Authors' recommendations:
One economic evaluation was identified regarding the comparative cost-effectiveness of high-fidelity versus medium-fidelity simulation training for health care professionals. The results of this evaluation demonstrated that, in order to achieve the same outcomes in skills achievements and levels of student satisfaction, the cost of high-fidelity simulation was approximately five times higher per student than that of medium-fidelity simulation. The authors concluded that the use of medium-fidelity patient simulation manikins was more cost-effective than high-fidelity manikins.
