Debriefing Rooms

The center has two debriefing rooms for post-education meetings and conferences. These high-tech meeting rooms feature widescreen televisions and fully networked video playback systems to allow for a full discussion of the simulation and additional teaching to review what happened in the simulation. Trainers and observers can even watch the simulation unfold on the television through the closed-circuit video system.

Simulators

Life-like manikins add to the experience of the simulation. Healthcare providers are able to train in a safe and realistic environment before seeing the same complication or emergency in our hospital. Our manikins have many functions that help engage learners such as heart sounds, lung sounds, and pulses.  Learners can also perform procedures such as catheter placement and IV access.

• SimMan3G© is an adult manikin.
• SimMom© is a maternity birthing manikin.
• SimJunior© is a child about 4-6 years old.
• SimNewB© is a newborn baby.
• ResusciAnne© allows learners to practice the proper mechanics of CPR. This manikin measures the rate and depth of compression which is helpful feedback to improve performance.

Task trainers

Clinicians refine their technical skills through task trainers.  Just like going to the batting cages in baseball, task trainers allow for clinicians to practice proper mechanics of a skill and build muscle memory with coaching and corrective feedback.

• Airway trainers
• Paracentesis
• Intraosseous access
• Intravenous access
• Arterial blood sampling
• Lumbar puncture
• Urinary Catheter placement
• Automatic External Defibrillator trainer

Working with industry

Simulation can also be a valuable tool for industry, especially sales staff and product developers. We work with medical device and pharmaceutical companies to set up simulated environments for testing of new technologies from the genesis of product development to implementation.

Prototype testing

The information gathered and lessons learned from testing various clinical situations can provide valuable insight on product performance.  We’ll develop simulations that mimic a real-life example that your product can be interfaced with.  You and your team can observe your device and make any necessary changes from the data that you gather in our simulation rooms.

Clinician training

When your product is ready for launch, you can use our simulation rooms to properly train the clinical staff to ensure proper use of the device. To ensure the clinical staff will be using the device correctly, we offer our simulation rooms to mimic the actual clinical setting where you can instruct and provide feedback for the clinicians to become as ready as possible.
