Under the umbrella of simulation today, we have a larger repertoire of choices in our educational journey and outreach to improve learners’ clinical decision-making when caring for patients. These provide a platform for us to evolve healthcare simulation from its traditional, uni-modality mode, to more complex, high-fidelity, integrated and engaging multi-modality techniques.
This keynote lecture gives an overview on hybrid simulation, an approach which utilizes at least 2 different simulation modalities, with proper alignment, coordination and interfacing between the modules. The main objectives for using hybrid simulation include:
- To facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and skills through the best combination of methodologies;
- To improve clinical performance at all levels of care;
- To motivate and inspire learners in their educational continuum and
- To provide a rich, exciting and stimulating learning platform and environment to trigger deep learning and understanding.
During the lecture, examples and case studies utilizing hybrid simulation in transforming healthcare simulation were discussed.
