All virtual simulations and clinicals are designed by Sentinel U’s Nursing faculty to help ensure that users can confidently and seamlessly map directly to AACN essentials, QSEN competencies, and NCLEX categories. According to Sentinel U, learners benefit from robust learning experiences that independent research has shown to be effective and to achieve required competencies. The goals of Sentinel U’s digital solutions are to sharpen clinical reasoning, decision-making skills, and critical thinking competency while facing realistic patient encounters. They can also be used to practice community health and population health in a risk-free environment, and engage in realistic patient encounters across healthcare simulation settings.
Echo Healthcare Demonstrates World’s First Technical Support App for Healthcare Simulation: In this video, HealthySimulation.com interviews the team from Echo Healthcare about their new Master Level Service Agreement (MeLiSA) clinical simulation technical support services app at IMSH 2022. Founder and CEO, Kevin King, explains that the idea for this product came from an epiphany he had a few years ago. He sought to answer a specific need, being the ability to reach out to someone from anywhere and at any time for simulator technology (specifically manikins) services and support. He adds that, during IMSH, the company announced the launch of the industry’s first service and support mobile application: the Master Level Service Agreement (MeLiSA) app. The goal of this app is to provide users with immediate access to the revolutionary MeLiSA program.
Echo Healthcare is a dynamic medical simulation company focused on improving patient safety through the use of advanced simulation technology. With over 20 years of industry experience, the company is committed to redefining innovation and service by offering tailored solutions to customers. Echo Healthcare represents select, innovative products and services in the field of clinical simulation and education that bring a new level of realism to scenario-based medical education, including realistic patient manikins, patient masks, simulated patient monitors, simulated virtual environments, simulation technical support services, and more.
Echo Healthcare was founded by a group of passionate healthcare simulation experts who bring over 40 years of experience into the marketplace. Together, this team has created a “circle of innovation” by bringing diverse product lines that complement one another and can grow as your programs expand. The company believes programs should be built around a client’s needs and not restricted by the limitations of a clinical simulator. Thus, Echo Healthcare provides solutions that can be tailored to clients’ educational needs.
Health Scholars Showcases OB VR Training Tools at IMSH 2022: In this HealthySimulation.com interview, Andrew Gendron, the product marketing manager at Health Scholars, demonstrates the power of virtual reality simulation. He explains the benefit of this technology on operating rooms and. emergency care facilities. He notes how one goal of the company’s technology is to help learners develop procedural muscle memory to later successfully help a patient overcome, for example, a maternal hemmorhage.
