The Healthcare Simulationist Code of Ethics has been formulated by a global Code of Ethics working group to support the quality and ethical practice of healthcare simulation around the world.
Values | There are six aspirational values that are described in the Code of Ethics.
1Integrity
Healthcare simulationists must maintain the highest standards of honesty, truthfulness, fairness, and judgment in all their duties. They should respect ethical environments, disclose limitations of simulation activities, and honor privacy rights.
2Transparency
Professionals should conduct all simulation activities with clarity in design, communication, and decision-making processes. This includes adhering to accepted standards, disclosing conflicts of interest, and being explicit about the nature and purpose of simulation activities.
3Mutual Respect
Simulationists must respect the rights, dignity, and worth of all individuals involved. This involves practicing empathy and compassion, honoring diversity, fostering inclusion, and maximizing safety while minimizing risks.
4Professionalism
While not explicitly defined in the provided search results, professionalism likely involves maintaining high standards of conduct, expertise, and competence in the field of healthcare simulation.
5Accountability
Although not directly described in the search results, accountability presumably relates to taking responsibility for one's actions and decisions in simulation activities.
6Results Orientation
This value is not explicitly defined in the provided information, but it likely emphasizes the importance of focusing on outcomes and achieving meaningful results in healthcare simulation practices.
