What is Medical Simulation?

• Simulation is a training method in which
  learners practice tasks and processes in lifelike
  circumstances using models or virtual reality . .
  . . to assist improvement in skills.

System, Institute of Medicine. National Academy
of Sciences. (1999).

What is the value of simulation?

• Improve competency
• Broaden experience
• Improve patient safety
• Reduce training costs

4
How Does Simulation Improve Competency?

• Experience and repetition develop skills and
  improve coordination
• see one, do one could become see many,
  practice many, do one

• Experience and repetition develop skills and
  improve coordination
• see one, do one could become see many,
  practice many, do one
• Complex procedures can be learned in a gradual
  stepwise process

How Does Simulation Improve Competency?

• Complex procedures can be learned in a gradual
  stepwise process ( and without all the pressure
  )

• Complex procedures can be learned in a gradual
  stepwise process
• Students can experiment with and feel the limits
  of procedures

11
How Does Simulation Broaden Experience?

• Improve competency
• Broaden experience
• Improve patient safety
• Reduce training costs

12
How Does Simulation Broaden Experience?

• Students can directly experience a very large
  range of illness and injury including rare
  pathologies.

13
How Does Simulation Broaden Experience?

• Students can directly experience a very large
  range of illness and injury including rare
  pathologies.

14
How Does Simulation Broaden Experience?

• Students can directly experience a very large
  range of illness and injury including rare
  pathologies.
• Experiences can be presented in a wide variety of
  environments organized, chaotic, benign,
  hostile, U.S. , foreign, land based, sea based,
  on earth, in space.

16
How Does Simulation Improve Patient Safety?

• Improve competency
• Broaden experience
• Improve patient safety
• Reduce training costs

17
How Does Simulation Improve Patient Safety?

• Training errors do no harm.
• Improved skills and competency reduce practice
  errors.
• Broader experience reduces errors where a
  practitioner must give treatment without prior
  experience.

18
How Does Simulation Improve Patient Safety?

• Improved teamwork skills and competency reduce
  practice errors.

19
How Does Simulation Cut Training Costs?

• Improve competency
• Broaden experience
• Improve patient safety
• Reduce training costs

20
How Does Simulation Cut Training Costs?

• The occurrence of simulated illnesses or injuries
  can be scheduled. Training schedules can be much
  more efficient.

21
How Does Simulation Cut Training Costs?

• The occurrence of simulated illnesses or injuries
  can be scheduled. Training schedules can be much
  more efficient.
• Students can practice many procedures without
  direct faculty supervision, effectively allowing
  an increased student to faculty ratio.

• Students can practice many procedures without
  direct faculty supervision, effectively allowing
  an increased student to faculty ratio.
• Faculty can self-study new procedures,
  effectively reducing faculty training costs.

• Students can practice many procedures without
  direct faculty supervision, effectively allowing
  an increased student to faculty ratio.
• Faculty can self-study new procedures,
  effectively reducing faculty training costs.
• Simulation materials are less costly than either
  animal or cadaver tissue, or standardized
  patients.

• Improved patient safety produces lower
  malpractice costs.

25
What Can Simulation Do?

• At the current state of the art, almost every
  known medical procedure can be simulated.

26
Facilities
14,000 square foot former Operating Room Suite
with 12 rooms
7000 square foot former hospital Emergency
Department with 14 rooms
2700 sq ft of classroom

• Parking lot and ambulance entrance for disaster
  simulation, DMAT trailers and tents

At 23,700 sq. ft, , CSESaR is currently the
largest non-military medical simulation training
facility in the U.S.
