What We Do
Education Program Human Patient Simulation Systems and Teaching Modalities integration Development
The KCS Health Sciences Consulting team has extensive experience in the development and integration of human patient-based simulation systems and modalities into health sciences education programs, including nursing programs, EMT programs, MD programs, and surgical training simulation centers. These simulation-based teaching tools are highly effective for training both students and experienced clinicians, especially in enhancing clinical placements.
Program and Teaching modality Development
The KCS Health Sciences Consulting team brings over 100 years of combined experience in developing comprehensive health sciences education programs and effective teaching and learning modalities. We can assist with the creation of new curriculum or the updating of existing ones. One of our specialties is enhancing your pedagogy with simulation-based teaching and the appropriate use of technology, including the integration of clinical placements.
Customized Human Patient Simulation Technician Training
KCS offers a customized training solution tailored for novice sim techs and those looking to upskill existing staff, ensuring that our program aligns with the needs of health sciences education. Our comprehensive training includes:
- Medical terminology
- Network terminology
- Simulation modalities and education
- Principles of network/AV communication
- Troubleshooting manikins, network, and common medical devices
- Manikin and sim technology maintenance
- Scenario programming for both LLeap and Maestro
Additionally, KCS can customize sim tech training to specifically support clinical placements, enhancing the practical application of simulation-based teaching in real-world settings.
Space and Facilities Development
KCS has extensive experience in guiding the development of capital projects from beginning to completion, including everything from the creation of new health sciences education centers to facility upgrades or simple enhancements to patient simulation systems. These health sciences education facilities have very specific design requirements, such as space layouts, access considerations, HVAC systems, building networks, and technology systems, which can often pose challenges for capital project design and management teams. KCS possesses the expertise necessary to navigate this process on your behalf, ensuring that clinical placements and simulation-based teaching environments are optimized while avoiding costly design or construction errors.
Learning Management Systems Development & implementation
Integrated Learning Management Systems have become an integral part of effectively and efficiently running health sciences education programs. Well-designed and implemented LMS are fundamentally important for managing clinical placements and enhancing simulation-based teaching within health sciences education.
Human Patient Simulation Systems
The patient simulation offerings in the marketplace have evolved significantly in recent years, reflecting changes in how these tools are integrated into health sciences education. Our extensive experience in this field allows us to guide you through acquiring and effectively utilizing these resources for clinical placements and simulation based teaching.
Technology Systems development
KCS Health Sciences Consulting, in partnership with McSquared System Design Group Inc., will provide a comprehensive integrated technology design for your project. This includes the network design, base building physical infrastructure design, Audio/Visual Systems design, and capture debriefing systems design. All of these components will work together as a cohesive system integrated with patient simulation systems and learning management systems, enhancing clinical placements and supporting health sciences education through simulation-based teaching tailored to your overall education program.
Medical Equipment Consulting
KCS Health Sciences Consulting offers valuable assistance in the design and procurement processes for medical equipment, including crash carts, medical dispensary carts, anesthetic machines, ventilators, and diagnostic imaging equipment, all of which play a crucial role in enhancing clinical placements and supporting health sciences education through simulation-based teaching.
XR- Extended Reality integration development
KCS Health Sciences Consulting offers design consulting and procurement process assistance for extended reality simulation equipment, which is essential for enhancing clinical placements in health sciences education. Our collaboration with Microsoft on their initial foray into health sciences education with the Hololens has equipped us with a deep understanding of the advantages and challenges of integrating simulation-based teaching technology into your educational programs.
