Benchmark centre Vall d’Hebron Advanced Clinical Simulation Centre The Vall d’Hebron Advanced Clinical Simulation Centre is integrated into Vall d'Hebron University Hospital and provides a cross-departmental service for the institution. It is one of the pillars of the Hospital Teaching Department. The centre’s mission is to make Vall d’Hebron a benchmark hospital in the use of simulation in training programmes as a model of teaching efficiency. To achieve this, the Vall d’Hebron Advanced Clinical Simulation Centre works to ensure that healthcare, teaching, research and innovation activities related to simulation have a direct impact on improving the quality of healthcare and patient safety, while strengthening innovative, simulation-related teaching methodology. Map centre INNOVATION Know all the aspects of the simulation in Vall d'Hebron We pay attention in different formats to the Vall d'Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus. See all options, and you can also find out how is the Center for Advanced Clinical Simulation. Programs Virtual Simulation How we work and where we are ABOUT THE CENTRE Agora The Agora is the meeting point at the heart of the Centre and the physical representation of the basic principle of the simulation. It helps create a comfortable, safe and reliable environment. ABOUT THE CENTRE Emergency Room The Emergency Room is fitted with screens for monitoring patients and viewing tests. It also has a crash cart with a defibrillator, bag mask valve and all the other materials in a standard emergency room. It also has a medical gas outlet. ABOUT THE CENTRE Intensive Care Room The Intensive Care Room is equipped with screens for advanced patient monitoring and viewing tests, equipment for invasive and non-invasive oxygen therapy, Doppler ultrasound, IV infusion pumps, defibrillator, ICU beds and all the other material required in a standard ICU. It also has a medical gas outlet. ABOUT THE CENTRE Operating Theatre The Operating Theatre has a 2-arm surgical light, a surgical supply column with monitor, an anaesthesia column with two monitors and an operating table. The screens are used to monitor the patient, cardiotocography readings and test results. ABOUT THE CENTRE Outpatient Consultation Room The Outpatient Consultation Room is designed to provide training in outpatient visit situations. It has all the materials needed for outpatient care. Its versatility means the space can be adapted to also simulate a domestic room. ABOUT THE CENTRE Multipurpose Rooms The Multipurpose Rooms in the functional area can be converted into a wide variety of simulation scenarios. They have an audiovisual system, washbasins, separators and large range of materials for recreating specific situations. ABOUT THE CENTRE Debriefing Rooms The Debriefing Rooms permit observation of the simulation rooms through a one-way mirror. Video recordings of the scenario can be viewed once complete. ABOUT THE CENTRE Control Rooms The simulation scenario can be watched from the control rooms. These are equipped with computers that control the robot simulators and the audiovisual systems. They also permit communication with the simulation room. We enhance innovative educational methodologies Simulation training Simulations for building non-technical skills, such as leadership, teamwork, communication, decision-making and situational awareness. Simulations for building technical skills. Gamification, online learning (e-learning), serious game, virtual reality. Tailoring of scenarios. Project advice Facilitation of the design of training activities in simulation. Promotion of research and development of new simulators and equipment. Fostering of new learning skills based on innovative teaching methods. Co-creation Development of new healthcare techniques through the creation of a safe and realistic spaces. Public-private collaboration with companies through co-creation and performance, usability, and user experience assessments. External training Training of healthcare professionals in both basic and highly specialised procedures, using clinical simulation programmes that harness new methods and technology. Accessing the Vall d’Hebron Classroom. Know our activity RESIDENT TRAINING SIM-RADAR, the simulation curriculum for residents The simulation in Vall d'Hebron is a fundamental training tool for residents. For this reason, it is integrated into many of the training programs and is part of a continuous updating and improvement process. Discover it ACTIVITIES EIT Health 2022 We participate in the EITHealth PsyHealthWorXs project, a training project for the prevention of psychosocial risk in the workplace coordinated by the RWTH University, Aachen Hospital. Experts from the Center participate in the architecture and design. More information ACTIVITIES Lapsim session Dr. Cristina Dopazo, deputy of the Surgery Service of the Area of Hepatobiliopancreatic Surgery and Liver Transplantation, explains the main points of the Lapsim training program as well as the results achieved. View session How do we work? The Technical Commission for Simulation Support (CTSS) is a multidisciplinary commission with representatives from all three hospitals (the General Hospital, the Children's and Women's Hospital and the Traumatology, Rehabilitation and Burns Hospital), and it has the following aims: To develop simulation-based skills-training programmes. To define quality standards for simulation activities and ensure they are complied with. To evaluate and supervise simulation-related initiatives, as well as provide support for them. To analyse the impact of simulated actions on healthcare quality and patient safety. We currently have a total of 80 simulation leaders from the hospital’s various healthcare areas, who are ambassadors for the use of simulations. In addition, we have 100 professionals who are trained as instructors for the provision of simulation-based training at Vall d’Hebron Hospital. Who is it aimed at? Oriented to the continuous training of health professionals and integrated into the training itinerary of residents. Where are we? The center is located on the 5th floor of the Traumatology, Rehabilitation and Burns Hospital. At present, the center has an area of 1,400 m2 distributed between the Multifunctional Area, which has multipurpose spaces, the High Complexity Area with specific spaces such as Operating Room, ICU Box, Emergency Box, External Consultation, Surgical Skills Room, Virtual Simulator Room, etc., and a central area called Agora. How to get Simulation Week From April 25 to 29, 2022, Simulation Week was held in Vall d’Hebron for the first time. Watch the videos of the symposiums and the round tables.
