Value-based Simulation (VBS) has an Affinity Group (AG) in the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) and we had 2 successful presentations at #IMSH2026. Our next VBS AG mtg is on 2/19 @ 1200 EST.
Healthcare Simulation Value: just an equation, right? There are 6 data types to collect as published by Barker et al in Advances in Simulation (free access, just search). Lots of work to do, just keep learning and you'll be able to show your simulation program's value to leaders.
What is Value-based Simulation in Healthcare? We got the first publication done, more to come! link.springer.com/article/10…
We submitted Value-based Simulation in Healthcare (VBSH) presentations to IMSH 2025 in Orlando, we will see what happens. We also submitted a VBSH manuscript to the Simulation in Healthcare journal. Fingers crossed...
Our next Society for Simulation in Healthcare Value-based Simulation Affinity Group meeting is June 21st at 1700 EST. Get the link by joining the SSH VBS AG. ssih.org/Membership-Engageme…
What does value-based simulation look like? It is going to take some work to define, but will help your program have measurable and sustainable success. See this article by Cook et al:

One way to show value: Does your simulation program help your healthcare system evaluate Latent Safety Threats (LST's)? It can, and it should.
