There are many examples of hybrid simulation models in healthcare education which are designed to simulate specific scenarios. However, there appears to be a need for a cost effective and configurable hybrid simulation platform which can be used by educators of various healthcare disciplines to simulate different scenarios. The purpose of this paper is to develop a proof-of-concept platform that can be easily implemented at little cost and provide flexibility to healthcare instructors to develop a variety of simulation scenarios, and to determine the effectiveness of this platform. Using a standardized patient, a person acting as a patient in a scripted manner, along with wearable and web-based technologies, a congestive heart failure simulation was used as an evaluative exercise for a group of personal support worker students at a Canadian Community College. Personal support workers typically provide care to any person who may require personal assistance with activities of daily living such as feeding, lifting, bathing, skin care and oral hygiene to name a few. Standardized patients are typically used in healthcare education to educate and evaluate soft skills, such as caregiver to patient communication, professionalism, as well as hard skills, such as history taking, examination and diagnostic skills (Rosen in J Crit Care 23:157-166, 2008). Instructor feedback indicated that the platform was easy to use and capable of simulating a large variety of scenarios. Pre and post test results are evidence of initial findings of promise indicating that the platform seemed to be effective in enabling students to meet learning outcomes. Focus group results seem to indicate an increase in student confidence as it relates to their ability to handle a similar scenario in the workplace.
在医疗保健教育中有许多混合模拟模型的例子，这些模型旨在模拟特定场景。然而，似乎需要一个具有成本效益且可配置的混合模拟平台，供各个医疗保健学科的教育工作者用来模拟不同场景。本文的目的是开发一个概念验证平台，该平台可以低成本轻松实现，并为医疗保健教师提供灵活性，以开发各种模拟场景，并确定该平台的有效性。使用标准化患者（即按照脚本扮演患者的人）以及可穿戴和基于网络的技术，对加拿大一所社区学院的一组个人支持工作者学生进行了充血性心力衰竭模拟，作为一项评估练习。个人支持工作者通常为任何可能在日常生活活动中需要个人协助的人提供护理，比如喂食、搬运、洗澡、皮肤护理和口腔卫生等等。标准化患者通常用于医疗保健教育，以培养和评估软技能，如护理人员与患者的沟通、专业素养，以及硬技能，如病史采集、检查和诊断技能（罗森，《危重症护理杂志》23:157 - 166，2008年）。教师反馈表明该平台易于使用，能够模拟各种各样的场景。测试前和测试后的结果证明了初步的 promising 发现，表明该平台似乎有效地使学生达到学习成果。焦点小组的结果似乎表明，学生在处理工作场所类似场景的能力方面的信心有所增强。
