The main aim of simwars at smacc2013 is to deliver educational messages about team work through short simulated resuscitation role-plays.
- Teams will be asked to perform short prepared simulation scenarios, which demonstrate important resuscitation team skills (Technical or non-Technical). Such as “Hands-off time” during defibrillation (Technical skill) or “closed-loop” communication (Non-Technical skill).
- Teams can have 3-6 members.
- Team members can change up until the commencement of the conference
- Teams must submit an entry video of between 30-180 seconds duration, (Low fidelity). This video must demonstrate the team training in a team skill and the skill demonstrated is listed on the accompanying entry form.
- Videos submitted will be loaded onto Vimeo as part of the smacc website.
- Visitors to the smacc site will be encouraged to view the simulation videos and then vote on videos they like (audience voting).
- The videos will also be judged for the educational message they deliver by a panel of smacc2013 judges.
- The best team videos as judged by audience voting and the judging panel will enter the live play-offs at smacc2013
- The best team performances at the live playoffs will progress to the grand-final on stage live at smacc2013.
- In the grand-finals teams will need to perform a 5 minute demonstration of technical and non-technical skills (disguises permitted?)
- Final decision will be with judging panel guided by live audience participation.
- Teams will be notified at smacc2013 of the equipment provided in the play-off and finals.
