INACSL & SSH Start Joint Regional Workshops Spring 2016

MORRISVILLE, N.C. - Feb. 16, 2016 - PRLog -- The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) and the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) are developing content for regional workshops in the USA to provide low-cost learning opportunities for nurses and other health care educators.

The workshops will provide participants with education and discussion on the following topics: INASCL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation℠, the NCSBN Simulation Guidelines for Prelicensure Nursing Programs, Council for Accreditation of Healthcare Simulation Programs Standards, Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE), Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator – Advanced (CHES-A), and Certified Healthcare Simulation Operations Specialist (CHSOS).  The first regional workshops will be scheduled for Spring 2016.

“INACSL is excited about collaborating with SSH to increase the awareness and use of best practices for quality simulation. By improving the experiential learning of simulation participants, simulation educators can positively impact patient outcomes by increasing the quality and safety of health care providers,” said Teresa Gore, PhD, DNP, FNP-BC, NP-C, CHSE-A, INACSL President (2015-2017).

“SSH is pleased to partner with INACSL to advance the cause of healthcare simulation.  We recognize that bringing best practices to institutions across the country will only strengthen the impact of healthcare simulation and its effect on patient safety,” said Chap Epps, MD, SSH President (2016).

If your organization is interested in having an INACSL-SSH led workshop please email inacslinfo@inacsl.org with your request.
