education and practice. We look forward to the future of healthcare simulation and the journey for excellence in best practice” (Watts et al., 2021, p. 2).
As you read through this faculty simulation toolkit, the INACSL Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice are interwoven to ensure that simulation experiences adhere to established guidelines and promote optimal learning outcomes. By embracing these standards and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, faculty can effectively leverage simulation as a powerful tool for enhancing clinical competencies and improving patient care.
