Overview: This course is designed for providers who are interested in developing pediatric trauma simulations for prehospital providers. We will explore how to create and implement successful pediatric trauma simulation scenarios. This will include developing a needs assessment, creating instructor-centered and learner-centered objectives, use of a scenario design template and debriefing tips. Participants will have the opportunity to practice these skills during this session.

Interested participants will also be given the opportunity to join the Pediatric Trauma Simulations for Prehospital Providers session as co-faculty. This will allow for guided co-facilitation and co-debriefing with simulation experts.

Objectives:

• Evaluate the educational needs of prehospital providers through a structured needs assessment
• Identify instructor-centered and learner-centered objectives that match the identified needs assessment
• Develop a simulation scenario using a scenario design template

Overview: This immersive, simulation-based session is designed for EMS providers who would like more experience in managing pediatric trauma scenarios. We will provide hands on training in critical pediatric trauma assessment and procedure skills. Using high-fidelity simulation, this course will also focus on the crisis resource management skills needed to successfully manage a critically ill pediatric trauma patient.

Objectives:

• Discuss the initial and ongoing assessment of a pediatric trauma patient including system specific interventions
• Identify indicators of illness and injury in the pediatric trauma patient
• Discuss priorities of care for the pediatric trauma patient

• Discuss ideas for how to successfully perform trauma outreach and measuring outcomes from that outreach.
• At the end of the session the participant will be able to list 2 trauma program benefits related to adopting a blameless culture.
• Describe how 2 different trauma registries can be used to assist you in closing your PI issues.
• Illustrate how to build a successful internal education program for your nursing staff.

• To present current and proposed multicenter studies by PTS members, focusing on what works and what doesn't.

Overview: Participants will experience three different types of simulation modalities that may be used for disaster triage education: tabletop simulation, video game-based simulation and live simulation. We will discuss nuances of each modality as well as real-life applications to disaster triage education and other educational endeavors. Participants will be able to implement, utilize and teach the tools learned in this workshop in their own institutions.

Objectives:

• Participants will review and evaluate pediatric disaster triage algorithms and disaster training principles.
• Participants will compare and contrast various simulation modalities that may be used in disaster education.
• Participants will identify specific education gaps that simulation could address in disaster triage training.

• Provide an overview of GRADE methodology
• Discuss the use of GRADE in EAST PMG's
• Provide an overview of how to get started and the process of writing a PMG
• Discuss practical applications of EAST PMG's in Practice

• To provider the attendee with a more in depth exploration of the GRADE guideline development process on a practical level.
• The attendee interested in joining or leading panels should form concrete ideas of the time frame to produce a guideline, personnel involved and resources required.
• The attendee should be able to plan an approach to societies and specialists that may have an interest in their PICO question.

• To understand the value of Pediatric TQIP for trauma centers
• To describe the limitations of Pediatric TQIP and ways to address them
• To present examples of strategies for implementing PI based on Pediatric TQIP data

• To identify potential sources of funding for trauma research
• To select appropriate designs for trauma research
• To describe available data sources to conduct trauma research

• The learner will understand the steps of an ACS consultation and verification visit
• The learner will review the changes in the verification requirements that are coming from the American College of Surgeons
• The learner will learn how to optimize the presentation of their review material to get the most out of the site visit.
