Simulation-based assessment of critical care "front-line" providers.
The researchers developed a standardized simulation method to assess clinical skills of ICU providers. Their simulation assessments yielded reasonably reliable measures of Critical Care Medicine decision-making skills. Despite a wide range of performance, those with more ICU training and experience performed better, providing evidence to support the validity of the scores.

Developing an objective assessment of surgical performance from operating room video and surgical imagery.

An unbiased, repeatable process for assessing operating room performance is an important step toward quantifying the relationship between surgical training and performance. This study analyzed the following performance measures: duration of wire navigation, number of fluoroscopic images collected, degree of intervention by the surgeon's supervisor, and the tip-apex distance (TAD). The study results indicated that two metrics of hip fracture wire navigation performance, duration and TAD, significantly differentiated surgical experience.
