An ordinary afternoon became extraordinary when Anthony Rosa Compres saved a man's life.
As he and two friends walked through their Bronx, New York, neighborhood after school last fall, they saw a man lying on the ground surrounded by a crowd of people.
Compres, a high school senior at the time, noticed the man wasn't breathing. His heart had stopped.
Two weeks earlier, Compres had learned CPR in health class. With the training fresh in his mind, he performed chest compressions until an ambulance arrived.

If you've ever thought about submitting an article to the Simulation Spotlight, now is the time. This publication is the weekly online newsletter for SSH. It has a consistently high open rate each week and is sent to more than 18,000 healthcare simulationists around the world. If you're not sure you have something of interest to submit, just take a look around your sim center and consider what kind of changes have been made there in the past few years. This could be the addition of new equipment, more staff, more technology, etc. Let us know what's happening in your neck of the healthcare simulation woods!
If you belong to an SSH Section, SIG or Affinity Group, submit a report on the things your group is doing or has done.
To discuss logistics and submission requirements, please direct inquiries to Simulation Spotlight's editor, Bianca Gibson.

In what will be an Australian-first, the Victorian government has announced plans to create a robot academy that will train surgeons in how to use the advanced tech to perform leading edge procedures on hard-to-reach and small spaces in the body. Robotics surgery is primarily used in the treatment of prostate cancer but has also been harnessed for gynecological procedures, as well as ear, nose and throat surgeries.

Transitioning a patient from your hospital to their home or another healthcare facility is often a complicated process. And figuring out how to best serve the patient, while avoiding readmissions, depends on good communication. When any communication breakdowns do occur, the patient suffers and the care transition becomes bumpier.

It’s always easier for doctors, surgeons and nurses to perform a procedure on a patient if they’ve practiced it a time or two. We’ve seen 3-D printed medical simulators for all sorts of medical procedures, from inserting IVs and suturing to intubating an airway and performing a keyhole surgery on a baby. However, this has not always been the case for anesthesiology. Procedural training for anesthesiology residents typically takes place as a part of patient care — not when the primary objective is actually learning the procedure.

A team of researchers with widely diverse backgrounds from several institutions in the U.S. has developed two video games designed to help improve results by doctors making triage decisions. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group describes how the games were developed and how well they worked when tested by doctors.

New technologies and large-scale data generation and analysis could potentially bring a more quantifiable approach to psychiatry and mental health treatment. In a recently published perspective, a group of Verily researchers and former FDA Commissioner Robert Califf, M.D., called for the psychiatric field to embrace digital sensors and the data sciences so that mental health practitioners can reduce the variability in outcomes that comes with intuition-based care.

A cross-industry survey on blockchain of some 1,000 business leaders, conducted by Deloitte, found that most global executives see great value in blockchain’s potential to reinvent processes across the business value chain, while there is interest and investment in a wide range of use cases. The research revealed that 74 percent of all respondents reported that their organizations see a “compelling business case” for the use of blockchain — and many of these companies are moving forward with the technology.

The past 10 years have given us some truly innovative technology. Now, healthcare providers are beginning to figure out the best ways to use it. They would do well to follow other industries by listening to consumers – in this case, patients – to determine the best way to incorporate this technology into their workflows. In this guest post, Vinay Seth Mohta, a managing director at an artificial intelligence engineering services firm, offers three patient-focused AI applications that might be a good place for healthcare executives to start.

Comfortable furniture, soft lighting and a relaxed atmosphere resembling a quiet time at home is probably one of the last images that springs to mind when discussing where to send someone needing emergency treatment during a mental health crisis. But an initiative being developed by the mental health clinic of Schenectady, New York-based health system Ellis Medicine will try to change traditional perceptions of how mental healthcare is delivered in a clinical setting by making its environment less clinical.
