Free Simulation Training Available to CAHs

Through a generous grant from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, the Work, Education and Lifelong Learning Simulation (WELLS) Center is pleased to offer 4 hours of free simulation training to Colorado’s rural critical access hospitals. The grant includes:

• 4 hours Onsite Introduction to Simulation, Facilitation and Debriefing- Prepares facilitators on effective use of simulation and reflective thinking in debriefing
• Scenario Development
• 4 Hours Onsite Simulation Training including: Simulation Clinical Coordinator and Simulation Technical Coordinator, 1 mannequin and associated simulation equipment

 

Your hospital will only need to provide:

•  Simulation training Facilitation and Debrief
•  Facility Set Up – Equipment/Supply needs will be determined during scenario development process
•  Staff preparation for simulation training: communicate expectations, goals, etc.

This is a unique opportunity to provide a dynamic training experience for your staff. In addition to training for individual disciplines, think about using simulation for inter-professional simulation training and process/systems review such as the implementation of a rapid response team or new patient safety policies and procedures. Please contact Heidi Miller, Business Specialist, at 720-848-5444 or via email at heidi.miller@uch.edu to schedule your training or if you need more information. Please click here for a listing of services and scenarios as a reference. WELLS Center will work with the educators to customize the scenarios for each facility.
