Competency evaluation

OSCE Exams

Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation for assessment, training and accreditation of the competencies linked to maps and/or programmes for different graduate, postgraduate and continuing education profiles.

These circuits and stations demonstrate the learning, management and acquisition of the previously set competency targets. This takes place in an innovative context using the most advanced simulation technology in order to precisely reproduce the day-to-day professional reality of the different professional profiles.

Circuits

Confidence-building for the incorporation of first-year residents via intensive training in basic communication and accident and emergency competencies.

Using innovative methodologies in simple and complex robotics, actor-based simulation, e-learning and peer production.

Accreditation

In the circuits for professional competency accreditation - designed by the IAVANTE Line of the Foundation for Progress and Health and the Andalusian Agency for Healthcare Quality - professionals can certify their competencies in Basic CPR, Advanced Adult CPR, Advanced Neonatal CPR and Advanced Paediatric CPR.

Professionals who want to become accredited are provided with advanced human robotic simulators (SimMan and METI), where they can carry out the same procedures as they would on a human patient. Candidates are also provided with a team of nursing professionals if the simulation is based in a real in-hospital environment.

Impact evaluation

IAVANTE reinforces the consolidation of learning through impact evaluation.

This is achieved by analysing the implementation and transfer of the trained competencies to the professional’s daily work environment when a period of time has elapsed after the training event. This evaluation affects the decision-making on future approaches in the design, planning and implementation of training programmes.

Professional performance

Evaluation of relational and attitude competencies that professionals recognise and/or require in their posts.

IAVANTE trains and provides consultancy in Performance Evaluation, both as an evaluation tool and in the handling and implementation of management teams. We provide action lines for correction and to facilitate evaluation, monitoring and professional development plans.

Consultancy

IAVANTE offers consultancy services for training in technical competencies in the health sector.

Versatility and web-based knowledge access

Located in the Health Sciences Technology Park in Granada, within a framework that provides real scenarios including universities, hospitals, corporations and technology transfer companies, IAVANTE takes full advantage of the synergies generated in this environment and applies them to the field of simulation.

Methodologies

The outstanding feature of the training provided by IAVANTE is the use of innovative methodologies such as robotic simulation, virtual simulation, actor-based simulation, video analysis, experimental surgery and e-learning.

These methodologies are used both individually and in combination, depending on the requirements of each particular competency, to provide professionals with high-fidelity situations designed to improve their technical and relational skills.

Surgical Training

This methodology trains professionals in surgical procedures in a setting that exactly replicates a real clinical environment. Surgical interventions are performed on animal models or on human anatomical parts.

Robotic Simulation

This methodology uses robots and mannequins which act and react similarly to humans in certain pathological processes. This allows participants to work in a life-like environment and perfect simple or complex skills that, because of their invasive nature, cannot be acquired through real procedures.

Virtual Simulation

This methodology uses specific synthetic-imaging software and haptics to recreate lifelike anatomical environments where students can be trained in the use of exploratory tools, acquire knowledge of specific anatomical areas and learn the diagnosis and treatment of multiple injuries.

Actor Based Simulation

Trained actors simulate situations in which interpersonal relations have considerable impact, for example, in clinical interviews.

These simulations are carried out in settings that reproduce as faithfully as possible the environments where these situations arise with the aim of immersing the student in each case.

Video Analysis

Real-time observation of the procedures and techniques performed in the training events, or their analysis by broadcasting them on the Internet, allows optimisation of the students’ learning process by observing and correcting mistakes made during the training sessions. The complex system of cameras and microphones installed in every room gives the students the opportunity to analyse their own behaviour and reactions during the debriefing sessions.

E-Learning

Most of the training events we offer include online content via internet where the student and teacher are provided with materials, forums, chats, video conferencing, etc..

About us

IAVANTE is a line of activity of the Andalusian Public Foundation for Progress and Health, which belongs to the Ministry of Health of the Regional Government of Andalusia.

IAVANTE’s mission is to facilitate and promote the comprehensive development and training of health professionals through the most innovative learning methodologies and to lead the development and innovation of new technologies applied to health.

Training

TRAINING in IAVANTE is focused on the healthcare processes which ensure care continuity and quality. Each stage of the process requires different professionals, scenarios, techniques and technologies.

The TRAINING is carried out on physical simulators and virtual reality simulators. Training takes place in an environment that faithfully replicates clinical reality and its context and recreates natural healthcare environments at different points of the care process.

Evaluation

In IAVANTE, EVALUATION is a way of sharing knowledge among institutions endorsed by the experience of our team of professionals.

To EVALUATE professional competencies we use knowledge, methodologies, technology and the realistic scenarios used in training in order to obtain professional activity outcomes via strategic indicators based on the effectiveness of the organisations.

Consultancy

CONSULTANCY in IAVANTE is an element of added value where IAVANTE’s experience and knowledge at every point of training and evaluation in technical healthcare competencies is brought to bear.

CONSULTANCY is tailored to the requirements of each client, from consultancy support for needs detection to the organisation and planning of training and evaluation activities adapted to each case.
