They can train lifelike patient scenarios without putting patients at unnecessary risk. Just like flight-simulators have increased airline safety, abcdeSIM aims to increase patient safety.
AbcdeSIM is a mandatory part of training for residents and medical students at Erasmus University and has already reduced costs while improving skills. The abcdeSIM modules include a learning management system LMS where the student and teacher can track progress and scores. The abcdeSIM website includes a high-score server where the top 10 scores are placed.
AbcdeSIM has received very enthusiastic reviews from users and experts in- and outside the field of emergency medicine. The jury was highly impressed by;.
AbcdeSIM won the Accenture Innovation award in the section Health after a competition between innovative health ventures. There are many considerations when deciding on which training methods to use for Emergency Medicine education. This paragraph will provide some of the educational advantages of serious gaming in emergency medicine and abcdeSIM in particular. For the optimal training efficacy it is essential that the students feel the stress and time pressure that is an important part of real-life patient care.
Serious gaming technology not only gives us the tools to create such an immersive environment, it also allows us to train various clinical situations in a relatively short period of time. To ensure the highest quality learning experience, skilled clinicians at Erasmus University Medical Center and other institutions worked together with serious game developers at abcdeSIM and Dutch software developer IJsfontein.
To allow students to take on the roles of doctors and nurses a number of key elements in the simulated emergency department must be extremely lifelike.
Panels of experienced clinicians, end-users and educationalists worked together to this end with game developers in order to obtain the feeling of immersion for minimal costs. The physiological model that sits at the core of abcdeSIM allows for a very flexible platform on which an endless variety of clinical scenarios, also outside the emergency room, can be played out. Additionally the graphics of abcdeSIM can be adjusted to correspond with local medication names and dosages, as well as medical equipment if needed.
Using gaming technology students can learn specific skills online prior to the training course. Students are therefore better prepared and the existing training time can be used to teach additional skills. Furthermore, acquired skills can be better maintained by the ability to continuously train online, even months or years after the training course.
Doctors and nurses are naturally competitive individuals. The serious game element in abcdeSIM makes it fun to learn and gain skills. Game competitions with doctors and nurses at 4 national healthcare conferences in The Netherlands showed abcdeSIM to be highly engaging.
To aid in creating a realistic and immersive experience the Technical Medicine department at the University of Twente worked with Erasmus University Medical Center to develop a high-fidelity physiological model that is based on years of extensive research.
Unlock access to everything needed to host live multiplayer simulations, customize scenes, or capture 3D recorded demonstrations with Acadicus Pro. All cases are compatible with existing patients, environments, and other assets. The goal of the virtual MCI content is to provide a demo scenario enabling users to triage severely injured patients following a series of explosions.
This pack also includes firefighters, police officers, an ambient soundboard, an ambulance with scene lights and a siren, an interactive triage board, and more. After the COVID shutdown, our students lost the opportunity to meet in person to complete their lab and clinical skills requirements; our state-of-the-art sim labs sat empty and dark.
Students were forced to delay their graduation, and we vowed to find a way to make sure that, should this happen again, we would be prepared. Our students need the ability to hone their hands-on skills no matter the situation.
Virtual Reality became the solution we were looking for. Organizations can sponsor expansions of, or modifications to, simulation content to be included in the next edition of this content pack.
Expert instructors can gain access to complimentary Acadicus Pro Space to capture and share 3D recorded demonstrations that can be accessed by other Acadicus users. Bill is a graduate of St.

What are the privacy and security risks with ED Virtual Visits? Electronic communication, including virtual visits and email, may have some risk. Third parties may take over electronic communication and introduce malware, phishing scams, or other unauthorized access. UHN is not responsible for the security of patients' internet service providers, email domains, personal devices or personal computers.
We suggest that you use your personal email when communicating about your health and not a work email address, as your employer may have the right to inspect your work email. Use a secure internet connection. Other people may be able to use the link to listen in on your appointment without you knowing.
For more information on how to protect yourself against security risks associated with electronic communication, read this article on UHN. You will not be able to record your virtual appointment using Microsoft Teams. If you would like to record your appointment using another device, talk to the doctor to get their permission. Please email ED-VirtualCare uhn. This will help our Emergency Departments and our community by opening up your appointment to another person who may need to speak with a doctor.
Can I book an appointment for a family member? Yes, you can book an appointment for a family member. When you are filling out the booking form, you can provide your own name as the contact, and your family member's name and information as the patient. The appointment link will be sent to the email address provided in the intake form. Yes, interpretation services are available.
If you prefer to speak to the care provider in a language other than English we can provide you with an interpreter free of charge. Please call and let the booking agent know that you require an interpreter for your appointment. What do I do if there are no appointments available?
