]]> Comment on Simulation Education and Assessment by Stephen http://simdoc.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/assessment-simulation-education/#comment-59 Stephen Wed, 09 Apr 2008 03:30:17 +0000 http://simdoc.wordpress.com/?p=32#comment-59 I agree, I strongly believe simulation for healthcare education is only effective if used in a realistic environment with state of the art equipment to ensure “buy-in” from all participants. It is also necessary to utilize educated and skilled faculty that know how to operate the highly technical equipment involved. I have noticed that it is very difficult for Healthcare providers to utilize simulation due to lack of finances, lack of physical space, and lack of technical expertise. I have come across a very interesting concept- a mobile simulation laboratory that is mobile and can be physically brought to a healthcare provider’s facility. There is one company called SIAMEC which I have noticed has a state of the art mobile simulation laboratory, they appear to be state of the art and extremely knowledgeable. They even work with you to set up an appropriate curriculum. I believe using the technology provided by a company like SIAMEC will help improve healthcare for patients nationwide through simulation education.

Unfortunately nobody in the OR was traineed in surgical fire prevention or supression. I created a website www.surgicalFire.Org in the hopes residences, doctors, nurses, and hospital facilities can learn from our personal story, and other stories on my site. This was a tragedy for everyone involved not only my family. A resident was placing a Trach in my mother’s neck, and she was set on fire.
