Announcing the new Certified Healthcare Simulation Educators—Advanced!
The reviews for this last round of applicants have been completed, and the Certification is pleased to announce the following individuals are now Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator-Advanced (CHSE-A):
Kristen Brown, Baltimore, MD
Michelle Feliciano, Cleveland, OH
AJ Kleinheksel, Augusta, GA
Colleen Meakim, Villanova, PA
Chris Muckler, Durhan, NC
Jamie Roberston, Boston, MA
Carman Turkelson, Flint, MI
We look forward to celebrating this achievement as part of the President’s Diamond Ball at IMSH in 2020—be sure to come and celebrate these new CHSE-A’s and so many others at the Diamond Ball.
In the meantime, the CHSE-A Subcommittee of the Certification Council is working hard to improve the application and review process—be sure to watch for those changes to come. There is also a portfolio preparation class at IMSH (preconference on Saturday) if you want to get more hands-on guidance and assistance. Those same subcommittee members will be presenting and sharing insights into how to prepare your portfolio and present it in a way that supports the clarity of understanding of your work in healthcare simulation.
VR And simulation driving a revolution in medical education and surgery
Health Care Tech Outlook
Virtual reality and augmented reality 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.

Barriers to using simulation in EMS education
SIMTalk Blog
These days, emergency medical services (EMS) providers are being asked to do more than perform high-risk, low-reward healthcare procedures. Many out-of-hospital departments are being educated to do comprehensive physical assessments as well.
Simulation should be at the core of healthcare education, including EMS education and training. Unfortunately, as was revealed in the 2015 Simulation Use in Paramedic Research (SUPER) study, although 91% of respondents say they have access to simulation technology, only 71% use the equipment.

Valley doctor uses virtual reality to teach kids about dementia, Alzheimer's
KNXV-TV
"You're going to have a simulation of what it's like to have a brain disease," said Dr. Gillian Hamilton to a classroom of high school seniors.
Hamilton is giving students at Metro Tech High School a crash course in dementia. "You can't really care about somebody unless you understand what it's like to be them," said Hamilton.

Healthcare cybersecurity employee training best practices for CIOs and CISOs
Healthcare IT News
Ransomware, in all of its pervasive forms, is associated with the vast majority of healthcare cyber incidents, and it is often a simple result of inadequate security training. Because of that inadequate security training, employees are using and re-using weak or already compromised passwords, clicking links they shouldn’t be, leaving databases unsecured, not applying security patches or storing protected health information on USB drives and losing them.

5 ways technology will enable value-based care in 2020 and beyond
Forbes
If your first thought while reading that statement was, “I’ve heard that before – and nothing actually ever changes,” your skepticism is well founded, as industry experts have been purporting significant transformation for at least a decade. However, Joe Harpaz truly believes we’ve reached a tipping point, and that consumers will see real healthcare change in the near future.

 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.

Virtually modelling surgery in real-time: A Q&A with HeartFlow
TechRadar
When TechRadar last spoke with HeartFlow’s founder and CTO Charles Taylor earlier in 2019, he explained how the company is using AI and deep learning to build 3D models of patients’ hearts. These models provide doctors with a safer and more effective way of diagnosing cardiovascular disease.
Now HeartFlow has developed a new technology called Planner which takes things a step further by allowing doctors to virtually model surgery in real-time.

Thanks to AI, medical treatments are becoming more personalized
The Next Web
Artificial Intelligence has come a long way since it was in its blooming stages in the 1940s. It was a time when the direct interaction between AI and humans seemed impossible and people were even scared by the thought. All sorts of theories started emerging that made artificial intelligence look deadly for humans.

Surgical Science
The FLS test measures the minimal requirements for cognitive knowledge and manual skills for laparoscopic surgery. Dr. Ahlberg successfully integrated
VR simulation into his laparoscopic training. The outcome translates to a 40% reduction of errors
in the operating room. Reason being he could measure
technical skills beyond the FLS test.

Medical devices are ubiquitous, vital, and often unsecure
Texas Public Radio
When Jay Radcliffe hacked his own insulin pump on stage at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in 2011, the room filled with applause.
Diagnosed with type one diabetes at age 22, he had just demonstrated how a bad guy could really mess him up.
“You could give me insulin right now, without my authority,” he said from the stage.

SDSU nursing students get access to "virtual clinic"
KELO-TV
A large population chooses to live in the country, but can living far outside of cities put you more at risk in matters of life and death? According to the the Association of American Medical Colleges, it can.
Statistics from the AAMC show death rates are higher for people who live in rural areas versus cities, because of a nationwide lack of health care access.

Texas A&M nursing leaders talk tech advances
The Eagle
The dean of the Texas A&M College of Nursing testified before a U.S. House committee in November and discussed technological and other innovations in academic nursing.
Nancy Fahrenwald, who began her work as the nursing college’s dean in June 2018, told the U.S. House Committee on Small Business on November 13 that pairing cutting-edge technology with foundational nursing principles is vital for “upscaling” the future of health care.

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.
