From the Desk of the Director of Education
Hello, everyone!
We're coming back together! As the annual meeting for the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) draws near and finishing touches are made to our final educational and scientific programs, I wanted to highlight key content themes you won't want to miss at the 22nd International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Content
In planning our call for content last spring, the IMSH 2022 Planning Team wanted to feature important initiatives and strategies for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in both our healthcare simulation training programs and in our communities.
You responded!
There are 20+ new courses included in the final IMSH 2022 program on strategies for the promotion of DEI in our work and in our communities. Join in the discussions as we explore opportunities and approaches to creating a stronger and more inclusive framework for training and growth. New resources, findings, and understandings will be center stage at IMSH 2022, and IMSH 2022 Delivers (our virtual delivery format).
NEW Opportunities for High-Tech Learning
Premiering at IMSH 2022, SSH is piloting a new learning experience designed to showcase novel and emerging tech for teaching and learning in healthcare simulation. The SSH SimVentors: Technology Experiential Area will provide an interactive arena in which IMSH attendees can try on, test drive, and simulate for themselves the many new and exciting technologies our industry partners have to offer. The SimVentors Tech Experience will be running all day Monday and Tuesday, January 17-18, to give you an opportunity to try out a few of the newest and most innovative simulation learning technologies.
IMSH Precons and Immersives: Opportunities to Take a Deep Dive!
No matter which of the many hats you wear in your simulation program, there is an IMSH Preconference or Immersive Course designed for you! These four-hour learning experiences afford you a unique opportunity to learn from the experts and deepen your knowledge and practice.
We are fortunate to partner with the beautiful Women’s Guild Simulation Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for our IMSH 2022 LIVE Immersive Courses. Plan your travel to arrive on Friday, January 14, so that you can enroll in one of our three exciting, hands-on Immersive Courses, being held Saturday morning, January 15 from 7 a.m. – 1 p.m. (includes travel time). Transportation will be provided to Cedars-Sinai.
In addition, there are 20 four-hour preconference courses available Saturday morning and afternoon that will give you an in-depth learning experience on topics of importance in healthcare simulation. Don't miss the opportunity to work with our leaders on topics covering all key roles in healthcare simulation.
Preconference and Immersive Courses are available for an additional registration fee of $320.00 each. Register NOW to reserve your seat! Space is limited.
See you soon!

AI and whole genome sequencing improve quick detection of infectious disease outbreaks
News-Medical
By coupling machine learning with whole genome sequencing, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Carnegie Mellon University scientists greatly improved the quick detection of infectious disease outbreaks within a hospital setting over traditional methods for tracking outbreaks. The results, published today in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, indicate a way for health systems to identify and then stop hospital-based infectious disease outbreaks in their tracks, cutting costs and saving lives.

'It's going to set the bar pretty high': A path forward for trusted AI in breast cancer risk prediction
STAT
As the role of artificial intelligence grows in medicine, one of the leading concerns is that algorithmic tools will perpetuate disparities in care. Because AIs are trained on health records reflecting current standards of care, they could end up parroting bias baked into the medical system if not carefully designed. And if algorithms aren't trained and tested on data from diverse populations, they could be less effective when used to guide care for poorly-represented subsets of patients.

Keeping those hands dirty
University of Nevada
Our pandemic year never seems to run out of lessons to teach, but one that hits especially close to home at UNLV is that, for tomorrow's health care providers, there's some learning that just has to be done hands-on. Fortunately for students in the university's health schools, there's no shortage of pretty cool facilities.

5 ways tech and care delivery models get payers closer to the quadruple aim
Managed Healthcare
For health insurance executives, pursuing the Quadruple Aim is the name of the game. While it's a noble ambition to focus on enhancing the patient experience, improving population health, reducing costs, and improving the work life of healthcare providers, it takes a lot of effort to make that happen.

The health concerns that hang over the metaverse
Politico
The coming metaverse from Facebook and other companies — which aims to reimagine today's internet as a 3D experience we can be a part of instead of looking at a screen — could improve or expand access to health care. However, some tech experts and leading researchers on virtual reality in medicine see much of this recent chatter as hype with possible downsides for patients.

FDA approves virtual reality system to ease back pain
UPI
A 3-D virtual reality system to treat back pain was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration this week. The EaseVRx system is a prescription device for at-home use that combines cognitive behavioral therapy and other behavioral methods to treat patients 18 and older with chronic lower back pain.

How virtually 'scrubbing in' could help surgeons hone their skills
Mobi Health News
There are a slew of digital health startups looking to change the surgical space to make it more connected, from Hillrom's surgical communication tool to Activ Surgical's solution that gives surgeons real-time intraoperative visual data. London-based virtual surgery platform Proximie is looking to tackle surgical connectivity challenges with its augmented reality, machine learning and artificial intelligence tools that let doctors remotely scrub into operations. The company was founded in 2016 by Dr. Nadine Hachach-Haram, who experienced that disconnect in surgery firsthand.

Impact of using drones in emergency medicine: What does the future hold?
Dovepress
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles or "drones" has expanded in the last decade, as their technology has become more sophisticated, and costs have decreased. They are now used routinely in farming, environmental surveillance, public safety, commercial product delivery, recreation, and other applications. Health-related applications are only recently becoming more widely explored and accepted.

iOS app development for healthcare — advanced features & cost
Appinventi
Gone are the days when the only way to avail healthcare services was by visiting hospitals and clinics. The advent of healthcare applications has now made it easier to book appointments with doctors and provide timely care to patients even in remote areas. According to a report by Grand View Research, the global mHealth apps market size was valued at USD 40.05 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17.7% from 2021 to 2028.

Robots can never replace human surgeons
Daily Trojan
It's 2100. We are living in the "metaverse" — self-driving cars line the streets, entrepreneurs craze over Bitcoin and college students teleport to their cyber-physical classrooms. It sounds like a technological marvel for some but a virtual dystopia for others. For the foreseeable future, we may see some far-fetched science fiction ideas become scientifically possible. Telemedicine's growth foregrounds a surge in telesurgery where doctors perform remote surgery on patients in other cities, states, continents or space.
