Telesimulation in Simulation-Based Medical Education for High-Acuity Low-Occurrence Procedures and Clinical Encounters for Physicians and Medical Trainees in Emergency Medicine: Protocol for a Systematic Review
ABSTRACT
Background:
Proficiency in high-acuity low-occurrence (HALO) procedures and clinical encounters is important for physicians and medical trainees in emergency medicine. Simulation based medical education (SBME) offers physicians and medical trainees with learning opportunities for HALO procedures and clinical encounters. Access to SBME can be difficult. Telesimulation in SBME can help make HALO proficiency more accessible to physicians and medical trainees be challenging in remote locations.
Objective:
Based on this review, the research team aims to evaluate the effectiveness of SBME delivered remotely on improving learner skills in emergency medicine and to provide insights on the conditions under which synchronous versus asynchronous methods can be used effectively.
Methods:
A systematic review will be conducted using the electronic databases PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and Cochrane. The search will be limited to studies published in English from 2011 to present. To be included, studies must focus on the delivery of SBME with telesimulation to teach or enhance the skills necessary for HALO procedures and clinical encounters in emergency medicine. Qualitative and quantitative studies will be analyzed.
Results:
The results of the systematic review will be available 18 months after the publication of this protocol.
Conclusions:
The results of the systematic review could be used to develop research-led SBME for HALO procedure in emergency medicine. By investigating this topic more effective SBME sessions can be planned in the future, which has the potential to benefit the skills of practitioners and medical trainees.
