Welcome
Today’s health care environment is rapidly changing and increasingly complex, requiring the incorporation of advanced technology to guide patient care. One of the key components in this exciting new era is simulation. Using life-like computerized mannequins to replicate the complex patient environment of the clinical setting, students and healthcare workers can experience specially designed scenarios to practice important skills needed to provide safe, quality care to patients. The new Regional Research and Innovation in Simulation Education (RISE) Center at Robert Morris University is a 2000-square-foot facility that will serve as a major regional educational resource and a center of excellence for simulation training and research. The center’s internationally recognized faculty and specially trained simulation specialists and technicians work side by side with health care organizations around the region, creatively broadening the educational experience of health sciences students by maximizing their learning opportunities. The RISE Center features two high-fidelity treatment rooms, one critical-care room, two classrooms/debriefing areas, one low-fidelity nursing skills practice lab, and multiple office areas. State-of-the-art audio/visual equipment (AV) allows for debriefing using recordings and live AV feeds remotely, all of which provide the opportunity to share the benefits of simulation with larger audiences. The center also features a family of high-fidelity mannequins including three adult simulation mannequins, a birthing simulator with newborn, an infant (6-month-old) mannequin, and a pediatric (5-year-old) mannequin. The Center’s information management system also assists with scheduling, monitoring of usage, and provides a database to assist with measuring outcomes. We are located in the John Jay Building located in the Robert Morris University Moon Township Campus, just 10 minutes from Pittsburgh International Airport. IMPORTANT LINKS
