CHSOS Study Guide Exam 2024

CHSOS Study Guide Exam 2024 Actor - CORRECT ANSWER-In health care simulation, professional and/or amateur people trained to reproduce the components of real clinical experience, especially involving communication between health professionals and patients or colleagues (Australian Society for Simulation in Healthcare). Advocacy and Inquiry - CORRECT ANSWER-• A method of debriefing in which an observer states what was observed or performed in a simulation activity (advocacy) or shares critical or appreciative insights about it explicitly (advocacy) and then asks the learners for an explanation of their thoughts or actions (inquiry)(Rudolph et al, 2007). • Inquiry seeks to learn what others think, know, want, or feel; whereas advocacy includes statements that communicate what an individual thinks, knows, wants or feels (Bolman & Deal, 2013).

Alpha and Beta Testing - CORRECT ANSWER-• Alpha- early testing of a product by the developers or programmers, but not by potential users. The purpose of alpha-testing is to find and resolve as many 'bugs' or problems in the software that were unanticipated during the design and development. (Lee-Jayaram et al, 2019) • Beta - early testing of a software, program, simulation, or game, by potential users. The purpose of beta-testing is identical to alpha-testing. (Lee-Jayaram et al, 2019) Artificial Intelligence (AI) - CORRECT ANSWER-A system of computerized datagathering and prediction that models human behavior and decision-making with minimal human intervention. In healthcare simulation, AI often refers to underlying programming that provides physiological or systembased algorithm changes based on inputs from users and learners. Often paired with machine learning, in which the software is programmed to alter algorithms and predictions based on observed data and results without human intervention. Virtual patients use artificial intelligence to react appropriately to the user or learner. (Bennett and Hauser, 2013) Assessment - CORRECT ANSWER-Refers to processes that provide information about or feedback about individual participants, groups, or programs. Specifically, assessment refers to observations of progress related to knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA). Findings of assessment are used to improve future outcomes (Scheckel, 2016; INACSL Standards Committee, 2016c, pp. S39-S40). • Involves measurement of the KSAs which can be recorded (Levine, DeMaria, Schwartz, & Sim, 2014). Formative - a type of assessment (sometimes called an evaluation) "wherein the facilitator's focus is on the participant's progress toward goal attainment through preset criteria; a process for an individual or group engaged in a simulation activity for the purpose of providing constructive feedback for that individual or group to improve (National League for Nursing Simulation Innovation Resource Center [NLN-SIRC], 2013; Scheckel, 2016)" (INACSL Standards Committee, 2016c, p.S41). Often completed at the same time as the instruction (Hamdorf & Davies, 2016), development of the individual is the focus for the simulation objectives/outcomes to be reached (INACSL Standards Committee, 2016c). • Summative - a type of assessment (sometimes called an evaluation) "at the end of a learning period or at a discrete point in time in which participants are provided with feedback about their achievement of outcome through preset criteria; a process for determining the competence of a participant engaged in healthcare activity. The assessment of achievement of outcome criteria may be associated with an assigned grade (NLN-SIRC, 2013; Scheckel, 2016)" (INACSL Standards Committee, 2016c, p. S41). Performance of the individual is compared to a specific standard (Hamdorf & Davies, 2016). • High-stakes - a type of assessment (sometimes called an evaluation) "associated with a simulation act Assessor - CORRECT ANSWER-• A person who performs assessment of individuals according to pre-established criteria. • Assessors must have specific and substantial training, expertise, and competency in assessment (D).
