Simulation-based training helps doctors deliver bad news more effectively to patients
News-Medical.net
We've all feared hearing a doctor say, "We need to talk."
It's even scarier if the physician is robotic, speaks in jargon or isn't clear about next steps.
Despite known protocols and recommendations on how to break bad news to patients, many physicians report insufficient training about how to conduct these challenging conversations. Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine has found a better way, according to a newly published study.

Medical City Healthcare opens new nursing education center
D Magazine
Medical City Healthcare has opened a $4.8 million patient-simulation training center in Frisco called the HCA Healthcare Center for Clinical Development.
Nurses and nurse residents will receive advanced training in an environment that simulates a healthcare setting and includes interactive mannequin “patients” to mimic patient interactions.

For nurses suffering from burnout, education might be the best medicine
Real Clear Education
Burnout is rearing its ugly head on the healthcare industry. Nearly half of nurses report feeling overwhelming stress on a weekly basis, and just as many are considering leaving their jobs. Nursing turnover has reached its highest point
in a decade — costing the average hospital as much as $6.9 million per year. With the country already facing a nursing shortage, medical providers cannot afford to lose the talented and capable nurses they already have.

Surgical Science
One of the ongoing discussions in medical education addresses whether practicing a procedure on a simulator can translate to improved patient outcomes. We know that simulation resources are used to hone healthcare team performance. Institutions have also documented the value of simulation training in providing learners with a risk-free environment where they can practice surgical techniques. Now, a recent University of Michigan study directly addressed the link between simulation and patient outcomes. Their study proves the hypothesis true: regular simulation training can measurably improve patient outcomes.

Next Generation Harvey realistically simulates nearly any cardiac disease at the touch of a button by varying blood pressure, pulses, heart sounds, murmurs and breath sounds. Harvey is the longest continuous university-based simulation project in medical education, and no other simulator presents cardiac bedside findings at the level of detail and fidelity found in Harvey.

ER patients may care less about doctor's race, gender than previously thought
Reuters
In an online experiment, people gave “simulated” emergency room doctors roughly the same satisfaction rating regardless of the healthcare provider’s gender or color.
People’s confidence in the doctor’s abilities did not appear to be affected by the doctor’s race or gender, according to the report published in JAMA Network Open.

The importance of language and cultural competencies in healthcare simulation
SIMTALK Blog
Approximately 57 million people in the U.S., or about 20% of the population, speak a language other than English in their homes. Another 25 million people, about 8.6% of the population, are considered to have limited English proficiency (LEP). The Pew Research Center estimates that by the year 2021, 50 percent of newly insured patients will be minorities and less likely to speak English as their primary language.

Using performance modeling for brain tissue simulations
MedicalXpress
Scientists at the EPFL Blue Brain Project have extended performance modeling techniques to the field of computational brain science. In a paper published in Neuroinformatics, they provide a quantitative appraisal of the performance landscape of brain tissue simulations, and analyze in detail the relationship between an in silico experiment, the underlying neuron and connectivity model, the simulation algorithm and the hardware platform being used.
