Our integrated learning services are designed to empower healthcare organizations by combining Instructional Design, Clinical Simulation, Live Events, and On Demand Learning.
As we present to enterprises that want to achieve high-reliability in high-risk environments, we recommend a blended learning solution. Driven by a client’s business outcomes and needs, we design their training regime, combining simulation training in real settings, online content, as well as dynamic content in the shape of VIDEO GAMES and/or simulations. As I [...]
This is going to be a knock-down, drag-out fight. In one corner, we have formal education, experienced, buffed, battle hardened. In the other corner we have social learning, agile, feisty, chanting “fight like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” However, before we take sides, place our bets, let’s take a look at the contenders and [...]
With regard to preventable medical errors, medical tube mix-ups are a reality the can be solved with training and improved product design. While improved product design is hampered by federal approvals and international standards adoption, online and simulation training in [virtual] environments using 3D devices and mannequins remains a cost-effective and time sensitive solution. “This [...]
As you read about the changing dynamics of the Internet, consider the possibilities for training. How can we leverage these changes to the advantage of learners? Is formal learning becoming less important? Life in the media and communications terrarium, it seems, is getting increasingly perilous. The predictions of demise are piling up. Phone calls, e-mail, [...]
Sully noted that, remarkably, young children could make the play situation and reality coincide. He described a case where two sisters, aged five and seven, said to each other, ‘Let’s play sisters.’ They were playing reality. Our simulation scenarios are so successful because roleplaying is really a high-end learning exercise dressed up as an entertainment [...]
I ran across this article from PC Week’s Contributing Editor, Dan Tynan. Here are few new technologies that have changed the way we interact with the world. As new technologies offer new ways of doing old things, we have to take into account the implications for training.
How do we create a great experience for patients in hospitals? In the ever-evolving world of healthcare, it can be extremely difficult to keep up with the changing demands. The best solution today will not be the best solution tomorrow. Most hospitals are not designed to adapt to changes in technologies and practices. They must [...]
One of our clients is Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department. So it is only natural for us to keep an eye out for how new technologies will shape how cities train tomorrow’s crime fighters.
Boot Camp isn’t only about physical exercise. For 28 ENT residents this July, Boot Camp was all about the mental and physical challenges of sharpening psychomotor skills for ENT Emergencies.
Dear Medical Simulation Advocates: We are writing today to ask for your help in advancing medical simulation in the U.S. Senate! AIMS is working on a legislative initiative for which we need help from the entire medical simulation community. As you well know, AIMS is working to advance the medical simulation legislation (S.616/H.R. 855) forward [...]
Our blog focuses on myriad topics that relate to the evolving training and education industries. These topics include training in high-risk environments, career development and powerful technologies: games, simulations, social media, learning and collaboration. We also showcase streaming videos about authors, entrepreneurs, researchers, and speakers. If you think you have a relevant contribution, we would be delighted to hear from you.
