| FROM THE DESK OF THE DIRECTOR OF MEETINGS AND EXHIBITS |
It’s not too early to plan to attend IMSH 2020, January 18-22, in San Diego. This is the 20th Anniversary meeting of IMSH! Final touches are being made to a robust program AND exhibit sales have just opened and sales are brisk and promising the Expo Hall will be the largest yet.
The International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) is recognized as the world's largest conference dedicated to healthcare simulation learning, research and scholarship, and one of the fastest growing and comprehensive meetings in the rapidly evolving field of simulation. IMSH is considered the educational and networking event for the simulation world.
A valuable and integral part of this educational experience is the IMSH Expo Hall where more than 100 exhibitors reach a diverse audience of physicians, nurses, educators, administrators, center operations directors, technology specialists, and other health care providers involved in medical simulation using mannequin and computer based simulation, virtual reality, standardized patients and task trainers. The Exhibit Hall schedule offers 19 hours of dedicated times for the important interaction between exhibitors and simulation professionals.
For companies and organizations marketing to or providing products and services to the field of simulation, this is where to gain visibility and meet with more than 3,000 key decision makers. The first group to select space is Corporate Roundtable (CR) members. CR members enjoy priority placement, extra priority points and a discount of up to $500 on their exhibit space. For more information on CR membership, visit here.
The rest of the hall will open for exhibit sales in descending priority point order and then to first come, first served order until the hall is sold out. If you are interested in exhibiting or know of a company that would benefit from this robust exposure to many sim professionals, have them contact us at: exhibits@ssih.org.
We invite and welcome you to participate at IMSH 2020 and look forward to seeing you in San Diego for the 20th Anniversary meeting of IMSH. Any questions or comments? We can be reached at exhibits@ssih.org.~ Judy Larson

Israeli doctors have developed a method of using a 3D printer to facilitate delicate and complex operations. According to Makor Rishon, physicians at the Galilee Medical Center in the northern Israeli city of Nahariya used the technique to treat a woman whose eye socket was badly damaged in a car accident. The doctors scanned the patient’s face and then used a 3D printer to produce an exact replica, or “simulation,” of her skull.

Researchers have 3D-printed a heart using a patient's cells, providing hope that the technique could be used to heal hearts or engineer new ones for transplants. "This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart replete with cells, blood vessels, ventricles and chambers," Professor Tal Dvir of Tel Aviv University's School of Molecular Cell Biology and Biotechnology said in a statement. Dvir is senior author of the research, published recently in the journal Advanced Science.

Doctors say there are endless possibilities for what can go wrong for a pregnant mother and her baby during delivery. Indiana has a growing infant mortality rate, and Franciscan Health nurses are training to know what to do in those scary situations that they say are happening more often. Nurses at Franciscan Health are using high-tech mannequins to simulate real-life emergencies that occur when a pregnant woman goes into cardiac arrest.

HITRD’s listening session is focused on potential solutions for achieving interoperability across medical devices, electronic health records (EHRs) and the data generated by and stored in the systems. The group said it believes that advancing the ability to move standardized data between multiple medical devices and systems could significantly enhance patient outcomes by improving the quality and consistency of care, reducing errors, enhancing efficiency, reducing development times and costs, and decreasing healthcare provider burnout.

For 14 years, through trial and error, the audiovisual consulting and implementation team at B-Line Medical has established simulation center audiovisual design best practices. Too often, a significant amount of time and money is invested to create a simulation center that is less than ideal operationally for the simulation experts responsible for its day to day activities. When creating a simulation center design, it’s critically important to address all work-flow logistics such as: audio capture acoustics, simulation equipment storage, movement and setup, debriefing flexibility that accommodates participants when the center is at maximum capacity, and student and faculty access (both locally and remote).

Demand is high for a new Saginaw Valley State University academic program designed for advanced practice nurses passionate about caring for patients suffering from mental health conditions or substance use addiction. In May, SVSU enrolled the first 16 students — all certified nurse practitioners — in its Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program, created by the university in response to shifting medical care demands caused in part by the opioid epidemic.

Among the endless metrics for assessing the quality of health care, one that is exceedingly important for measuring physician quality is on the chopping block. I’m talking about turning the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam Step One, which all medical students take at the end of their second year of studies, into a pass/fail test. This proposed change was quietly announced by the owners of the test and has received almost no media coverage. Such a pivotal change, which I find troubling, merits greater attention and debate. If you, too, think it is an unwise move, make your voice heard before comments on the proposal are closed on July 26.

Advancements in technology create new avenues for optimizing clinical trials and the lessons that can be learned from them. With the gap between advancements in technology and regulatory uptake in clinical trials, it is important to rigorously examine technology applications. While the promise of new technology can lead to overenthusiastic adoption, mirroring the pace of other industries may not always lead to the best outcomes for patients.

Lisa Ousley, D.N.P., saw a need in healthcare and created a solution. A prototype of Ousley’s instructional dermatology surface models earned her first place and $7,500 of seed money at the NursePitch event during the American Nurses Association’s 2019 Quality and Innovation Conference. The conference focuses on innovation in nursing. Ousley and her team create two- and three-dimensional instructional dermatology surface models of skin lesions.

Change is a constant in healthcare. With change, of course, comes disruption, new learning curves, and even potential patient risk. In the context of our mission of helping save lives, we believe that simulation is an optimal means for mitigating the impact of change. Through simulation, healthcare practitioners can train in realistic circumstances before ever taking into their care a human life.

Inside HPC
The concept of a digital twin — the mirroring of a physical object with a virtual object created by simulation-based engineering — has been around since NASA began using numerical simulation technology and comparing the results to ground-based physical models as it developed and managed early spacecraft. The shift is being driven by advances in high-performance computing (HPC), internet of things, simulation methods such as reduced-order modeling (ROM) and other technologies.
