Celebrate Healthcare Simulation Week with us! It's happening now! Check it out here: Healthcare Simulation Week.
Registration for IMSH 2020 opened on Thursday, September 12. Come join us o January 18 – 22, 2020 in San Diego while we are Inspired by our Patients; Driven by the Future. Register here!
SSH will be again be offering several scholarship opportunities for IMSH attendees in 2020 including The Beverlee Anderson Education Scholarship and the Bob Waters Memorial Scholarship. The Beverlee Anderson Scholarship is a need based scholarship for healthcare simulationists who may not be able to attend IMSH otherwise. The Bob Waters Scholarship will be awarded to a student, resident or fellow who is involved with simulation.
We are pleased to announce that again this year, The Pocket Nurse® and Dynarex® Education Scholarship Fund (PNDESF) will be offering four scholarships. This is their second year offering scholarships that include an SSH membership, a preconference course and a full IMSH registration package. This scholarship provides support to any Simulation Lab individual who currently is employed by an educational institution. This Scholarship is to support an individual to attend the annual International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH). This need-based scholarship was created for healthcare simulation professionals who would otherwise be unable to attend IMSH.
The applications for these scholarships is now open through September 19. You can apply for any of these scholarships here.
Please contact SSH Membership Coordinator, Ashley Grossman with any questions related to related to IMSH 2020 Scholarships at agrossman@ssih.org.
Michael S. Gordon Center for Simulation and Innovation in Medical Education
As we observe National Healthcare Simulation Week, I would like to start with a “thank you” to the simulation in healthcare community, for advocating, disseminating and evaluating the impact simulation and innovation has in healthcare education, in the field, and ultimately to your patients and community at large.

University of Arkansas News
The nursing instructors behind a two-way mirror are all powerful. In a simulation lab on the University of Arkansas campus, they can press a computer key and their nursing students have to act quickly to help their "patient," who has been programmed to go into full cardiac arrest. A few more keystrokes in the control room and now the nursing candidates are suddenly providing care for a dying patient.

PR Newswire
Healthcare simulation is rapidly changing the face of healthcare. Simulation is a technique that creates a situation or environment allowing people to experience a representation of a real event for the purpose of experiential practice, learning, testing, evaluation and understanding of systems. Healthcare Simulation Week (September 16 - 20), sponsored by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, SSH, celebrates professionals who use simulation to improve the quality of healthcare. Simulation is a rapidly evolving field in which an increasing number of healthcare professionals are finding fulfilling, lifelong careers.

Surgical Science
Virtual reality (VR) residency simulation training is revolutionizing surgical education. When surgery professor Dr. Hulda Einarsdottir stepped into her position as director of Yale’s Surgery Simulation Center in 2014, she had ambitious goals. She began by updating the Surgical Science training equipment and branding her curriculum. “Simulation training is invaluable to residents, but I would tell directors who are incorporating simulation training to learn from my mistakes,” she laughs. For the third article in our Best Practices Thought Leaders series, Dr. Einarsdottir describes six winning features of her program—and reflects on features that didn’t work so well.

Instructional medical manikins so technologically advanced that they breathe, blink, give birth, vomit and talk have arrived at Pikes Peak Community College’s new Center for Healthcare Education and Simulation, near the school’s Rampart Range campus. “Obviously, it’s not the same as a real person, but it helps us to develop that muscle memory,” said second-year registered nursing student Susan Varady.

Healthcare Learning Innovations
Deans at nursing schools seek to differentiate their programs, teach as many students as is practical and achieve educational excellence. Virtual simulations can help them meet those and other challenges, but making changes to curricula needs to be done with careful consideration. The good news is that you have options. In this article by Healthcare Learning Innovations, a leading provider of virtual clinical nursing simulations and scenarios, learn how schools are providing meaningful clinical experiences in a variety of ways - online! What's best for your program? Follow this link to help make that decision.

Fierce Head
Looking to avoid the problems that plagued the Department of Defense's initial electronic health record system rollout last year, the Department of Veterans Affairs is launching a training program for its $16 billion Cerner EHR effort. The training will address real-world VA healthcare challenges, the department said. The VA said it is leveraging the experiences of the DOD's ongoing medical records system rollout to develop a training program called VA Innovative Technology Advancement Lab (VITAL). The aim is to provide advanced training to selected end-users who will support continuous performance improvement, the VA said in a press release.

Yukon hospitals celebrated the opening of their new mobile clinical simulation centre this week.
The Yukon Hospital Foundation has spent two years raising $1 million to purchase state-of-the-art manikins and lab equipment, and cover the operating and maintenance costs to run the program.
Simulations will help doctors and nurses practice complex procedures, deliver babies, protect patients from unnecessary risks and save lives.
The lifelike manikins are similar to those used at many other hospitals in larger Canadian centers. They breathe, cough, talk, move and moan, especially when the simulation program is set up for a major training operation.

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.

Packaging Digest
The context in which a package is used should always be a consideration in packaging design—and never more so than when the product in question is designed for emergency medical care in an ambulance or other prehospital setting. Jiyon Lee, a doctoral candidate in the Michigan State University (MSU) School of Packaging, will delve into that subject in a presentation at Healthcare Packaging Immersion Experience (HcPIE) 2019, to be held in October.
