Healthcare simulation centers are constantly being unveiled and upgraded across the United States and globally. As technology progresses, these clinical spaces are able to help transform how medical education and training are completed and have become integral to learners’ medical education within such clinical education buildings, medical centers, or training facilities devoted to healthcare simulation. [...]
As any simulationist would proclaim, innovation is a crucial part of any healthcare simulation program. The advancement of clinical simulation through creativity occurs in many ways, from molding a new wound from silicone to making a specialized task trainer from everyday materials. In the world of medical simulation, there are plenty of resources for innovative [...]
Until recently, purchasing healthcare simulation equipment meant that clinical simulation educators were buying the simulator as is at the very moment of purchase. Any design quirks or lack of functionality would simply remain with the buyer and their simulator throughout the simulator’s lifespan. Over time the simulation educator would uncover more things they wished their [...]
“Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation: Operations, Technology, and Innovative Practice” is the leading medical simulation book for healthcare professionals starting or expanding their use of the emerging methodology to improve learning, training, and patient safety outcomes. From basic theories to advanced practices, this healthcare simulation book has been praised as a “must-read” by leading medical simulation experts [...]
Oftentimes, clinical simulation educators and others across the industry may find themselves asking how realistic should healthcare simulation-based training be. According to Alinier (2011), the aim of running medical simulation sessions is for participants to acquire experience in a safe environment. One major barrier to providing an array of high-risk or diverse healthcare simulation scenario [...]
Simulation centers often experience periods of low use while contending with variable funding, and healthcare innovators often experience challenges in gathering information about the usability of novel devices. While both scenarios are known to occur, the increased prevalence of healthcare simulation use across medical simulation centers has prompted the need to overcome such barriers. This [...]
