| FROM THE DESK OF THE DIRECTOR OF ACCREDITATION |
Congratulations to all of the newly SSH Accredited and Reaccredited programs from 2018!! We sincerely enjoyed celebrating your achievement at the 2019 Diamond Ball.
Additionally, the SSH Council would like to offer its congratulations to Amy Smith, an SSH Accreditation Reviewer, who received the inaugural Gail Johnson Award. Prior to her passing, Gail Johnson was a long standing member of SSH; her contributions towards SSH Accreditation included development of the SSH Accreditation Standards and Companion documents, service on both the SSH Accreditation Council and SSH Accreditation Board of Review, and was an SSH Accreditation Team Leader and led well over 15 Accreditation application reviews. Her commitment to healthcare simulation, SSH Accreditation and quality was apparent in all that she did. Simulation Programs are better because of her. As a Council, we felt it important to honor her and her continued contributions to SSH Accreditation. The Council developed the Gail Johnson award that recognizes a SSH Accreditation Site Reviewer who demonstrates integrity, scholarship, positivity and leadership. The award will be given annually at IMSH. Congratulations, again, to Amy Smith for receiving this award and exemplifying integrity, scholarship, positivity and leadership.
The SSH Accreditation Council would also like to thank our SSH Accredited programs who were recognized as having exemplary practices for presenting those practices during an IMSH panel presentation. It was a tremendously successful presentation thanks to all of the programs who presented.
Finally, thank you to our members and IMSH attendees for coming to the IMSH sessions on SSH Accreditation and learning about how to apply. We hope to see your applications soon. ~ Kristyn Gadladge

Alabama is pioneering a project to train school staff &mdash: including teachers, coaches and administrators — how to treat pupils suffering from drug overdoses. "Times have changed. Kids are getting things out of their parents' cabinets. They don't have to go out on the street, and they don't know what they are taking," says Jan Cibulski, school nursing supervisor in rural Shelby County — one of the regions signing up to the program.

Journal of Emergency Medical Services
In response to a profession-wide commitment to evidence-based practices, Emergency Medical Services stakeholders have put forth extensive efforts to ensure that their education and training programs are grounded on solid principles. As the new century unfolds, methodologies based on dogma and tradition continue to be replaced with those substantiated by research, and validated by what are often dramatic improvements in patient outcomes. As a result, many significant aspects of EMS, ranging from cardiac resuscitation to trauma care, appear quite different now than at the end of the 20th century.

Cardiac arrhythmia is a malfunction of the heart’s electrical system, which can make the vital organ beat too fast, too slow or irregularly. There’s no single cause of arrhythmia, and after decades of study of the illness, medical researchers are still learning how to treat complex cases. But help could come from a promising technique: Creating 3D models of hearts, then building simulations (called virtual hearts) to aid in research and in treatment and to determine the most effective location for a pacemakers’ electrodes.

Health IT Analytics
Organizational challenges with electronic health record (EHR) use and data stewardship strategies are at the top of this year’s ECRI Patient Safety Concerns list, indicating that healthcare providers are still finding it difficult to leverage their health information technology tools safely and consistently. Seven out of the 10 items on the list directly touch the world of data analytics and data management, highlighting the importance of developing comprehensive processes and deploying those processes clearly and cohesively across a healthcare system. Topping the 2019 edition of the list is errors related to diagnostic stewardship and test results using EHRs, the nonprofit ECRI Institute says. Providers must learn how to use digital tools to correctly report upon and share diagnostic data.

Kettering University News
The Kettering University pre-med program of study offers students a unique path to medical school through hands on simulation workshops, experiential education and perspectives that set them apart from students who take a traditional pre-med path. Students have the opportunity to work as medical scribes as undergraduate students at hospitals such as Hurley Medical Center and at the Genesee County morgue in Flint, Michigan. Scribes work directly with physicians to enter data into electronic Medical Records while the doctor is focusing on patients. The role allows the undergrads unprecedented access in a hospital and the opportunity to learn about different types of medicine.

Nursing Times
People with learning disabilities often have a poorer experience when in hospital, and receive poorer treatment and care, than people without learning disabilities. This can lead to worse outcomes, decreased quality of life, reduced life expectancy and even premature death. One way to tackle the problem is to make sure hospital staff are well equipped to address the needs of this patient group. At The Dudley Group Foundation Trust, preregistration students in their second year of adult nursing education attend a one-week training program designed to improve their knowledge and skills in this field, including via simulation acted out by service users.

Among all possible osteoporotic fractures, hip fractures are a major problem in Western countries. In fact, it is estimated that they affect one-third of women and a fifth of men. The prediction of osteoporotic hip fractures is very important in terms of quality of life and life expectancy. The main goal of a recent study published in the journal Bone was to find biomechanical criteria for the discrimination of the risk of hip fractures by exploring bone densitometry-based 3D models and specific finite element simulations for patients in vivo.
