Clinical judgement is a collective term that includes key skills like effective communication, keen observation, critical thinking, teamwork, collaboration, and knowledge of best practices. It encapsulates the ability of healthcare professionals to assimilate vast amounts of information, interpret nuanced cues, and distill them into informed decisions. It is not merely about following protocols or algorithms […]
UT Southwestern (UTSW) has recently received recognition and national distinction for “patient satisfaction, patient safety, and quality of care” from various reviewing bodies. A crucial element contributing to this success is its Environmental Services (EVS) department. Quality environmental services, in turn, are a direct result of rigorous training. In a move to introduce innovative immersive […]
Healthcare training requires a good deal of hands-on practice to gain experience, build confidence and improve muscle memory. Practicing in realistic environments is essential to get accustomed to real-world situations and simulations prove to be the cornerstone of clinical training. Till not very long ago, training with manikins, standardized patients, and moulage had been the […]
Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice (RCDP) is a training methodology that involves frequent practice of a specific skill or task, followed by feedback and reflection, with the goal of improving performance over time. The approach is characterized by its focus on deliberate practice, immediate feedback, and rapid cycle iteration. What is deliberate practice? To practice is […]
A simulation is created to mimic an existing scenario or a proposed one. When it comes to training and development, simulations are imitations of real-world setups that present realistic environments to learners. The idea is to get learners to practice and perform in close-to-reality environments and build confidence. This is not limited to a workplace […]
What is VR Simulation Training? VR simulation training is designed to provide learners an immersive, distraction-free and experiential learning opportunity. It can comfortably be accepted that effective training in any field can be achieved when these features are perfectly blended and aligned. Scenarios in a virtual environment are created to replicate real-world situations. Learners become […]
It’s immersive, its experiential, it offers a wholesome training environment to help gain experience and boost confidence – yes virtual reality, or VR as we call it, is an emerging and promising technology that can add value to every training session. VR, no doubt, started out with gaming but is now becoming an important player […]
VR simulations have now been widely accepted as an effective means of learning and skill development. Organizations and universities across industries and disciplines are adopting this immersive and engaging method to provide their learners with an efficient means of learning. One such industry is healthcare. The healthcare profession is as much about theoretical knowledge as […]
