| Simulation-Based Training to Improve Health Care Team Skills and Reduce Medical Errors |
| Tuesday, August 14, 2007 |
| 9:30 AM–10:50 AM |
| L4 Room 1 |
| Area: CBM; Domain: Applied Behavior Analysis |
| Chair: R. Wayne Fuqua (Western Michigan University) |
| CE Instructor: R. Wayne Fuqua, Ph.D. |
| Abstract: This symposium describes the use of simulation-based assessment and training to improve the performance of high-risk, low frequency skills that must be performed with high fidelity on every response opportunity. Topics covered include: the characteristics of simulations, the advantages and disadvantages of simulation-based assessment and training, the contributions of behavior analysis concepts to the design of effective simulation-based assessment and training, the identification and training of team skills, and the application of in-situ simulations to assess and improve team skills in critical health care environments. |

| Simulation-Based Assessment and Training: An Overview. |
| KRYSTYNA A. ORIZONDO-KOROTKO (Western Michigan University), R. Wayne Fuqua (Western Michigan University) |
| Abstract: This presentation describes the defining features of simulation-based assessment and gives examples of the use of simulations in behavior analysis and in related disciplines. The advantages and limitations of simulation-based assessment and training are discussed. |

| Behavior Analytic Concepts in the Design of Simulation-Based Assessment and Training. |
| AMY GROSS (Western Michigan University), R. Wayne Fuqua (Western Michigan University) |
| Abstract: This presentation describes the contribution of behavior analysis concepts to the design and implementation of simulation based assessment and training. Concepts to be considered in designing simulations include: response topography, temporal dimensions of responding, discriminative stimuli, setting events, motivative variables, response consequences, and concurrent behaviors. |
