Join ISHE March 14, 2019 for our educational presentation and tour of the William K. Nasser, MD Healthcare Education and Simulation Center at St. Vincent Indianapolis  from 2:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Sponsored by The Hagerman Group

This past summer Ascension Health, one of the country’s largest healthcare systems, opened the William K. Nasser, MD Healthcare Education and Simulation Center at St. Vincent in Indianapolis, IN. As simulation-based training for clinical teams becomes standard practice for many health professionals, particularly in training interdisciplinary teams, this new facility hopes to ensure that physicians and nurses are provided with an exceptional level of education through simulated procedures and team-building exercises. In discussing the preliminary planning, conceptual design, and innovative operational model for the center, this presentation is intended to provide a detailed case study of this new facility and its ability to impact patient care and staff retention/recruitment. Project administrators and architects will review initial research and share lessons learned to provide a comprehensive summary of the project from initial planning to current operation.

Location: 1801 W 86th St, Indianapolis, IN 46260
The presentation will be in rooms 1, 3, and 5.
