Healthcare Simulation Week will take place September 17-21, 2018. Launched in 2017, Healthcare Simulation Week raises awareness of how simulation-based education in healthcare is advancing patient care.
SSH announced today that 1506 healthcare professionals from 30 countries have achieved certification since the program began in 2012. This year alone, 89 healthcare simulation professionals have earned certification between January 1 and March 31, 2018.
The inauguralHealthcare Simulation Weekcurrently taking place September 11-15, was recognized today in the Congressional Record in remarks by Congressman Andy Harris of Maryland.
Healthcare simulation is rapidly changing the face of healthcare. Simulation isa technique that creates a situation or environment allowing people to experience a representation of a real event for the purpose of experiential practice, learning, testing, evaluation and understanding of systems. The inaugural Healthcare Simulation Week will be held September 11-15, 2017
The Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) announced today it has been recognized by ASAE with a 2017 Gold Circle Award in the Convention/Meetings Marketing category.
The Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) reported today record growth in several key areas including membership, conference attendance and the number of accredited centers.
Global simulation in healthcare event to address the newest ways that simulated learning environments are used to train medical professionals for active shooting scenarios, mass casualty emergencies and medical training
The first-ever Healthcare Simulation Dictionary, a project of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) has been published and is now available online, the society announced today [June 10].
The Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) presented a series of awards and recognized newly certified professionals this month, all recognizing excellence the field at the International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH).
The Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) recognized nearly 300 newly certified professionals last month at the International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH).
Healthcare educators and practitioners seeking guidelines, best practices, and recommendations for creating and managing cost-effective, researched-based simulation education and training programs now have a world class road map in the new textbook Defining Excellence in Simulation Programs.
Hospitals, clinics and other emergency portals of entry that are planning for Ebola and other infectious disease-readiness now have access to a previously sold-out webinar featuring simulation education in crisis preparedness.
A new award-winning study, “The NCSBN National Simulation Study: A Longitudinal, Randomized, Controlled Study Replacing Clinical Hours with Simulation in Prelicensure Nursing Education,” offers strong evidence supporting the use of high quality healthcare simulation as a substitute for up to 50% of traditional clinical time.
Two papers published in the August issue of Simulation in Healthcare: the Journal of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, explore recent studies in teaching approaches that seek to improve the necessary communications skills in breaking bad news.
Simulation techniques that target medical errors and seek to provide continued improvement in the quality and safety of patient care are rapidly becoming the new “go to” methods for professional healthcare education. Ranging from simulated human patients to detailed animations and disaster scenarios, these fool-proof techniques are increasingly used by hospitals, universities, and training schools to bridge between classroom learning and real-life clinical experience.
