Best in Class Technology for Nursing Simulation

As technology improves and nursing simulation training becomes the gold standard in healthcare education, the number of vendors and the amount of data generated has grown exponentially. As a result, some vendors who specialize in the manufacture of mannequins are providing audio-video systems that can only interface to their own mannequins. While this may be a cost-saver today for institutions that have purchased one type of mannequin, they can end up technologically and financially pigeon-holing themselves in the future should they decide to purchase additional mannequins from competing vendors.

Taking the first steps to build a nursing simulation training program can be scary. There are multiple vendors to choose from, multiple teams (administration, clinicians, and IT) to work with, and multiple scenarios to plan for. What works best for your program today may not be what works best tomorrow, or several years down the line when you are expanding. The best way to prepare for the data storm that arises from simulation is to invest in a clinical simulation management platform that can handle all your data and integration needs—today, and in the future.

A robust nursing simulation management platform like EMS’ SIMULATIONiQ offered as an Enterprise, One Room, Portable, and Mobile solutions can do what most others cannot: provide a comprehensive operating solution that brings together all the programs, people, and processes into single, unified view for optimized ease of use. In essence, SIMULATIONiQ can capture, organize, and analyze the mountains of data produced from your simulation training programs.

From custom scenarios, student portfolios, video recordings, mannequin vital signs and activity logs, and everything in between, it’s easy to lose track among all the output of what’s really important to your program. And what’s important to one program may not be the same as another. As the market grows and institutions expand their simulation facilities, it’s necessary to find a data management platform that is adaptable to your needs today, and will save you time and money, as well as grow as your program expands.

As an educator and a clinician, there are clear, overarching goals you are striving for with nursing simulation training: student education, patient safety, improved clinical outcomes, and system efficiency. But with all the unique features each vendor offers, how do you know if you’re actually meeting these goals? How can you tell if you’re utilizing your investment to its full potential?

Whether you’re running a single simulation event or thousands, EMS’ SIMULATIONiQ Enterprise uses the latest web-based technologies to simply and seamlessly capture, organize, and analyze the full spectrum of your nursing simulation efforts.

Through the simplification of multiple programs, vendors, processes, people, and data into one user-friendly system, SIMULATIONiQ allows simulation instructors to rest easy knowing they can manage the data storm, collect more meaningful information, and improve the quality of the healthcare training they are providing, leading to better outcomes. With SIMULATIONiQ Enterprise, the results are tangible: greater visibility, usability, marketability, adaptability, scalability, measurement, and ROI.
