Since 2020, many healthcare simulation centers have become familiar with the term “distance simulation.” The ability to provide distance simulation instruction is one factor that separated those healthcare simulation centers that were able to continue instruction during COVID-19 from those that were not. As a result of increased reliance on distance simulation, healthcare simulation leaders [...]

“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.

Healthcare simulation allows learners to build upon their education and actively work to solve problems by navigating through clinical simulation scenarios. Ultimately, healthcare simulation benefits learners by better preparing them for what they may someday encounter in the field. One such encounter that clinical simulation can help prepare learners for is workplace violence. This HealthySimulation.com [...]

When a high-fidelity obstetric simulator is available, the simulated postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) can be rather dramatic and provides nursing staff members with a chance to experience the reality of massive fluid loss in a safe environment. However, birthing simulators can cost upwards of $100,000, and sometimes educators just need to put together a quick in-situ [...]
