Sections

A scenario is made of sections. Each section is a structured form for one part of the case, such as the patient’s history or how the case progresses. Add sections with Add Section in the editor. Each type can be used once per scenario.

Section types

The Add Section menu groups sections into categories.

Planning

Section	Contains
Prebrief Plan	The pre-simulation briefing plan and overview.
Basic Assumption	The shared assumption about participants that’s set during the prebrief.
Goals and Objectives	Needs assessment, goal, learning objectives, and interprofessional objectives.
Participants and Learners	Target learner groups, levels, and interprofessional disciplines.
Equipment, Setup & Fidelity Requirements	Staffing, environment, monitors, fidelity, simulators, additional equipment, and consumables.
Simulated Patients and Embedded Participants	One entry per scripted role: participant type, character, script, cues, and costume.

Case Setup

Section	Contains
Scenario Setting	Location, how the scenario starts, and the scenario stem.
Patient Information	Demographics, allergies, history, medications, hidden history, and physical exam findings.

Clinical Charts

Add whichever chart matches the care setting:

Section	Contains
Emergency Department Chart	Triage note, chief concern, initial assessment, orders, and disposition.
Inpatient Chart	Admission reason, unit or service, current status, problems, orders, and care plan.
Clinic/Office Chart	Visit reason, appointment context, history, exam, assessment, and follow-up.

Scenario Flow

Section	Contains
Scenario Progression	One entry per state of the case: duration, vital signs, presentation, expected learner actions, and facilitator cues.

Diagnostics

Section	Contains
Lab Results	Lab values with reference ranges from your organization’s lab test catalog.
Diagnostics & Imaging	ECGs, X-rays, CT, ultrasound, and other images revealed during the case.

Facilitation & Debrief

Section	Contains
Facilitator Guide / Debriefing Notes	Facilitator guidance, discussion prompts, and debriefing notes.

Repeating entries

Scenario Progression and Simulated Patients and Embedded Participants hold a list of entries. Use the add button at the end of the section (for example, Add Progression State) to add another, and the remove button on an entry to delete it.

Hiding fields

Some sections list their optional fields as toggles above the form. Select a field’s name to hide it, and select it again to show it. Hidden fields are left out of the preview and the PDF, but their content is kept.

Lab results and diagnostics

Open the Diagnostics panel to work with these two sections.

Lab values: search for a test, or add a whole group of tests at once, then enter each value. Reference ranges come from your organization’s lab test catalog. People who can manage the library can edit the catalog with Manage lab tests: add tests with their unit and normal range, and organize them into groups.

Diagnostic images: drop images or PDFs onto the panel, upload them, or choose existing ones from the library (see allowed types and sizes). They appear in the case where the Diagnostics & Imaging section is shown.

Section order in the preview

The editor keeps sections in the order you arrange them. The preview and PDF present them in a consistent reading order by category, so a case reads the same way no matter the order its sections were added.
