| FROM THE DESK OF THE SSH DIRECTOR OF MEETINGS AND EXHIBITS |
As the weather gets cooler and leaves change colors and fall, the Meetings and Exhibits department of SSH kicks into high gear for our busy season. We are in full-forward mode with IMSH exhibit sales and logistics preparation to ensure a positive and memorable experience to all attending IMSH in San Antonio in January.
In addition to booth sales, sponsorships and scheduling Corporate Roundtable Learning Labs, logistics is a primary focus. Just what is logistics? Logistics are the "foundation blocks" of the attendee experience: everything from hotel sleeping rooms, ordering all the food and beverage (THOUSANDS of cups of coffee are consumed by IMSH attendees!), planning the details for a spectacular President’s Diamond Ball, directional signs ... literally every detail of the meeting.
Registration and exhibit sales are pacing to be the largest IMSH meeting yet, and we are looking forward to welcoming all of your to San Antonio for IMSH 2019 for an incredible experience!!

Conceptually understanding the potential hazards in a hospital room and being able to spot them are different skill sets. By focusing on situational awareness, the “patient safety room of horrors” — a safety-focused simulation — aims to help medical students and residents understand to identify potential hospital room mishaps before they happen. The room of horrors is used at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, a member of the AMA Accelerating Change in Medical Education Consortium.

Imagine yourself sitting outside your institution’s executive boardroom. You’re waiting to be called in to make your case for investing in medical simulation. You believe in the benefits of simulation. And, you’re passionate about what it can do. But at some point, you know you’ll be asked, “What’s the return on investment, the ROI?”
To stake your claim in that discussion, experts advise that you find common ground. This involves striking a balance between understanding what’s important to senior management, being clear about what you intend to deliver, and remaining firm about metrics that are important to solving the problem at hand.

As the need for nurses rises in the U.S., Salisbury University is ahead of the curve. The Richard A. Henson Medical Simulation Center is providing students with a unique, hands-on way to practice medical situations on mannequins. The center has five mannequins, each with different simulation practices and demographics, based on whatever the students are learning. Each room is also equipped with camera and voice monitoring so instructors can review the students while going through simulations.

Physical therapy is a crucial part of recovery after orthopedic surgery, and a new study suggests that patients may do just as well meeting with a virtual therapist.
Researchers at Duke Clinical Research Institute piloted a digital physical therapist tool with 143 patients who underwent total knee replacement at four different providers. A control group of 144 patients were prescribed traditional physical therapy.

Community health workers — trusted laypeople from local communities who help high-risk patients to address social issues like food and housing insecurity — can help reduce hospital stays by 65 percent and double the rate of patient satisfaction with primary care, according to new study results published in JAMA Internal Medicine. The study, conducted by researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, focused on chronically-ill low-income patients and U.S. veterans, and is the first multi-center randomized controlled trial to demonstrate these kinds of improvements resulting from a health system-based social intervention.

Actors performing for the camera, as entertaining as they might be, are not usually associated with solving important problems. But these Hollywood essentials are being put to use in one medical school’s effort to correct some of the shortcomings of text-based multiple-choice exams, performance on which have a big effect on the residency Match process. Several studies have found that exams consisting of multiple-choice questions — particularly the United States Medical Licensing Examination — are not the best or only evaluation method that should be used in postgraduate residency selection, according to Senthil Kumar Rajasekaran, M.D.

A mobile simulation unit where healthcare providers, particularly those in outlying areas of northeast Georgia Health System’s service area, can be taught lifesaving techniques should hit the road in about a year. “It’s a dream come true,” said Dr. Michael Appel, chief patient safety officer for the Georgia-based system. “We think it’s going to really improve the quality and safety of care in our region. Having it happening sooner rather than later is just fantastic.”

Medicine involves leadership. Nearly all physicians take on significant leadership responsibilities over the course of their career, but unlike any other occupation where management skills are important, physicians are neither taught how to lead nor are they typically rewarded for good leadership. Even though medical institutions have designated “leadership” as a core medical competency, leadership skills are rarely taught and reinforced across the continuum of medical training.

“Is he dead?” someone screamed dramatically, seeing a small tube sticking out of a man’s chest and bleeding leg.
The man in question was a medical student participating in a disaster simulation drill at the Arkansas College of Osteopathic Medicine. It was the college’s first drill and featured other students from various schools from Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Harvey Potts,executive director of simulation and critical skills, said the college hosted a conference with CAE, the supplier of its disaster drill supplies for the Gulf Coast region states. The conference featured multiple learning sessions plus the drill.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center has developed a smartphone app to help educate providers on the proper use of opioids. The approach offers a daily quiz for clinicians that poses a problem on the proper utilization of opioid and non-opioid therapies in managing patients’ pain. The app, called QuizTime, sends a daily question to clinicians via text or email. In response, they submit their answers and receive immediate feedback.
