Abstract

Simulation is an educational approach well suited to development of knowledge and decision-making skills for emergent or infrequent scenarios. Electronic Health Record (EHR) based simulation, in which participants retrieve information from a simulated EHR, provides an authentic training environment with fidelity to the typical clinical decision-making process and has been associated with enduring changes in EHR use patterns. However, we do not know whether these behavior changes reflect better decision-making. We aimed to develop a measure of pediatric resident performance in an EHR based simulation using the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (SAGAT).
