VitalSim® Workshop VitalSim® Manikins such as Nursing Anne and MegaCode Kelly provide a solid platform for simulation-based

training. Coupling these manikins with pre-programmed scenarios, simulations are more efficient and repeatable,

allowing instructors to direct focus onto the learning.

The VitalSim Pre-Conference Workshop provides three hours of interactive training, which includes scenario

planning and writing as well as time running the scenario. Participants will explore pre-programmed scenarios.

10:45am - 12:00pm Utilizing Blended Learning to Improve Efficiencies Implementing blended learning can reduce costs, enable training of more people in less time and contributetothestandardizationofeducationdeliveredacrossteamsanddepartments.Byutilizing combinations of various education methods such as self-directed cognitive learning with psychomotor hands-on simulation, blended learning can create high-level efficiencies in educational delivery. 1:00pm - 2:45pm Exercises in Blended LearningCombining self-directed cognitive skill development with simulation practice works to improve retention while developing strong team-based communication. In this hands-on session, participants will complete an e-simulation megacode scenario in an electronic environment. Following the e-simulation, participants will work as a team to run a hands-on simulation of the same scenario.

1:00pm - 2:45pm Top Tips, Tricks and Media for Advanced UsersNot a beginner’s course. Pick up best practices, tricks and time-saving ideas with other Super Users in a facilitated round table to exchange best practices.

10:45am - 12:00pm Using Data to Help Prove a Return on Investment Collecting data through simulation experiences is something we don’t often consider. To understand how simulation can be impactful directly correlates with keeping track of human processes, human behavior and trends. Through data collection, subjective and objective feedback we can provide that information to not only funders but also the public. Understanding a Return on Investment (ROI) goes a long way when justify-ing the need for additional funding. 1:00pm - 2:45pm Research and Grant Writing 101Key funding opportunities lie in one’s ability to work through research that will not only impact a change in human behavior but also improve healthcare. While research may seem intimidating, with some guidance and a basic understanding in methodology one can easily work through a simple research project. Learn the benefits, challenges and processes involved in successfully completing a grant application and a research project. Not only will you learn the tricks, you will also gain a better understanding of how to explain what you hope to accomplish.

Simulation in HospitalsA group of highly skilled healthcare providers only become a highly functioning team with improved communication and team-based training. Learn how team training methodologies can be used to improve patient safety and reduce risk in hospitals.

PediatricsChildrenarenotlittleadults!Pediatricsisadisciplinethatrequiresspecializedtrainingforproviders.Whencreating a pediatric educational program, simulation affords learners the opportunity to work with acutely ill patients with no risk to the patient. Learn about trends, issues and best practices in pediatric simulation. Work hands-on with pediatric simulators to run pre-programmed scenarios. Then find out how to put all the pieces into place to improve patient care for your pediatric patients.

Day Two Agenda Day Two

Improving Perinatal SafetyIn an average week in the United States, over 82,000 babies are born. That’s approximately 4.3 million per year. The need for training is enormous. All segments of the medical field need to be prepared to handle a delivery. Whether in the Labor and Delivery department where deliveries occur several times a day or an Emergency Department that only sees a delivery occasionally, the need for individual and team training is vital. The ultimate goal of training is to improve clinical outcomes and improve patient safety.
