Presented by Richard Pizzi, AIA, VP, and healthcare design principal for Lavallee Brensinger Architects.

We had a great response to today's webinar. Feel free to post your questions/comments for Richard in the comments box below.

Abstract: This interactive webinar will explore the planning, programming, and design of clinical simulation centers. We will discuss a collaborative and inclusive process to define your goals and create a space program that accommodates all simulation activities. The webinar will discuss the design of flexible, multi-functional simulation labs and the spatial relationships between labs and support space. The webinar will also review the integration of simulation, AV, and medical equipment as well as lessons learned and current/future trends from active simulation centers.

Presented by H. Michael Young, Simulation Technology Specialist, Tarleton State University.

We had an overwhelming response to today's webinar. Feel free to post your questions/comments for Michael in the comments box below.

Abstract: as simulation matures within the context of healthcare education, training and assessment, the need for standardized case scenarios continues to rise. Much work has been done around this topic, and a market for pre-programmed scenarios has emerged. Faculty often don't have the time to develop scenarios from scratch, let alone program the outcomes as well. This webinar will address the challenges common to on-the-fly operation, and how programming can automate processes. Ultimately, the programmed scenario functions as a "check-list" aiding in navigation during debriefing. Learner interventions are "checked off" and the programming does the work, freeing the educator/operator to focus on assessing learners. At the end of the webinar, attendees will have a clearer picture of how programming can effectively reduce preparation time, standardize patient responses to learner interventions, and improve fidelity through team work.

We had a great response to the webinar (Feb 6) "Is Calculating an ROI Impossible?" - presented by Amar P. Patel, MS, NREMT-P, CFC, Director, Center for Innovative Learning, WakeMed Health & Hospitals.

Abstract: There are variables that must be considered when determining if simulation will impact patient safety, make changes in our students' ability to understand and apply the knowledge they gain, and determine if it is a cost-effective way of providing education. Simply put, is calculating an ROI impossible? This webinar will focus on how simulation programs can generate an ROI without using complex calculations. In the end, you will be able to show a return on investment simply by using student feedback, faculty buy-in, and program metrics.

We had a great response to the webinar (Jan 9) "Developing Psychiatric Assessment Skills and Empathy through Simulation in Undergraduate Nursing Students" by Patricia K. Bradley, PhD, RN, FAAN, Assistant Professor of Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing; Colleen Meakim, MSN, RN, Director, Simulation and Learning Resources; and Gale Robinson-Smith, PhD, RN, Assistant Professor - Villanova University College of Nursing.

Abstract: This presentation will discuss how simulation and standardized patients can be used to develop mental health assessment skills and empathy for psychiatric patients. It will also address the logistical considerations of creating psychiatric simulation experiences.

Target audience: any healthcare professional or educator who deals with or wants to learn about using simulation for psych/mental health.
