Transfer of Clinical Decision-Making–Related Learning Outcomes Following Simulation-Based Education in Nursing and Medicine: A Scoping Review

Conclusions Research on simulation-based education has focused disproportionately on the transfer of learning from one simulation to another, and little evidence exists regarding transfer to clinical practice. The heterogeneity in conditions of transfer observed represents a substantial challenge in evaluating the effect of simulation-based education. The findings suggest that 3 dimensions of clinical decision-making performance are amenable to assessment—execution, accuracy, and speed—and that simulation-based learning related to clinical decision-making is predominantly understood as a gain in generalizable skills that can be easily applied from one context to another.
