Health Scholars, the Virtual Reality Healthcare Training Platform, Launches First VR ACLS Training Simulation for First Responders

Leave a comment


Scene from First Responder ACLS Virtual Reality Simulation

Health Scholars Virtual Reality training provides EMS agencies of all sizes an additional training modality that easily scales to any number of providers, is at least 50% less than the cost of traditional physical simulation, and provides performance reporting that is actionable.


WESTMINSTER, Colo. (PRWEB)

Health Scholars, known for their virtual reality (VR) simulations and cloud-based simulation management platform utilized for management, delivery, and analysis of clinical training, announces today the availability of the first VR Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training designed specifically for first responders. Made possible with the company’s Public Safety Innovation Accelerator Program User Interface grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Partnership and the State of Colorado’s Advanced Industries Accelerator Program, the company is excited about the possible impact to the industry and the community.

Designed in accordance with American Heart Association guidelines and input from local EMS partners, providers play the role of the team lead running a mega code and are provided thirteen total scenarios that reflect cardiac and non-cardiac arrest scenarios. Using voice direction, providers identify rhythms and direct virtual team members to shock, give meds, and/or perform CPR as necessary. The simulation provides extensive practice on communication, situational awareness, decision-making and competencies such as accurate hospital notification.

“With average adult survival rates of 26% for in-hospital cardiac arrest and up to 11% for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, continuous improvement to cardiac arrest response and training is an obligation to patients,” says Brian Gillett, MD, President of Health Scholars. “ACLS is just the first application within a larger resuscitation suite because we believe that designing scalable, self-directed, and affordable simulation for first responders was an untapped, yet imperative market to develop. They are on the front lines of patient safety and deserve effective, experience-based training and skills assessment.”

By virtualizing training, small or rural EMS organizations are now able to integrate more immersive training practices and VR provides agencies of all sizes an additional training modality that easily scales to any number of providers, is at least 50% less than the cost of traditional physical simulation, and provides performance reporting that is actionable.

“Our goal in working with Health Scholars is to introduce new technology within the EMS market, but more importantly provide an effective solution to make training more accessible and frequent, help EMS staff stay sharp and provide EMT’s an easy way to grow skills,” says Ed Smith, Captain, Clear Creek EMS.

The work involved with development and management of this new training is being performed under the following financial assistance award 70NANB18H149 from U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology. For more information on the grant and development details visit https://hubs.ly/H0cRQmC0

“This grant has provided Health Scholars the ability to advance the use of virtualization in public safety. VR has the power to fundamentally improve the way training products are designed and how training is executed in public safety. The possibilities are endless and with NIST’s program and our EMS partners we have been able to bring the first of many VR training simulations to market.” – Cole Sandau, CEO, Health Scholars

Health Scholars will continue to develop VR Training for healthcare and public safety providers throughout 2020 with input from their partners and customers. Images, demos, and interview available upon request.

About Health Scholars

Our mission is to advance healthcare education through virtualization, making experience-based training scalable, accessible and affordable to both Healthcare and Public Safety providers. Health Scholars is a cloud-based, VR-ready clinical training platform with VR Simulations, Simulation Management, and Clinical Readiness Reporting solutions for the management, delivery and analysis of clinical training. Our VR simulations extend physical simulation beyond the simulation center, enabling repeatable practice of proper workflows as well as critical soft skills like communications, situational awareness and critical thinking.

In a Mount Sinai Study, Elevated Leukemia Incidence Is Found in World Trade Center Rescue and Recovery Workers

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Responders who worked at the World Trade Center site after the attacks on September 11, 2001, have an increased overall cancer incidence compared to the general population, particularly in thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, and, for the first time ever reported, leukemia, according to a Mount Sinai study published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum in January.

Following the attacks on the World Trade Center, 50,000 workers were involved in rescue and recovery, with many of them caught directly in the dust cloud from the collapsing towers. From then until cleanup of the site ended in June 2002, workers were potentially exposed to an array of toxins later shown to cause adverse health effects, including cancer.

This study examined cancer incidence in responders including law enforcement, construction, and telecommunications workers, and found an increased overall cancer incidence, with the greatest elevation in thyroid cancer. It is the first to show an increase in leukemia, which is known to occur after exposure to occupational carcinogens, including benzene fuel and other sources that existed at the World Trade Center site, in some cases at low levels of exposure and with a latency of several years from exposure.

Researchers also found that neither the length of time that first responders and recovery workers worked on the World Trade Center site, nor the intensity of their exposure, had any bearing on the development of the elevated cancers. However, some risk factors—such as responders’ age on September 11, their gender, and whether they were smokers at the time—were associated with increased cancer risk, underlining the need for continued surveillance of World Trade Center rescue and recovery workers.

“This study showed increased incidence of several cancer types compared to previously conducted studies with shorter follow-up periods,” said Susan Teitelbaum, PhD, Professor of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and one of the lead authors. “Because of the long latency period of many types of cancer, it is possible that increased rates of other cancers, as well as World Trade Center exposure health issues, may emerge after longer periods of study.”

Researchers studied post-September 11 cancer incidence among 28,729 rescue and recovery workers via cancer registry data from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, and North Carolina from 2002 through 2013. Although the incidence of certain cancers, such as lung, was not elevated in this study’s findings, researchers believe that may be due to the long time periods over which these cancers develop.

This work was supported by contract 200-2017-93325 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention / National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health.

Lakeside-Milam Recovery Centers Becomes Among First in the Nation to Be ASAM Certified

Leave a comment



KIRKLAND, Wash. (PRWEB)

Lakeside-Milam Recovery Centers is proud to announce it has become among the first in the nation to receive certification from the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM).

The ASAM Level of Care certification, partnering with the CARF International (CARF) accreditation, provides an independent, comprehensive assessment of an addiction treatment program’s capacity to deliver services consistent with Levels of Care described in The ASAM Criteria. This certification, that compliments the CARF accreditation, will help patients and payers identify those treatment centers that are offering comprehensive, evidence-based care to diagnose and treat the disease of addiction.

“We are proud to have the care we provide certified by the American Society of Addiction Medicine. The opportunity to help patients and their families is an honor and requires trust. Since 1983, we have been a leader in the field due to our understanding of the disease and how to combine medical needs, counseling, and education for effective treatment. ASAM certification is another way for those seeking addiction treatment to know that Lakeside-Milam Recovery Centers offers the highest level of quality care,” says Lakeside-Milam’s President and CEO, Carl Kester.

Certification through ASAM provides a much needed distinction in the addiction treatment industry which has long struggled to establish consistent standards nationwide. The ASAM Criteria is considered the nation’s most respected, comprehensive, and widely used set of standards for providing outcome-oriented care. The certification was developed with over three decades of research and will help payers and patients ensure that the treatment center is held to the highest standard of care.

ABOUT LAKESIDE-MILAM RECOVERY CENTERS:

With over 35 years of experience, Lakeside-Milam has served the Pacific Northwest by providing a full continuum of care. Guided by the book, Under the Influence, by Dr. James Milam and Katherine Ketcham, Lakeside-Milam has helped those struggling with substance abuse by providing quality structure, education, and support.
