Optimizing your investment

The challenges

Research studies have shown that simulators and manikins are often underutilized. The two main reasons are equipment downtime and lack of trained staff.

Equipment downtime is a result of non-operational or poorly functioning equipment. This causes disruptions to productivity and ultimately, learner outcomes.

Availability of trained staff can mean the difference between a successful and unsuccessful simulation program. Those who are capable of both operating equipment as well as running simulations to meet the education objectives of the curriculum are often a scarce resource.

Whether due to equipment downtime, untrained staff, or both, the underuse of simulators represents a poor return on investment.

Achieving success

To realize the full potential of a simulation program, equipment must be operational at all times and staff must know how to operate it. It is also critical that staff learns how to integrate simulation into their curriculum and training programs.

Achieving the greatest value from your investment is two-fold. Keeping simulators operational allows for more training time per staff/student. Staff that is trained to effectively implement educational objectives is the most valuable return on investment of all – resulting in improved learner outcomes and, most importantly, more lives saved.

The benefits of simulation services

1. Improve productivity

Productivity can be defined as doing the right things in the right way. Once you ensure your equipment and staff are operating effectively, you will be able to improve the productivity of your simulation training.

2. Increase Utilization

Teaching your faculty and students to use simulators to the full potential is essential. Having competent staff to implement your training programs can be facilitated by systematic learning strategies such as the Circle of Learning and Peer-to-Peer simulation training.
