The Leapfrog Group, a non-profit organization which focuses on patient safety through Hospital Safety Grades and a plethora of online resources and annual events, is celebrating its 20 year anniversary. As strong believers of the direct connection between healthcare simulation activities and patient safety outcomes, and as media partners with the Patient Safety Movement Foundation [...]
Dr. Justin Sutherland PhD, co-founder / CEO at Realize Medical and clinical medical physicist at the Ottawa Hospital, has contributed today’s article demonstrating one powerful new learning tool now available within healthcare simulation. He shares how several simulation centers are already using Realize Medical’s Elucis platform to create and interact with medical models directly in [...]
Over a dozen of some of the world’s leading clinical simulation experts have already submitted healthcare simulation presentations to HealthySimulation.com’s new webinar platform, currently in beta development. From the neuroscience of virtual reality in medical training, to expanding regional simulation programs, to in-situ simulation debriefing practices, scenario design and the latest telemedicine practices, all of [...]
As COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, healthcare educators are starting to overcome clinical rotation constraints by providing enhanced learning experiences with virtual patients. The good news is that over the past few years virtual patient simulation has already been introduced to educational institutions globally, and in some cases has already become demonstrated as [...]
Dr. Paul E. Phrampus, FACEP, FSSH, is the Director of UPMC’s Peter M. Winter Institute for Simulation, Education and Research (WISER Center), as well as a Professor in the Departments of Emergency Medicine and Anesthesiology of the University Of Pittsburgh School Of Medicine and Medical Director for Patient Safety at UPMC. Sharing his passion for [...]
The Association of Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE) is a global organization focused on human simulation via Standardized Patients, aka Simulated Patients. The organization serves as a virtual community for connection to the field of medical simulation. Next week is their annual conference event which has “gone virtual” due to COVID19, so here today we are showcasing some [...]
