  • Bc Simulation Current State Report
    Provincial Simulation Coordination Committee Current State Report BC SIMULATION CURRENT STATE REPORT Prepared by: BC Provincial Simulation Coordination Committee Delivered to: BC Ministry of Advanced Education, Innovation, and Technology BC Ministry of Health November 29, 2013 November 19, 2013 Page 0 of 35 Provincial Simulation Coordination Committee Current State Report 1 Executive Summary The Provincial Simulation Coordination Committee (PSCC) was established in June 2012 and functions as a central coordinating and advisory organization. The PSCC’s goal is to support health authorities and health professional education institutions province wide to advance the efficient development of simulation education through an integrated approach that improves access to simulation facilities, technologies, and resources. In early 2013, the PSCC received funding to develop a Simulation Roadmap for BC. The first deliverable in this roadmap is a Current State Report that aims to enable the BC Government to make effective, contextual decisions on where to allocate taxpayer funds based on an improved understanding of the current simulation environment. A PSCC Sub-Committee was established to lead the development of the Current State Report and included representatives from UBC, BCIT, and Northern Health Authority. The Sub-Committee developed a list of online survey questions for stakeholders identified by the PSCC across the Province according to regional, professional, and institutional affiliation. Approximately 80 individuals were invited to complete the survey on May 27, 2013 and 56 completed responses were received by the survey close on July 5, 2013 for a 70% completion rate. Key findings from the survey were grouped into three categories: 1. Equipment and Technology 2.
