Clinical Trial Simulations: Applications and Trends (AAPS Advances in the Pharmaceutical Sciences Series)

Clinical Trial Simulations: Applications and Trends (AAPS Advances in the Pharmaceutical Sciences Series) Review

This edition includes both updates and new uses and issues concerning CTS, along with case studies of how clinical trial simulations are being applied in various therapeutic and application areas. Importantly, the book expands on the utility of CTS for informing decisions during drug development and regulatory review. Each chapter author was selected on the basis of demonstrated expertise in state-of-the-art application of CTS. The target audience for this volume includes researchers and scientists who wish to consider use of simulations in the design, analysis, or regulatory review and guidance of clinical trials. This book does not embrace all aspects of trial design, nor is it intended as a complete recipe for using computers to design trials. Rather, it is an information source that enables the reader to gain understanding of essential background and knowledge for practical applications of simulation for clinical trial design and analysis. It is assumed that the reader has a working understanding of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, modeling, pharmacometric analyses, and/or the drug development and regulatory processes.

Clinical Simulation

Clinical Simulation Review

Simulation facilities are invaluable for training in medicine and clinical education, biomedical engineering and life sciences. They allow the practice of prevention, containment, treatment, and procedure in a risk-free setting.

This book is a practical guide and reference to the latest technology, operations and opportunities presented by clinical simulation. It shows how to develop and make efficient use of resources, and provides hands-on information to those tasked with setting up and delivering simulation facilities for medical, clinical and related purposes, and the development and delivery of simulation-based education programs.

. A step-by-step manual to developing successful simulation programs
. Shows how to design, construct, outfit and run simulation facilities for clinical education and research.
. The Residency Review Committee of the US Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education has begun requiring residency programs to have simulation as an integral part of their training programs.

Clinical Simulations for Nursing Education: Learner Volume

Clinical Simulations for Nursing Education: Learner Volume Review

Build clinical confidence! Help your students develop the critical assessment, clinical reasoning, and nursing care skills they need to deliver and practice safe and effective patient care. 51 structured simulation scenarios, designed to be used in conjunction with the Instructor Volume, let them apply the nursing process in a controlled, risk-free environment. Each realistic, patient-care simulation focuses on a defined clinical domain, critical knowledge and skills, levels of competency, evidenced-based practice guidelines, National Patient Safety Goals, and research-based design characteristics. Students can record their reflections at the end of each simulation to enhance self-awareness and develop insights into the patient care delivery process.
