User Roles

Admin

Users with Administrator role have access to everything within the system with no restriction whatsoever.

 Simulated Patient

The Simulated Patient role is essentially for administrative and identification purposes: it is not assigned to actual users as the user would not have access to the system. It serves as a means of distinguishing simulated patients (as opposed to manikins) who can in turn be linked to video recordings.

Learner

Learners have access to learner data entry, that is, Pre-Simulation, Post-Simulation and Evaluation checklists (whichever is created in the SCE), and have access to video recordings of events they participated in (that is, are members of the assigned learner group). They can also be given access to their reports (i.e. evaluation and scoring of their performance in a simulated experience).

Faculty

Users with Faculty role have access to fill out the Simulation part of a scheduled SCE to which they have been assigned to (via event scheduling in Calendar). Data entry is possible during the simulation event, while watching the video feed displayed above the checklist. Only those events are available to the user which they have been assigned as members of the Faculty group. 

Suggested role for: members of the institution who are responsible for making judgments about the professional advancement, competence and performance of the trainees/ learners of the institution.

Simulation Designer

User with this role have access to the functions in the SCE Management module: creating and editing simulated clinical experiences, including the SCE Design (content) and SCE Scheduling (guide for timing of different phases and actions). They can also copy and export already created SCEs, or arrange them into Learning Modules.

Suggested role for: members of the institution who possess the necessary professional (i.e. medical) competence to manage a case content (including patient history, physiological data, training objectives etc.), determine what knowledge and performance can be expected from the learners (content of checklists), and outline how a simulation experience should be completed (different stages of simulation, relevant information to be provided for the participants).

Scheduler

The Scheduler role grants access to the functions of the Calendar module: scheduling new or editing already created events, including selecting the SCE to be used, assigning participant groups, and adjusting - if necessary - the SCE Scheduling. The role also provides access to print or email calendar views.

Suggested role for: users of the system who are involved in administration, organization and syllabus management. 

Operations Specialist 

Users with this role have access to live videos in the Recording module, including the Annotation panel. That is, they can start and stop recordings (adjust camera views), add participant groups to the recordings, and create, edit or delete annotations.

Suggested role for: members of the institution who are knowledgeable in video recording as well as in the actions of a simulation, that is, they are aware of what should be in focus during recording.

Educator  

Users with Educator role have the access-level closest to that of the Admins: their role combines that of a Scheduler, an Operations Specialist and Faculty, and have additional control over the Reports module. Consequently, they are authorized to do the following:

• schedule and manage events in the Calendar module;
• operate within the Recording module: start and stop recording, manage intercom announcements, assign participant groups to a recording, add annotations and fill out the Simulation checklist of the SCE;
• submit Open Ended Question Scoring (OEQS), that is, grade learners' responses for questions requiring textual answers;
• use all the functions of the Video Review module: review recordings, download videos, print Video Reports, upload simulation data logs, add annotations to video recordings;
• manage the Reports module: access all the reports in the system, create and save reports for specific events or activities.
