1. Progress Report Presentation:
Low-cost simulation in the global
health arena
Moro-Sutherland D, Grover E, JacquetG,
Langevin M, Meaney P.
International Network for Simulation-based Pediatric Innovation, Research and Education

2. • Establish a repository for the global health community working in limited-resource
settings
• Survey memberships of large medical and nursing organizations, nursing and
medical schools, medical and surgical residencies working abroad, global health
fellowships, simulation fellowships, NGOs, PEARS program coordinators with
AHA, Helping Babies Breathe program with AAP/Laerdal and ETAT/ETAT+
programs which are available through the World Health Organization.
• Information focusing on low-cost simulation projects, barriers, and needs will be
made available through an openplatform.

Aim(s) - Revised

3. • A central repository where educators,
learners and/or volunteers can go, to
become knowledgeable on low-cost
simulation programs and/or projects
InternationalNetwork forSimulation-based PediatricInnovation, Research and Education
Aim: Expected Outcome

4. • The sharing of information “lessons learned”
as well as a repository of the existing low-cost
simulation programs andprojectswill be
important for simulation training to be
sustainable.
• This will be the first step towards
communication and sharing of curriculum
across organizations and countries

Aims: Expected Benefits

5. • Low-cost simulation in the global health arena survey
– Timeline: March 2014 - September 2014
• Email: ACEP International & Pediatric Membership, IMSH
membership (March 2014)
• Survey: IPSSW, GEMA ( April –June 2014)
• Survey:Disseminated to an expansive number of organizations
to help to identify the key stakeholders involved in low-cost
simulation (May 2014-August 2014)
• STAKEHOLDERS (identified through preliminary survey) involved in
low-cost simulation in limited resource settings: question specific on
sharing of curriculum, cases and research/publications
– Timeline: August 2014 – Jan 2015 (3 cycles) with follow up emails
InternationalNetwork forSimulation-based PediatricInnovation, Research and Education
Timeline: Survey

6. • Email sent out to the following memberships in March 2014:
– IMSH
– ACEP International and Pediatric Sections
• Survey to be disseminated @ IPSSW, if ready
• Survey to be disseminated @ SAEM May 2014
– Registrants and GEMA & Simulation members
• Full scale dissemination to multiple organizations beginning in May
2014-August 2014

Progress since Jan 2014

7. 1. Funding: Grant submitted to ACEP International
Section, yet concern for ownership
2. Surveys: Reliability, access and return rate
3. Audience: Public forum/platform
Where best to place once all information is
collected?
InternationalNetwork forSimulation-based PediatricInnovation, Research and Education
Needs / Challenges

8. 1. @ IPSSW 2014: Survey dissemination, if ready
2. Feedback on survey draft before launching
3. Assistance with database if funding does not go
through
4. Mentorship/Availability if barriers are met
5. Jan 2015: Completion of dissemination of survey
and repository available on open platform
