Healthcare Simulation requires clinical education, training, and patient safety organizations to develop new operational management strategies in-order to maximize simulation program efficiency and effectiveness, as well as to minimize staff burnout. As such, here we take a closer look at Chapter 15 “The Healthcare Simulation Technology Specialist and Management” in the Springer published book Comprehensive Healthcare [...]
As with many healthcare professions, being able to practice physical therapy cases prior to entering the field can provide valuable experience to future physical therapists. DxR Development Group’s VirtualPT Clinician software mirrors the clinical reasoning process used by physical therapists. This clinical simulation is designed to teach, and evaluate key critical-thinking skills solutions. VirtualPT Clinician [...]
This is a rare opportunity to join our talented team at the Hannaford Center for Safety, Innovation & Simulation. Maine Medical Center (MMC), the largest in the MaineHealth (MH) system, is currently undergoing a $500 million expansion. It is a unique academic teaching hospital with simulation programming for:
Residents and fellows in more than 20 programs 120 [...]General Description: Under the direction of the Simulation Lab Educator & Director of Nursing, the Nursing Simulation Technician (NST) will performs duties independently related to installation, maintenance, and operation of Simulation Manikins for simulating medical conditions and responses used in nursing courses.
The NST sets up, operates, and manipulates medical, multimedia, computer, and other related equipment [...]
Healthcare Simulation centers are being developed across the globe, with many different layouts and designs. To provide a glimpse into these clinical education spaces, a number of healthcare simulation centers have had virtual tours created. Exploring how clinical simulation centers are laid out can provide a source of inspiration while helping to identify center uses [...]
Does healthcare simulation training help to reduce malpractice rates across obstetrics and gynecology? A team of five medical professionals sought to find an answer to this question through their original research entitled “Association of Simulation Training With Rates of Medical Malpractice Claims Among Obstetrician–Gynecologists”, published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Specifically, the data [...]
