SIMnext® Launches Realistic Virtual Experiences to Enhance Learning for Health Care Providers
Orlando, Florida (PRWEB) January 30, 2017 -- SIMnext, LLC will begin offering 3D medical simulation courses as part of its new SIMnext Academy. The announcement was made this week at the 2017 International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare(IMSH), hosted by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare in Orlando, Florida.
The SIMnext Academy will include exclusive distribution of the mySmartHealthcare® course library, developed by mySmartSimulations, Inc.
The Academy joins Health Scholars, the company’s mobile platform for nursing education, which enables nurses working on hospital floors to complete required regulatory, patient safety, and clinical education courses.
OSF HealthCare has deployed the SIMnext learning solution throughout its organization. The Peoria-based system has 115 locations, including 11 hospitals. “The SIMnext reporting infrastructure provides the ability to track users, groups of users, and export data, regardless of where anyone is physically located,” said Lori Wiegand, DNP NEA-BC, Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer for OSF HealthCare.
With an initial focus on nursing education and patient safety, SIMnext Academy is delivering high-quality, simulation-based clinical education and training to its users through online courses and downloadable mobile content. 3D and haptic (touch) technologies provide learners with realistic virtual experiences that enhance understanding and produce muscle memory.
