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.
