The Institute of Medicine's (TOM) report, Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century (2002) concluded that the American health delivery system is in need offundamelltal change. Trying harder will flot work-dumging the systems ofmre will. A major aspect of creating such change is re-envisioning the WilYhealth cafe professionals are educated.
Technology and informatics is at the core of a new vision for how health professionals should be educated and how they should practice for the 21st century. In a subsequent 10M report, Health Professional Education: A Bridge to Qua/ity (2003), five core competencies were identified as needed by all health professionals, They include: providing patient- centered care, working in interdisciplinary teams, using evidence-based practice, applying quality improvement in practices and practice environments, and using informatics. Informatics and technology underpins all the other competencies and provides the

A smoothly functioning infrastructure is necessary to support both our traditional activities and our newer virtual ones. Quality technology, appropriately incorporated and properly used, should be invisible to the end user.

"Simulation labs are the golden thread that runs through the curriculum here and students of all levels gain hands-on experience in the labs that serves as a bridge between theory and clinical work," Spunt says, "In the labs, students learn basic skills that can be directly transferred into clinical settings. Also, students have the opportunity to practice skills they feel they need to improve before they apply them in a clinical setting."
The School's 24 labs, representing about 31,393 square feet, contain advanced equipment such as intra aortic balloon pumps, hydrodynamic monitoring devices, and ventilators, much donated by manufacturers who see the value of training nursing students on their equipment. Some of the equipment is purchased by the School through Spent's work as a consultant advising hospitals, schools, and other health institutions across the nation about how to [J(i)l'!1 h'lSJel",-A1S '02, fI.,'\', eel{'\", ,,,,,,..Jill,,lv)' oj tl,,,, Sdrooi vi" ,\;lIrsing:; establish simulation labs, Edward Lifesciences ,.'mllleni"" [,'[mr,'lvri, continued from pg. 6 "Sim Man, the adult critical care mannequin, keeping both the curriculum and the simulation will be a vital part of this lab, allowing students labs current with the latest technological and to gain competent skills in a safe medical advances, Simulation work is often a environment," Spunt says collaboration among clinical faculty, faculty, staff and students, The School also recently hired Dawn Foster, MS '02, RN, CeRN, to serve as coordinator of the "The addition of a 'baby sim' to this lab is vital labs, joining Spunt and her team in directing lab to keeping our students on the cutting edge, use and orchestrating lab time.

Mallott, MD, associate dean for medical education in the School of Medicine - SPs put nursing students, medical students, and other health professionals through their paces as they learn to interact with living, breathing humans who present particular health problems. The students' interactions with SPs are videotaped and they are judged on how well they illicit pertinent information from their patients, how keen their listening skills are, and their overall rapport with the patient. "The last thing you want is for a student to say, 'Okay, great!,' as a response when a patient says, 'I've had this belly pain for a week," says Kathy Schaivone, MPA, manager of the CEEL. "That can happen when students aren't listening the way they should be," she says.

According to Schaivone, this feedback may be the only source of information students receive from patients regarding their communication or clinical skills, Because encounters between SPs are student-, rather than patient-focused, they provide students with a unique opportunity to practice interacting with "patients" in a clinical setting without compromising patient health.
