Guiding Principles

The following guiding principles (in no particular order) are key design criteria that should be used to inform the design, operations, and leadership of the Community Healthcare Simulation Center. The 9 guiding principles have been identified, prioritized, and contextualized through the experiences, hopes, values, and concerns of those potentially most impacted by the Center. While each principle was identified for its unique importance, the principles overlap and should be received and implemented as a collective.

1. Diversity & Inclusion: Create structures for improved recruitment of healthcare providers of color and safe learning spaces to advance cultural humility in the profession and at the bedside.

2. Simulation for Under-represented Patient Populations: Become a regional and national leader in creating simulations for under-represented patient populations such as LGBTQ+, Autism, and Disabled.

3. Innovation Hub: Develop, test, and spread cutting-edge simulation technologies and practices.

4. Community Informed: Create on-going opportunities for community to collaborate in the design and practice of the center will ensure that persistent and emergent challenges are appropriately prioritized.

5. Autonomy & Purpose: Establish opportunities that promote employee wellbeing and offer regular opportunities for individual growth and team collaboration.

6. Mental Health Focus: Respond to the growing mental health strain of both providers and patients.

7. Highly Trained & Supported Instructors: Recruit and develop a diverse and well-trained bench of simulation instructors.

8. Proactive Recruitment: Broaden healthcare workforce recruitment opportunities through proactive and hands-on exposure to simulation.

9. Broaden Opportunities: Increase opportunities for simulation across the region, including at smaller health systems.
