| FROM THE DESK OF THE DIRECTOR OF ACCREDITATION |
Hello. I wanted to take a moment to share some of the exciting projects that the Accreditation Council has been working on, and anticipate launching in 2019. First, SSH Accreditation program reviewers are currently developing a series of online courses focused on each area of Accreditation – Core, Assessment, Research, Teaching and Systems Integration. All of the courses are developed by SSH Accreditation Reviewers with subject matter expertise in each Accreditation specialty. Each course will be three to four weeks in length and will provide learners with greater insight into each Accreditation standard and its intended objective. Stay tuned to the SSH website for upcoming dates for these courses. Second, the Council is developing a new SSH Accreditation webpage which will serve as a quarterly newsletter to our members. The webpage will highlight Accredited Programs as well as SSH Accreditation Reviewers, and will discuss Accreditation initiatives and special projects being pursued by the Council. Look for the launch of this webpage in August of 2019. Finally, the application process for SSH Accreditation is getting an upgrade. Soon, interested applicants will be able complete their Accreditation submission entirely online. SSH Accreditation is working with a company called WizeHive to develop the online application. Not only will this make the process easier for applicants, but for SSH reviewers as well, because it will create a standardized format of application submission. As you can see, the Accreditation Council has been busy; we are excited to share some of our high priority projects with you, and look forward to launching these projects. ~ Kristyn Gadlage

Mental health professionals training to provide talk therapy can sharpen their clinical listening skills by practicing in chatbot sessions with neural conversational agents. In fact, the study behind the finding shows that even entirely inexperienced trainees can improve some such skills in as little as 20 minutes using the agents, which are computer programs set up to naturalistically interact with people using everyday language.

With over 2500 individuals in Wichita County, Texas, already trained from the ‘Stop the Bleed’ program, United Regional is teaming up with MSU Texas nursing students to prepare even more individuals to deal with emergencies and information that can be essential to saving a life. “A lot of times when you’re injured, you don’t have time for first responders to get there, it’s that first person that’s on the scene that can do the most amount of good,” United Regional Trauma Outreach Coordinator Laura Pressler said.

Ruairi J. MacKenzie writes "As I swoop down through the mouse’s cerebrum, a bright buzz of red, excitatory neurons gives way to a deep core of blue inhibitory signaling, which rises up to a powerful cyan as I navigate towards the dense frontal cortex. Switching to a deeper view, I reach the brain stem and inspect the intricate meshwork of oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and microglia. This is probably what it feels like to be a synesthetic brain surgeon, and it’s all being played out on my computer screen."

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).

For a patient, a diagnostic error can mean the difference between life and death. While estimates vary, likely more than 100,000 Americans die or are permanently disabled each year due to medical diagnoses that initially miss conditions or are wrong or delayed. Now a research team, led by a Johns Hopkins Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality expert, reports it has identified three major disease categories — vascular events, infections and cancers — that account for nearly three-fourths of all serious harms from diagnostic errors.

Providing quality care to patients with chronic or life-limiting diagnoses requires staff who have the ability to feel and demonstrate empathy (the ability to walk in someone else's shoes). To instill a heightened level of empathy in healthcare providers, Transitions LifeCare developed an interactive workshop where people can experience first-hand, real-life symptom burdens common at the end of life.

Clinical simulations are an integral part of the curriculum in the College of Nursing at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), with most taking place in the College’s Learning and Technology Resource Center (LTRC). This 10,615-square-foot mock hospital includes, among other resources, seven high-fidelity simulation laboratories dedicated to giving nursing students real-world clinical experience long before they begin their professional careers in healthcare.

Despite most patients with cancer preferring to die at home, about a third still die in the hospital, with about 10% being in the intensive care unit (ICU), causing more pain and anxiety to the patient and increasing the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder and prolonged grief disorder for family and caregivers, according to a new study published in BMC Cancer. Not only do many patients die in the hospital, an estimated 30% of late-stage patients will be offered chemotherapy in the last few months of life, according to the study.

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.

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.

Researchers in Singapore are taking wearable technology to a whole new level. Wearable devices such as smart watches and heart rate monitoring sensors have in recent years become increasingly popular – and sometimes necessary – tools for consumers concerned about their personal health and fitness. With rapid advancements in wearable technology and the increasing sophistication of the data they transmit, the need for a way to connect these devices seamlessly and efficiently has become more important, especially for people who use more than one gadget at a time.

Initially developed with a view to perform surgery on the battlefield, robotic surgery has grown by leaps and bounds in the last two decades. Today, it has become one of the most sophisticated tools a surgeon has, allowing for precise, tremor-free surgery with the added benefits of a minimally-invasive approach. Robotic surgery involves the surgeon sitting at a console and operating on two joysticks. The surgeons’ wrist movements are replicated within the patients’ body by the robotic instruments allowing the surgery to be performed. Ultimately, the instruments are in direct control of the surgeon.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has basic rules for regulating wearable devices and other digital health tools, but those rules may change as rapid innovation continues and the agency creates new pathways to ensure the safety and efficacy of new consumer-facing products. American Medical Association experts outlined this and other need-to-know facts for physicians counseling patients who are increasingly looking to the wearable as a health tool.
