Simulation Debrief by CAE Healthcare

Amar Patel catches up with four physicians who invented a portable negative pressure contagion tent to protect healthcare providers as they perform aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs), such as intubation, on COVID-19 patients. Doctors Jared Staab, Jay Nachtigal and Tim Krause from University of Kansas Health System Medical and Dr. Brent Barta of Bryan Health in Lincoln, Nebraska are awaiting FDA Emergency Use Authorization for a device they believe could be used worldwide.

Watch a short video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFztxoAB2W4&t=4s) to see how the tent will protect healthcare providers.

Dr. Christine Park, Anesthesiologist and Director of the Simulation And Integrative Learning Institute (SAIL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Medicine, speaks with Amar Patel about Standardized Patient training and safety considerations during the pandemic, when it makes sense to simulate a patient death, and how to facilitate those difficult conversations.

Having returned from his summer travels, Amar Patel reflects on his family, schooling during the pandemic, on his move to Florida from North Carolina, his journey from EMS and Fire Services to academia, from a healthcare system to industry, and what he is most proud of within his simulation and healthcare communities.

This week, Amar Patel speaks to two simulation educators who were faced with quickly training nurses, residents, medical students, and other healthcare professionals to care for COVID-19 patients without the benefit of in-person simulation center resources. Atrium Health’s Dawn Swiderski, MSN, RN, CCRN-K, CHSE, FSSH and Jennifer Noble, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BC, CEN, CHSE of Carolinas Simulation Center share their methods and lessons learned.Jennifer Noblehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-noble-983438100/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-noble-983438100/)Dawn Swiderskihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dawn-swiderski-71aa9364/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawn-swiderski-71aa9364/)

Amar Patel speaks to Jennifer McCarthy, a leading paramedic and EMS educator, about mindfulness in EMS practice, overcoming hidden bias in teaching and scripting scenarios, and the importance of breaking bread to promote cultural understanding.

Jennifer is also Director of Clinical Simulation at Seton Hall University and Founder and President of 579 Solutions. Learn more about 579 Solutions at www.579solutions.com

In each educational encounter, the culture of the individual, instructor, group, institution and the patient scenario all play a role.

In this podcast, Amar Patel reconnects with Janice Palaganas, PhD, RN, NP, ANEF, FNAP, FAAN, FSSH, who completed a study on cultural considerations in debriefing with Drs. Kim Leighton and Albert Chan and shares some of their initial findings. She is Chief Executive Officer of The Institute for Interprofessional Innovations, Associate Director of Healthcare Professions Education at the MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, where they have launched the first PhD in Health Professions Education with a focus on Simulation and another in Interprofessional Education. She also is Principal Faculty at the Center for Medical Simulation and faculty for Harvard Medical School.

2020 is the WHO Year of the Nurse, and nurses have never been more vital or more appreciated. In this interview, Amar Patel speaks to Cynthia Foronda, PhD, RN, CNE, CHSE, ANEF, President of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) and Robert Armstrong, President of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) about their new virtual learning collaboration.

How did a simulation company focused on training pivot to designing, building and shipping more than 10,000 patient ventilators to save lives during the COVID-19 pandemic? This week, Amar Patel interviews CAE Healthcare Engineering Director Erick Fortin and Project Manager Mona Safadi to gain an inside perspective on the journey.
