AIM
The aim of this study was to review and assess current research on simulation as a method of competency assessment among health care professionals and the efficacy of simulation-based competency assessment compared to standard methods.
BACKGROUND
Simulation has been proven to be an effective instructional methodology for many health care specialties. However, there is a limited amount of research on simulation as a method of competency assessment.
METHOD
Articles regarding competency assessment by simulation in health care professionals were reviewed from academic databases based on inclusion/exclusion criteria.
RESULTS
The effectiveness of simulation as a method of competency assessment needs further study in order to provide conclusive evidence of benefits. Assessment of high-risk, low-frequency skills promotes patient safety in situations that may occur infrequently enough to prevent continued practice of skills.
CONCLUSION
This systematic review indicates that simulation may be a safe and effective method of competency assessment in health care professionals.
