Virtual visit to the Vall d'Hebron Center for Advanced Clinical Simulation Who we are The Vall d'Hebron Centre for Advanced Clinical Simulation is directed by the Executive Committee formed by the Center's Management and Coordination. The organizational structure is divided into: The project management unit, responsible for the coordination and management of the Centre's simulation projects. The operations and technologies management unit, responsible for the planning and management of the center's resources as well as technological renewal, design, and development of new simulators and medical equipment. The Teaching Organization Committee (COS), which provides the necessary teaching advice in all the Center's simulation activities and promotes the creation of simulation groups with health professionals from the different care areas of the hospital with the aim of develop simulation training programs. In addition, the Center has the Technical Commission for Simulation Support (CTSS), which is a multidisciplinary commission with representation from the three centers (General Hospital, Children's and Women's Hospital, and Traumatology, Rehabilitation and Burns Hospital). CTSS members have the qualification, training and experience in simulation. Its general functions are: Develop skills training programs through simulation. Define the quality standards of the simulation activities and ensure their compliance. Assess, support and supervise initiatives in the field of the institution's simulation. Analyze the impact of the simulation intervention on care quality and patient safety. Identify training needs using simulation. Finally, 80 leading simulation ambassadors from the hospital's different healthcare services and more than 150 healthcare professionals trained as simulation instructors at the Vall d'Hebron Hospital are collaborating. 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. Where are we The Centre is located on the 5th floor of the Traumatology, Rehabilitation and Burns Hospital. It currently 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, Room of Virtual Simulators, etc. and a central area called Agora.
