July 9th – Virtual and Mixed Reality: A NEW Innovative Way to Train in Medical Simulation (Devin Marble, BS, NRP) : This webinar will showcase innovative NEW technologies which seamlessly blend the real world with full-color passthrough Virtual Reality (VR) headsets, like those from HTC Vive, providing clinical instructors a level of high-fidelity virtual patient simulation experiences in existing clinical spaces like they have never seen before. These new XR technologies mix your reality in a whole new way, allowing educators to blend traditional physical sim labs into immersive experiences. Task trainers, standardized patients, and peripheral equipment can be used effectively with mixed reality simulation breathing new life into your expensive simulation space. Simulation programs that are researching VR headsets but are concerned about the value of their existing sim equipment, will realize ways to leverage those technologies in innovative new ways.
July 11th – (CE) Transformative Healthcare Simulation: 7 Layers of Change (Sharon Weldon, PhD, MSc, BSc (Hons), RGN) : This webinar will showcase innovative NEW technologies which seamlessly blend the real world with full-color passthrough Virtual Reality (VR) headsets, like those from HTC Vive, providing clinical instructors a level of high-fidelity virtual patient simulation experiences in existing clinical spaces like they have never seen before. These new XR technologies mix your reality in a whole new way, allowing educators to blend traditional physical sim labs into immersive experiences. Task trainers, standardized patients, and peripheral equipment can be used effectively with mixed reality simulation breathing new life into your expensive simulation space. Simulation programs that are researching VR headsets but are concerned about the value of their existing sim equipment, will realize ways to leverage those technologies in innovative new ways.
July 17th – (CE) Hospital at Home: Development of New Care Model for Medical Simulation (Cheng-Kai Kao, MD) : The interdisciplinary panel of speakers will discuss their experience of using system-focused simulation to test the quality and safety of a new and complex clinical care model, Hospital at Home, in the pre-implementation phase. Hospital at Home is an innovative care model providing hospital-level care in the patient’s home, which allows eligible patients to receive acute care and recover in the comfort of their homes. It entails many of the same care processes occurring in the brick and mortal hospital, including clinician visits, vital signs, lab and diagnostic studies, medications, auxiliary therapies, and meals. In essence, this entailed developing a new hospital system outside the hospital, inclusive of the workflows, communication patterns, information technology infrastructure and care processes. A large interdisciplinary effort was undertaken to delineate the processes and best workflows from entry into the program through discharge. Kaizen events, steering committee meetings, and patient-centered focus groups drove the creation of the standard work.

July 23rd – (Trisha Coady, BSN, RN, CPM) : In today’s nursing landscape, there exists a pressing need to refocus attention on the critical aspect of clinical judgment. This presentation dives into the essence of clinical judgment in nursing, emphasizing its pivotal role and relevance and how many of today’s current assessments fail to properly evaluate this crucial part of competency development. Furthermore, the webinar presenters will explore the profound impact of objective and validated assessments, drawing on decades of data collection to highlight their transformative effects. Additionally, the discussion extends to HealthStream’s Jane AI as a cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) tool, showcasing its efficacy in identifying competency gaps and personalizing developed plans at scale. Join us as we unravel the intricate dynamics shaping modern nursing practices.
July 18th – How to Fill Simulation Center Technology Gaps with SimVS (Greg Vis,BSc, EMT-P, CHSE : This webinar will help attendees discover an innovative new way to evaluate sim center logistics and functionality to achieve higher performance at a reasonable cost using SimVS. The presenter will examine the use case of affordable SimVS technologies across a multitude of simulation center shapes and sizes, and showcase ways to augment and compliment existing technologies with new capabilities following gap analysis and objective performance considerations. The presenter will examine ways to blend mixed technologies to create a truly effective immersive experience for clinical learners while maximizing resource allocation. SimVS provides a wide variety of simulated medical device monitors for assessment, treatment and communication, which can be either the core solution or just to fill-in functional gaps. After evaluating their own centers with this methodology instructors will realize new possibilities for increased outcomes and sim lab performance.
July 31st – What I Wish My Faculty Knew: Learner Perspectives on Clinical Simulation (Efrem Violato, PhD): While clinical faculty may have a strong connection with their clinical students and a valid perception of the learner experience of clinical simulation, the professional roles of educators and researchers inherently limit what students share. This resistance to providing honest learner feedback temporally and spatially limits the faculty’s understanding of students’ experiences to the educational or research setting. This CE presentation aims to better inform medical simulation educators and researchers about student engagement and how to construct better learning experiences and support students in simulated training. Students of varying experience levels will present their perspectives and experiences with healthcare simulation and how to support their learning in healthcare simulation to better become “practice-ready”.
