ISIS - Mission Statement
The
Institute for Simulation and Interprofessional Studies has,
as its primary goal, to provide leadership in the use of simulation
technologies to improve the quality of health care education
and improve patient safety and outcomes. ISIS will seek highly
collaborative alliances in selected projects with other educational
and health care delivery systems with similar interests in
simulation. The primary impact of ISIS will be upon the citizens
of the State of Washington and the greater WWAMI region. Through
its research and education efforts and publication of results,
ISIS will also have a strong influence and potential impact
upon providers and patients in a global fashion.

Doctors
for a Day 4/2007
At
the 2007 Turner Society Recognition Reception in April,
four guests agreed to "scrub in" for a virtual anesthesia
experience. Under the watchful eye of Dr. Brian Ross, professor
of anesthesiology, the four Turner Society members inject
medications, track vital signs, and even insert a breathing
tube - all using an astonishingly lifelike interactive
mannequin (simulator). The simulator is a training
tool, just one of many new techniques pioneered
by ISIS - UW Medicine's Institute for Simulation
and Interprofessional Studies - to
train health professionals and increase patient safety.
