The William Maul Measey Institute for Clinical Simulation and Patient Safety (ICS) is comprised of two areas--Clinical Simulation and Clinical Skills. By design, each area has specific features. For more detail, view our floor plan (137KB).

 

Clinical Simulation

 

Simulation Rooms 354A and 354B:

 

The patient simulation rooms have been designed to mimic a patient hospital room. Rooms 354A and 354B share a connecting doorway and each room contains the following:

  • Functional hospital bed with patient simulator and monitor
  • Head wall with simulated oxygen, medical air and suction
  • Sink for hand washing
  • Wall-mounted hand sanitizer and sharps disposal
  • Adjacent control room for remote live viewing
  • Ceiling mounted PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) cameras for recording (2)
  • Dry erase board, 46" x 70"
  • Telephone

Simulation Rooms 356A and 356B:

 

Room 356A is set-up as an Emergency Room bay. Room 356B is outfitted as an Operating Room. The rooms are divided by a moveable wall that can be opened to allow the expansion of the rooms. The configuration of these rooms may be modified based on program needs.

 

Room 356A - Emergency Room:

  • Hospital gurney with patient simulator and monitor
  • Head wall with simulated oxygen, medical air and suction
  • Surgical scrub sink for hand washing
  • Wall-mounted hand sanitizer and sharps disposal
  • Adjacent control room for remove live viewing
  • Ceiling mounted PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) cameras for recording (2)
  • Dry erase board, 46" x 70"
  • Telephone

Room 356B - Operating Room:

  • OR patient table
  • OR lights
  • OR Mayo stands and instruments
  • Head wall with simulated oxygen, medical air and suction
  • Surgical scrub sink for hand washing
  • Wall-mounted hand sanitizer and sharps disposal
  • Adjacent control room for remote live viewing
  • Ceiling mounted PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) cameras for recording (2)
  • Dry erase board, 46" x 70"
  • Telephone

Multipurpose Room 357:

 

This multipurpose room contains a Nursing Station module, an FLS training area, a refrigerator and freezer for storage of simulation materials, and space for storage of supplies. There is also a large sink for cleaning of equipment and instruments.

 

Nursing Station Module:

  • Desk area with computer and phone
  • Med cart, ancillary equipment and supplies for simulation
  • Ceiling mounted PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) cameras for recording (1)

FLS Training Area:

  • FLS stations set up for practice and testing purposes (3)

Skills Classroom 358:

  • Accommodates approximately 30 learners
  • Tables and chairs can be moved to accommodate program specifications
  • Room configuration is easily changed to host multiple task trainers
  • Overhead projector with drop down screen
  • Head wall with simulated oxygen, medical air and suction (2)
  • Surgical scrub sink for hand washing
  • Dry erase board (2), 46" x 94"
  • Telephone

Conference/Debriefing Room 369:

  • Large oval table seats 12, extra chairs around perimeter of room will increase class size to 25
  • DAVS Viewer software installed on the computer allows live viewing of scenarios in this room
  • Computer with wall-mounted flat screen monitor, 31" x 55"
  • Dry erase board, 46" x 142"
  • Telephone
  • Please note: This is the only area within the institute where cold food/beverages may be consumed

 

Clinical Skills

 

10 examination rooms (approximately 100 sq. ft.), each room equipped with:

  • Examination table; head can be raised to 90 degrees, foot extension, lower step extension, heated gynecological examination stirrups, disposable paper roll holder
  • Wall-mounted optical instruments: otoscope and direct ophthalmoscope, variable intensity
  • Wall-mounted sphygmomanometer fitted with standard adult size cuffs
  • All rooms supplied with hand-held instruments: reflex hammer, tuning fork, tongue depressors, cotton-tipped sticks
  • Desk area for note taking
  • Dry erase board, 37" x 46"
  • One-way viewing window
  • Outside each room in common hallway is a wall-mounted fold-down desk surface for patient chart writing

2 procedure rooms (approximately 250 sq. ft.), each room equipped with:

  • Compressed air outlet for operation of patient simulator
  • Sink for hand washing
  • Wall-mounted hand sanitizer and sharps disposal
  • Desk area for note taking
  • Cupboards and counter top
  • Dry erase board, 37" x 46"
  • One-way viewing window
  • Outside each room in common hallway is a wall-mounted fold-down desk surface for patient chart writing

All rooms equipped with video camera with remote control pan/tilt/zoom capabilities, and microphone. Sound feeds to outside headphone jacks for use with on-site viewing through one-way windows. Sound and video feed to digital A/V recording system with on-line viewing by faculty and students.

 

 

Features for Teaching and Assessment

  • The Center has an additional inner corridor adjacent to the 10 examination rooms and 2 procedure rooms. Each of the rooms has access to this corridor by a separate door. The inner corridor allows separate, unviewed movement of faculty, SPs, and staff, and viewing of events in the rooms by means of one-way windows. Windows are equipped with adjustable Venetian blinds on the inside that allow undetected viewing or privacy as needed.
  • Each examination and procedure room has a microphone and 3 headphone jacks for audio monitoring of the rooms
  • All rooms are equipped with one pan/tilt/zoom video camera with digital recording capabilities
  • Central control station for operation of audiovisual equipment
  • Data collection is done via hand-held PDAs and then uploaded to a laptop

 

Additional Rooms

 

The Institute includes office space for faculty and staff, a reception area and two rest rooms for participant use.
