Overview

3

• Program Review (50,000 foot view)

• What is Simulation

• Why use Simulation

• Why we Need Simulation

• Suspend Disbelief – How do we use simulation

• The ASTEC


The 50,000 foot View

4

• Integrate Simulation Technology into Education, Training and Sustainment platforms

• Build a Distributed Human Patient Simulation Network

• Exploit Technological Innovations

• Mitigate loss of Current “Training” pipelines


WHAT IS SIMULATION?

5


What is a Simulator?

6

• A Device or exercise that enables a participant to reproduce or represent…

• A method to teach the application of critical thinking skills, communication and team interactions; Risk Free learning Environment – errors can be allowed to occur


What is a Simulator?

7



What is a Medical Simulator?

8


• Supports clinical decision making – not just a task trainer; Ability to train high-risk, low-frequency clinical events


WHY USE SIMULATION?

9


The Promise


Why Simulation for Training

11

There is a big difference…

…between seeing and understanding…

…between watching and doing…

That’s what makes training and simulation so vital to operational success


How do People Learn

12

Retention

5% - Lecture

20% - Audio/Visual – Death by PowerPoint

30% - Demonstration

75% - Learn by DOING – Simulations

90% Teach Others – Collaborative Simulations

Interaction is associated with Learning achievement and retention of knowledge *Source Andersen Consulting


WHY WE NEED SIMULATION

13


Chasing Zero

• We entered combat operations with an existing stateside AE mission, and AF fixed medical facilities Those training venues no longer exist

• One decade at war…How are we doing?•72 Hours•98%

• Increasing Focus on Patient Safety

14


Level 1 Trauma Center AF Theater Hospital

Multiple procedures/ specialists**

>80% need surgery

>90% penetrating trauma

~8000 admissions/yr

<10% need surgery

<30% penetrating trauma

~4000 admissions/yr

AE Formal Training Unit

• iSTAN is currently used in conjunction with aircraft fuselage trainers to provide “simulated” training missions• Flight Nurse and AeroMed Tech training reduced from 90-

180 days to 30 days• Same or exceeding the level clinical “Care in the Air”

18


Simulation is more than Plastic People

• Virtual Reality/AF-WAVE (Wide Area Virtual Environment)

• Serious Gaming/Computer Based Training

• Virtual Clinics

• Tactile Video and Audience Response - Critical Thinking Excercises

• Virtual Iraq – Treatment for PTSD

Suspend Disbelief

• We must replicate the Environment of Care

23


No matter what the ‘Environment’

24


So how do we ‘Simulate’ that


The ASTEC…

26

…an immersive training environment that includes very realistic clinical scenarios with high-fidelity simulated

patients…

We can simulate onboard emergencies. When you are inside, the sound, the feel, the environment, is absolutely realistic, and we are able to challenge crews with highly complicated

missions that are modeled on actual missions and challenging patients who have returned from combat

environments
