4 Hours of Free Simulation Training Available to Colorado CAHs

A new initiative from the University of Colorado Hospital and Colorado Division of Labor and Employment provides customized, no-cost medical training to Colorado’s CAHs using highly sophisticated simulation training and technology from the WELLS Center. The WELLS Center provides education and training for health care workers using life-sized mannequins, known as human patient simulators. The center has the ability to recreate real-life situations to improve outcomes and hospital safety. The WELLS Center will provide four hours of training at no-cost to workers in CAHs to prepare for low-volume, high-risk events. The center can provide training at its facility on the Anschutz Medical Campus or on-site training focusing on interaction and communication at the hospital as well as that particular hospital’s processes and systems.
