About the Intermountain Simulation Consortium
Simulation at Intermountain Health began in 2006 at Primary Children's Hospital with the creation of an on-site Simulation Lab. That same year, the Women and Newborns Clinical Program incorporated Simulation for Neonatal Resuscitation training. More recently, standardized scenarios were incorporated into all Nurse Residency Programs reviewing concepts such as hypoglycemia, the first five minutes of a code, and blood administration. The Intermountain Simulation Consortium was accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare in 2017.
Supporting Intermountain Health’s mission for system-wide excellence in patient care and employee education, the Intermountain Simulation Consortium directs all simulation activities and is committed to leading and implementing Simulation best practice. This course has been approved as required training for any Intermountain Health employee facilitating Simulation at any Intermountain Health facility, including any education that is being videotaped and debriefed.
The course is available to anyone inside and outside of Intermountain Health who desires to learn more about how simulation is becoming a paradigm shift in healthcare.
