2018 Call for Late Breaking Posters

IPSSW2018 Late Breaking Submission

General Information:
The Scientific Committee for IPSSW2018 “P3 = Preparation, Practise and Performance” invites the submission of original scholarly work for consideration to be presented May 14-16, 2018 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The deadline for submission is 30 April 2018.

The committee is seeking material that demonstrates innovative uses of simulation in research, education and safety. This may include, but is not limited to, skills training, team training, systems integration, and system and facility design. Additionally, presentation of novel uses of standardized patients/actors, mannequins, task trainers, virtual reality, 3D printing and computer-based simulations are encouraged. All healthcare disciplines are strongly encouraged to submit proposals. All submissions will be peer-reviewed as part of the selection process. Completed projects, as well as works in progress will be considered. Abstracts previously presented at regional, national or international meetings will also be considered as encore presentations.

The Abstract Committee will allocate up 24 accepted abstracts to our Late Breaking Posters category.

Language: English

Abstract Review:
Accepted abstracts will yield important information that will benefit patient care and demonstrate the value and utility of pediatric simulation in healthcare education, credentialing, research, patient safety, and simulation center design and operations. The International Pediatric Simulation Society (IPSS) will make the accepted abstracts available in electronic format prior to the conference. Abstracts may be published online as submitted by the Abstract committee.

Question Title

* 6. Abstract Submission Categories: Abstracts should be submitted in one of three categories as detailed below.

Research - The focus of submissions in this category is to disseminate new knowledge or understanding regarding simulation in pediatric healthcare. Highly successful submissions in this category will address a specific research question, describe a design and methodology appropriate to the question, and demonstrate rigorous data collection, management, and analysis, while clearly and concisely presenting the results and implications of the study. Submission of abstracts describing both quantitative and qualitative research is encouraged. Accepted submissions from this category will be invited for presentation at IPSSW2018 as either oral or poster presentations, alongside other research submissions on related themes. Those submitting may look to “Reporting Guidelines for Healthcare Simulation Research” for guidance on best-practices (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27465839)

Innovation - The focus of submissions in this category is innovation and best practices in simulation education, systems integration, patient safety and technology advances. This category does not address a specific research question or test a hypothesis but may involve innovation in design and engineering of simulation technologies and systems, along with concepts related to pediatric simulation programs and/or simulation education practice. Submissions for technology innovation abstracts should describe the problem, limitation or need as related to a simulation technology or system and how the work resolved the problem. Education abstracts should describe best practices in simulation programs and/or education that will be useful for other practitioners. Accepted submissions from this category will be invited for presentation at IPSSW2018 as either oral or poster presentations, alongside other education and technology innovation submissions on related themes.

Ideas and Works in Progress - The focus of submissions in this category is the presentation of new and innovative ideas or works in progress in pediatric healthcare simulation, which would benefit from in-depth discussion among peers and experts. Authors are encouraged to present new concepts, discuss unanswered questions, and highlight difficulties in carrying out simulation research and education. Abstracts addressing both research and education/technology innovation will be considered. Accepted submissions to this category will be presented in round table sessions involving 3-4 presenters, followed by an expert-facilitated discussion, or as poster presentations. The submitted proposals do not have to be finalized at the time of submission.
