VisionVisionVi The Simulation program: Will be recognized nationally for its positive impact and integration in quality and safety, patient care and the clinical environment Will be a national leader in research and implementation of emerging safety concepts Will be a national leader in healthcare education, especially inter-professional education
Simulation Decreases onboarding time and increases nursing retention rates Decreases Serious Safety Events Improves Safety Attitudes Questionnaire scores Identifies Latent safety threats Is recommended by the ACGME CLER Report, Joint Commission, Required for USNWR Best Hospitals Survey OUR SIMULATION STRUCTURE IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS OF OUR HOSPITAL.
Current State Smallest top 10 Children s Hospital Simulation program Next smallest program has more than double our square footage Comparable hospitals have simulation budgets up to 3.2 million Currently: 1.15 Physician paid through medicine 1.6 RN and 1 simulator technician paid through nursing\ 1.0 RN in Special Purpose Fund (SPF) $828,345 being paid in salaries /fringe Simulation Center and much of equipment has outlived useful life and is in need of replacement Supplemented by CMO ad hoc to ensure continuity of operations
How to achieve the Vision: Increase reach of simulation by focused and intensive training for educators across the organization Increase simulation technicians and administrative support Modernize simulation equipment Enhance and upgrade the simulation program space The simulation program should be a separate entity with dedicated funding and a reporting structure to optimize agility
Proposed State Addition of 1.0 Administrative Assistant and additional 1.0 Simulator technician in FY18 Begin ongoing program to replace capital equipment on rotating basis Emphasis on in situ simulation. Minimal renovations to existing simulation space with need to expand simulation space as Facility Master Plan permits.
Simulation Budget Proposal Current Proposed (FY 18) Ideal Annual Operating - 231,500 283,663 Salaries & Benefits 828,345 937,245 1,312,345 Capital - 100,000 150,000 Renovations - 30,000 - Total 828,345 1,298, 745 1,746, 008 March 22, 2025
