Patient Safety
How Does the Clinical Simulation Center Affect Patient Safety?
The Clinical Simulation Center will enhance teaching-learning strategies by developing and maintaining proficiency in five core areas identified by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). These are delivering patient-centered care, working as part of interdisciplinary teams, practicing evidenced-based care, focusing on quality improvement, and using information technology.
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) also supports enhanced safety and quality of health care by incorporating technology as a fundamental support component of healthcare education programs and practice settings.
Accreditation
The Clinical Simulation Center aspires to be the premier, innovative and student-centered simulation program, with a keen focus on teaching, research and interprofessional education. We strive to prepare competent, compassionate, and professional clinicians to meet the needs of the local and global community. Learn more.
