Simulation is the only way that Fire Fighters, HazMat Specialists, and other EMS personnel can train for dangerous hazardous materials environments, such as radioactive spills, chemical leaks, or poisonous gas. HazSim provides products and services to maximize the realism of that life saving Hazardous training. The company was created by Firefighters and Hazardous Materials Specialists [...]
In October 14th, healthcare simulation specialists from around the world met at Columbia Nursing’s first annual Innovations in Simulation Summit to exchange and discuss best practices in the field of clinical simulation education, examining its future, its research trends, and how it is and could be used to improve patient safety. Participants gathered from around [...]
In IT there are only a few computer operating systems in use by the general public such as Windows, iOS, Linux and Android as examples. Such a limited playing field helps the industry by simplifying the hardware and software systems needed to effectively develop and utilize computer technologies. As the industry of healthcare simulation is [...]
The Level 3 Healthcare team recently shared some more helpful resources for Simulation Champions everywhere with the reminder about next week’s EMS webinar, 2019 Simulation “Bootcamp” event, and latest articles from their growing team of experts! Their most recent resources include discussing simulated emergency environments to planning medical simulation facilities, considerations on when to upgrade [...]
Every so often we take a look at how Simulation is being used in other industries as a way to compare progress, gain ideas, and consider opportunities. Today we’re taking a look at how the most expensive racing car teams in the world utilize high-end simulators to reduce costs, improve performance and trial innovations with [...]
Medical Simulation is a learning technique and not just a technology. Understanding some of the learning theories behind healthcare simulation may help team members with limited experience in education understand the reason for the success of sim as a teaching methodology. Clinical simulation is based on the adult learning theory, aka Andragogy Theory, but also [...]
