Description

Simulation Centre Orientation Welcome Welcome to the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Simulation Centre (SC). This information will help you become more familiar with the Simulation Centre. The staff are here to support your learning. Our Mission The Simulation Centre creates an environment where health care students can acquire knowledge and practice the psychomotor skills and attitudes that are necessary to work in an inter-professional learning and working environment using basic, low, intermediate, and high level simulation. Vision Statement The Simulation Centre provides the foundation for experiential learning in a safe, supportive environment. Faculty instruction and student practice encompasses introductory to advanced level skills using a range of basic through high fidelity simulation and collaborative, inter-professional scenarios. Formative learning is enhanced through reflective practice during debriefing. This debriefing follows participation in simulations within a framework that supports the delivery of high quality, efficient, and safe client care. Our Goals     

To enrich the educational environment with experiential learning through simulation scenarios To support learners’ development of critical thinking, ethical decision-making, patient priorities, and leadership skills To transform healthcare education through kinesthetic experiences in a safe environment To enhance quality practice for clinical competence through increased learner confidence To achieve expertise in simulation best practices for a post-secondary educational institution

These have been implemented to ensure that all users of the labs will be able to enter and engage in teaching and learning in a safe environment. Respectful Conduct It is expected that respectful behavior will be demonstrated throughout the simulation experience. This includes interactions with Sim staff, the mannequin (or actor) and instructors and students. Since the labs are designed to characterize a lifelike clinical

Simulation Centre Orientation environment, all rooms are to be left tidy and ready to be used by the next group of learners. Sask Polytech Policy #1211 covers expected conduct of students including their behavior and attitude during simulations. Please review it by following this link: http://saskpolytech.ca/about/about-us/documents/policies/studentconduct1211.pdf

Likewise, the Harassment Policy #601 can be found at this link: https://saskpolytech.ca/about/about-us/documents/policies/harassment601.pdf

Students should read and be familiar with these policies and the respectful behavior expectations within the Simulation Centre. Requirements and guidelines are available for viewing upon request at the Administrative Assistant’s desk. The SC team asks students and program faculty to make themselves aware of the SC requirements and guidelines within this orientation document.

Simulation Laboratory Equipment Equipment may be signed out from the lab for independent practice (must be related to clinical practice: presentations, assessment) and community clinical. Equipment that leaves the lab must be signed-out with SC staff and returned by the required due date. Students are allowed access to the hospital unit for independent skill review. If you feel you need additional practice of a skill, discuss this with your instructor. If they support your request you can contact the Lab Coordinator, Theresa Cameron, to inquire about booking time in the lab to practice. Requests are reviewed and will be granted if lab time and supplies are available. You will be required to provide your name, student ID number, course number and name of instructor at the time of booking. Manual blood pressure cuffs can be signed out of the main campus library.

Ceiling lifts  available in Rooms 415 and 419 only  slings are provided in bedside table drawers Lost & Found – Room 417 *Please remember to take all of your items with you when leaving the Sim Centre. If personal items are left behind, they are kept in a bin on the Hospital Unit. Items will be disposed of if they are not retrieved by the end of the semester. The Lost & Found bin is located in Room 417 – ring the bell and staff will assist you. Simulation Simulation is likely a new environment for learners – students will make errors. The Sim Centre enables learners to make errors in a controlled setting, by providing the learner with opportunities to practice skills with an evaluation of their clinical decision-making immediately. Individual learners can use the hospital units for self-directed learning; faculty can use both the hospital and technology units for both student learning and evaluative purposes. The SC staff members are committed to providing a supportive and safe learning environment and ask that all learners and faculty utilizing the area do the same.

PRACTICE GUIDELINES REVISED:

May 16, 2018

PREAMBLE Employees, students and visitors are requested to follow the guidelines whenever possible, understanding that there may be occasions where some flexibility will be required. GUIDELINES Scented products are a serious health concern for a few people in our area and campus wide. If a scent is detected, we will eliminate further exposure by asking the person with the scent to remove themselves from the area and remove the scent before returning. Uniforms are worn in the Sim Centre along with clean/dry clinical appropriate footwear and proper Sask Polytech student photo identification. Jackets and backpacks must be placed in lockers provided in the hallway just outside of the Sim Centre. Locks may be borrowed from the Sim Centre for that purpose. Books that are required as part of the course content may be brought in.

Simulation Centre Orientation No food is allowed in the Simulation Centre. Fluids are permitted in the debriefing rooms and lab rooms if they are placed in a container with a tight fitting non spill lid or screw cap. Faculty may bring drinks into the control rooms under the same container guidelines. ** No food or fluids are allowed in the Simulation Rooms. Pencils are used in the simulation rooms when working with mannequins as ink from pens can transfer to the mannequins causing permanent damage. *Students are responsible to bring a pencil for every simulation experience. Standard precautions for infection control are used during the simulated learning experience. Hand sanitizer and gloves are available in every Sim Room. The Sim Centre follows a non-invasive medical practice procedure. Invasive practices may be followed according to specific school guidelines outside of the Sim Centre. *If invasive practices are required for programming needs, faculty will be required to notify Simulation Centre Program Head two weeks in advance. Telephones and computers in the simulation rooms and control rooms of the technology units are specifically configured for simulations. Do not attempt to use them for other functions.  If technical difficulties occur or if equipment is damaged or not working, please notify a Sim Centre staff member. Equipment loans for some programs are available for staff and students.  Equipment loans require assistance from a Sim Centre employee; items are signed out and returned.  Loan periods will vary depending upon the equipment requested and the current demand for access.  Future loan approval or cost recovery will be assessed if borrowed equipment is not returned by the designated date or is returned damaged.  A Sim Centre staff member will contact a person in the case of overdue equipment loans to request immediate return of the item(s). Leave the simulation Centre lab areas clean and tidy when you are done.  Beds should be placed in the lowest position, with brakes on and the overbed table placed over the middle of the bed. 

Linen hamper bags should be changed when ¾ full and placed next to the hamper, then replaced with a clean bag.
