Newswise — Exton, PA – [June 29, 2016] Education Management Solutions (EMS), the innovation leader in providing clinical management solutions to the healthcare simulation market, launched SIMULATIONiQ™ IPE, the first & only product solution for interprofessional education (IPE) team training. SIMULATIONiQ™ IPE, a virtual team based solution replicates different disciplines working together on a common patient case using an innovative technology platform. The IPE solution can not only be used to augment existing IPE programs but also provide a single solution for those institutions lacking the time or resources to develop a formalized IPE curriculum. In either situation, SIMULATIONiQ™ IPE allows the faculty or staff to operate at maximum efficiency. Traditional IPE training has several challenges to reach a broader audience of healthcare providers and students including limited capacity, it is very time consuming and high cost. SIMULATIONiQ™ IPE has the unique benefits of providing anywhere, anytime training, while also being affordable and time saving.
Stated Anurag Singh, President of EMS, “There is a profound unmet need in the healthcare community for just this type of efficient and effective solution. Whether it be a hospital, medical school or nursing school, they all share a common goal of improving patient outcomes against a known set of common causes.” Added Leland Rockstraw, Assistant Dean & Associate Clinical Professor of Nursing, College of Nursing & Health Professions Drexel University, “Medical errors are now the 3rd leading cause of death in the US each year, creating an urgency for medical institutions to improve the skills of healthcare professionals to help bridge this gap. We know that these errors are most often associated with breakdowns in communication, misdiagnosis, and coordination of care. Interprofessional Education (IPE) and collaborative practice can address these issues.”
