A common struggle encountered by undergraduate nursing education programs is how to sufficiently expose students to medication administration best practices prior to graduation given the limited opportunities to participate in the process during hospital clinical experiences. There are two major limitations encountered in regards to teaching best practices of medication administration outside of the clinical [...]
The Healthcare Trainer or Simulation Program Coordinator promotes and coordinates the simulation programs for the Jefferson Medical College, Jefferson School of Health Professions, Jefferson School of Nursing, Jefferson School of Pharmacy, GME, and TJUH educational programs. The simulation program coordinator works closely with faculty to integrate simulation into the learning strategies and assessment processes of program curricula, [...]
For medical simulation applications, the use of cloud-based computing services and applications is rapidly increasing. In fact, it’s expected that cloud data center traffic will represent a whopping 95 percent of total data center traffic by 2021! Wondering how a move to the cloud will impact your simulation center’s operations and data management? Looking for [...]
In August 2020, Kaiser Permanente is opening a new medical school in Pasadena, California via the School of Medicine (KPSOM) which will will focus on the use of Medical Simulation. The KP group has dedicated themselves to building a medical school informed by the groundbreaking technology and practices of Kaiser Permanente’s integrated healthcare system—one of [...]
Fidelity in healthcare simulation is a key factor in the creation of meaningful educational experiences. When learners pretend to wash hands or operate IV pumps during simulation scenarios, the realism of the experience is interrupted and the learner loses focus on the scenario learning objectives. This article reviews various types of infusion pumps and how [...]
As the healthcare simulation industry grows, it also gets more competitive. Medical Simulation programs are expanding, simulation technology is evolving, and anyone interested in a career in simulation needs to stay ahead of it all. To give current and future simulation technicians and operations specialists a leg up on their competition, Level 3 Healthcare recently [...]
