Background:
Healthcare professionals need to constantly update and renew their knowledge in line with the evolution of health care methods and practises in order to be best prepared to work in critical situations. The project aims to improve patient safety in certain life-threatening situation and to establish a competency-based, sustainable system of simulation-based vocational training in primary health care in three countries; Slovenia, Croatia and N. Macedonia.
Methods:
We will achieve this by developing and implementation of a 2-level simulation-based competency model for trainers of medical staff. The target groups of the project are teachers and mentors of family medicine/urgent medicine, teachers and mentors of health sciences (nurses) and team member at the primary care (family physicians, urgent physicians, practice nurses, advanced nurses).
Results:
The results of this activity will be a group of advanced trainers and they will be qualified to perform education for basic trainers . Advanced trainers will be able to consistently perform at a high level in all domains of simulation education. Advanced trainers are the trainers that are intended to teach the basic trainers with simulations . The following results of this activity will be a group of basic trainers, and they will be qualified to perform primary care education with simulations for primary health care teams. Basic trainers are the trainers that are intended to teach the primary care health teams with simulations . Additional results are a competency-based profile of basic and advanced trainers of education with simulations in primary care, educational program with simulations in primary care at the basic and advanced level, and evaluation of the educational programs.
Conclusion(s):
Planed education will improve patient safety in certain life-threatening situation and establish a competency-based, sustainable system of simulation-based vocational training in primary health care in three countries; Slovenia, Croatia and N. Macedonia.
Points for discussion:
Simulations as educational method at primary care
