The SimServeRx Advanced Bedside Smart Cart ESS provides a comprehensive solution for realistic simulation in any setting. It is a mobile automated medication administration system that was designed specifically for healthcare education. Instructors can simulate the entire medication administration process right in the classroom or at the patient’s bedside in a SimLab.

Healthcare providers are constantly challenged to ensure that each patient receives the correct treatments and medications. QR and 2D Barcode scanning is now used routinely to confirm that practitioners are administering treatments to the correct patient. It is also used in other applications to make healthcare more accurate and prevent dangerous medical errors. In this blog, we will go more in depth with this technology and how it is used to promote patient safety.

It is a common misconception among beginning nursing students that every medication listed for patient’s is safe to administer. What they don’t realize is that patient condition’s can change or mistakes can happen during order entry. Nurses must use their critical thinking skills during each step of medication administration to protect patients from dangerous side effects, drug interactions and contraindications. In this article, we will look at how instructors can add embedded errors into simulations to help prevent students from making medication errors in clinical practice.

The SimServeRx Supply Cabinet provides a comprehensive solution for realistic simulation in any setting. It is a mobile automated dispensing system that was designed specifically for healthcare education. Instructors can simulate the entire medication administration process right in the classroom or at the patient’s bedside in a SimLab. In today’s episode our nurse educator, Sally O’Meara, will explain the features included in the SimServeRx Supply Cabinet and how it can be used in a variety of patient care scenarios.  At DiaMedical USA our mission is simple: improve the quality of healthcare by providing innovative tools like our Tuesday Teachings series to help educate the next generation of medical professionals.

Automated Medication Dispensing Systems have recently become essential fixtures in hospitals. They are used to prevent medication errors, streamline inventory management, and reduce diversion of controlled substances. They are also complex systems that require hands-on training before use with patients in clinical settings. SimServeRx Dispensing Carts and Cabinets were designed for this very purpose. In this blog, we will look at how the SimServeRx system is used to teach pharmacy and nursing students how to use automated medication dispensing systems.

At-home COVID tests are a useful tool as the world braces for the latest surge in cases. They sacrifice some accuracy for speedy results, but they can help people make decisions about when to isolate themselves. At-home testing is used with social distancing, masks and hand-washing to control the spread of COVID infection. In this blog, we will look at when at-home COVID tests should be performed, how they differ from PCR tests, and what the results mean.

There’s nothing worse than having students ready to learn about IV therapy and the infusion pump doesn’t work. Malfunctioning equipment is costly in terms of both money and time. Thankfully, regular cleaning and maintenance can help keep this from happening to you! In this blog, we will look at common infusion pump problems and how to create a maintenance plan to keep them from occurring.

Finding solutions to prevent infusion therapy errors represents a pressing patient safety priority. Educators have routinely used infusion pumps with simulated IV fluids to teach students best practices for medication administration. In this blog, we will look at how simulation can be used to help students identify potential medication errors prior to administration.

In this episode of Tuesday Teaching’s our nurse educator, Sally O’Meara, provides tips that improve simulation experience and engagement.

While smart infusion pumps have greatly improved patient safety, IV therapy is still associated with a high frequency of adverse effects. Medication errors are more likely to occur when nurses are inexperienced or unfamiliar with smart pump safety features. Hands-on training is the best way for students to learn how to safely use the Guardrails software in clinical settings. In this blog, we will go more in depth with the DiaMedical USA Educational Drug Library.

Without a doubt, hands-on training is the best way for students to learn how to manage IV therapy. Students need to practice programming infusion rates and dosages into the same pumps that they will be using in clinical settings. This is especially important for modern infusion pumps that have advanced software and integrated drug libraries. In this blog post, we will look at several types of infusion pumps that can help students learn how to safely administer IV fluids and medications.

The COVID-19 crisis has greatly increased the need for healthcare professionals who can manage mechanical ventilation. Utilizing ventilator simulation is a great way to prepare students in pre-hospital, med-surg and long-term care courses. This blog post will explore how educators can use ventilators, tablet-based simulators and manikins to teach these important skills.

Approximately 25 million Americans have asthma. This is a condition that causes periods of wheezing and shortness of breath and life-threatening exacerbations. Nursing and respiratory therapy students need to learn how to assess patients with asthma and administer appropriate bronchodilator therapy. In this blog, we will look at how instructors can use the SimLabSolutions Asthma Management Training Bundle student asthma training.

The SimVS Hospital Virtual Simulation System provides a comprehensive solution for realistic simulation in any setting. SimVS is focused on providing effective portable monitoring solutions for all specialties and can be used with standardized patients, manikins, or full body simulators.
