Virtual patients help boost safety and quality care in medicine
Vancouver Sun
No humans are harmed in the medical training invented by Dr. Karim Qayumi and his team of CyberPatient developers. The interactive software technology developed in Vancouver is designed to let medical students make mistakes on computer-generated “patients” and is intended to fill gaps in medical learning by offering virtual patients that mimic medical scenarios, just as flight simulators teach pilots. The multimedia software offers a slew of symptoms and diseases to diagnose, and some “patients” even need immediate surgery.

Simulation-based education: Bringing theory and practice together
Dalhouse University News
In June 2019, an Air Canada flight from Vancouver to Anchorage had to make an emergency landing after one of its engines failed mid-flight. The plane returned safely to Vancouver due to the skill and training of the pilots. "Aircraft are designed to fly on one engine and our pilots are trained for such situations," the airline said in a prepared statement. Understandably, pilots don’t receive this training by flying planes with one engine and on a wing and a prayer. Since the 1970’s pilots have relied on high-fidelity simulation training to learn life saving techniques in a low-risk setting. Medical education, for a myriad of reasons, has been slower on the uptake.

Medical Skill, Simulation and Research Center opened in Yangon, Myanmar
Eleven Media Group
The Medical Skill, Simulation and Research Center, the first of its kind in Myanmar, was recently opened at University of Medicine in Yangon. State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi attended and addressed the opening ceremony. The construction of the building was financed by the government at a cost of 7.2 billion kyat. Construction started on January 1, 2018. The aim of establishing the center is to provide expertise and training for better treatment, ensure security for patients, provide international-standard training and improve other medical areas such as medical ethics, social communications and medical research.

Sustaining simulation education requires evidence of effectiveness
Columbia University Irving Medical Center via News Wise
Simulation education has evolved significantly over the years and has become essential to preparing nurses for clinical practice, but sustaining its evolution will require greater evidence of its effectiveness, according to a summary of Columbia University School of Nursing’s 2018 inaugural “Innovations in Simulation Summit,” which appears in the October 2019 issue of Clinical Simulation in Nursing. Lead author Kellie Bryant, D.N.P., executive director of simulation and assistant professor at Columbia University School of Nursing, and co-authors, praised the progress of simulation, while underscoring the need for research to continue advancing the field.

Grant to improve access to health education for rural students
Freemont Tribune
Improved access to healthcare education for rural area students is the goal of a $500,000 federal grant to Southeast Nebraska Community College (SCC), which has a branch in Plattsmouth. “This grant will support the development of a multi-campus simulation center that will connect all SCC locations using technology,” said Jill Sand, the college’s dean of health sciences. The Lincoln and Beatrice campuses will serve as hubs for the software, she said.

 B-Line Medical - A Laerdal Company
 As many people know, the initial cost of setting up a healthcare simulation center with equipment, inventory, audiovisual infrastructure, and management software can be substantial. These endeavors are often funded through grants, gifts or other one-time capital events. As a result, ongoing simulation center expenses must be justified. Selecting B-Line Medical’s SimCapture as the learning management solution for your center’s educational platform provides significant return on investment in critical areas of operation allowing for nearly immediate justification. SimCapture not only offers automation and efficiency tools, but it will help provide curriculum management and increased collaboration throughout your center.

West Virginia University healthcare simulation center earns full accreditation, joining less than 3% of centers worldwide
My Buckhannon
Students at West Virginia University’s Health Sciences campus now have the opportunity to learn hands-on patient care at one of the world’s only fully-accredited healthcare simulation centers. David and JoAnn Shaw Simulation Training and Education for Patient Safety recently attained full accreditation by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare’s accreditation council. STEPS is now the first and only center in West Virginia to be accredited in every area by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare.

Future prospects of augmented reality in healthcare
Analytics Insight
Augmented Reality can change brain surgery procedures because of incredible diagnostic platforms, reform radiology, and open new ways to reconstructive surgery. Despite the fact that these innovations are getting a lot of consideration today, they have been around for quite a while. In 1965, Robert Mann introduced the primary virtual framework in medication (The Thousand Faces of Virtual Reality). It was utilized to choose what’s the best method for an orthopedic illness would be. It was additionally used to encourage another training environment for orthopedic residents.

VR And simulation driving a revolution in medical education and surgery
Health Care Tech Outlook
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are two contemporary simulation models that are currently transforming healthcare, especially medical education and operation. Virtual reality, visualization and simulation technologies are ideal learning opportunities for surgical education and training. Continuing improvements in this realm propose a significant future role for virtual reality and simulation in surgical education and training. The advent in this field is creating a novel environment for residents to learn manual skills without compromising on patient safety.

How RPG logic and simulations are changing the game in healthcare
PC Magazine
Role-playing games (RPGs) and simulations (SIMs) are some of the most engaging types of games because they place players in various immersive situations. Participants can succeed or fail at their quests depending on how they respond to situations and challenges. They can also learn from their mistakes and increase their experience the more they play. This type of game logic is now being integrated with various technologies to benefit healthcare providers and patients by helping them better engage in potentially life-saving conversations.
