Lifelike simulators bring a new level of realism to learning. However, for simulation training to be immersive, high-fidelity devices are also required.

The effectiveness of simulation training is directly related to the standard and guidelines with which it is undertaken. The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) has developed best practices for any healthcare simulation to thrive.

Startling health disparities in the U.S. have led many organizations to review how they prepare healthcare providers to meet the needs of diverse patients. Laerdal reveals new solutions that can help clients train for patients from different backgrounds using one simulator.

To train healthcare providers in rural community hospitals across South and Central Texas, the team at the University Hospital in San Antonio started a simulation outreach program. The Perinatal Outreach Program was developed to improve the quality and standardization of care, to practice skills in management of shoulder dystocia, PPH and pre-eclampsia, and to improve teamwork and communication.

The American Heart Association and Laerdal Medical opened the next chapter in their mission-driven innovation story, announcing a collaborative relationship with Area9 Lyceum, a global leader in learning technology, for the company to deliver a more streamlined, personal and tailored resuscitation learning experience for healthcare providers — RQI® True Adaptive™ learning. The relationship will be coordinated by RQI Partners LLC, a partnership between and service provider for the Association and Laerdal.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and RQI Partners LLC announced today they will collaborate to create new educational programs for neonatal resuscitation in U.S. hospitals.

Simulation training can enable healthcare providers to accurately diagnose and treat sepsis. Using simulation scenarios to learn to identify standard and severe sepsis, to recognize sepsis in high-risk patients, to differentiate between sepsis and other conditions, and to assess and treat septic shock are among some of the learning objectives for simulation training.
