SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, USA, June 8, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Simulation Lab at Intermountain Healthcare has been receiving national and global attention this past month by being highlighted in Washington D.C. and with receiving accreditation in a Simulation Consortium in the area of Teaching and Education.
The Intermountain Simulation Lab crafted a simulated apartment that is used for educating patients on self-care management at home. One objective is teaching families with a family member that has heart failure how to manage the chronic condition at home rather than just with discharge paperwork. The interactive exercise includes handling daily medications, measuring blood pressure and making food plans. Preliminary results are showing improvements in self-care management. Patients so far have had higher confidence in treatment plans, greater satisfaction in care and fewer self-care management errors.
The innovative patient education simulation is being showcased at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health in Washington D.C. The Center has a simulated home display with Intermountain’s work on display.
The Simulation Center, located at Intermountain LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, has recently received accreditation from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare. The accreditation comes as a Simulation Consortium in the area of Teaching and Education and is major achievement for the largest simulation lab in Mountain West.
The accreditation is a global recognition for delivering excellence and expertise in teaching and education. Institutes have to demonstrate consistent and integrated simulation. The Intermountain Simulation Lab allows for a hands-on environment designed to teach new skills, critical thinking and aims to improve patient safety and clinical outcomes.
The Lab’s emergency rooms are fully outfitted with interactive, computer-driven mannequins that allow deliberate practice of a full range of clinical interventions. They are equipped with sinks, patient beds, crash carts, and all needed equipment to make the experience feel like an actual medical situation.
High-definition cameras are also positioned throughout the center, which gives simulation staff the ability to view and interact with medical staff as if they were the patient, from a centralized observation control room.
More information about the Simulation Center can be found on Intermountain website.
Intermountain Healthcare is a Utah-based not-for-profit system of 22 hospitals, 180 clinics, a Medical Group with about 1,500 employed physicians and advanced practitioners, a health plans group called SelectHealth, and other medical services. Intermountain is widely recognized as a leader in transforming healthcare through high quality and sustainable costs. For more information, visit www.intermountainhealthcare.org.

It's that time of year again! Over the past five years, we at Fostering Media Connections have taken dozens of foster youth and adult supporters up the steep slopes of Mt. Shasta – an event we've dubbed the Questival.
Last year, our climbers were snowed out when a freak storm hit the day they planned to summit, but they didn't give up. The year before, 4 of our 5 former foster youth climbers, 75%, successfully conquered the 14,179-foot beast. The average successful summit rate for Mt. Shasta is 50%.
Each climber has a personal fundraising goal. Will you help our youth climbers hit their targets? All you have to do is visit our Crowdrise page and click on the youth you want to support.
As always, the Questival will be an adventure full of mental and physical challenges. But there will also be an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment – even for those climbers who don't reach the summit.
Will you help us reach our $30,000 goal this year?
Support Youth Climber Aryelle here.
Support Youth Climber Jeremiah here.
Support Youth Climber Monique here.
Support Youth Climber Kristy here.
Support Youth Climber Frank here.
Your support will fund our Youth Voice Initiative, where our Youth Voice Correspondents – who have experienced foster care – learn to produce solution-based journalism from the staff at our news site The Chronicle of Social Change, get their stories published and get paid. Plus, the skills they gain as they improve their writing abilities will be valuable in any job.
You can donate online through Crowdrise, or you can mail a personal check to the Los Angeles address below.

CHECK OUT SUPER WHATEVR'S GOOD LUCK EP
June 8th, 2017 - Orange County, CA - Fans rejoice! Super Whatevr has released a new song and video for their track "Bloomfield". The band is gearing up to release a full length later in the year through Hopeless Records and this song is a small taste of what is yet to come.
Check out the music video and song here: smarturl.it/BloomfieldVideo
"Bloomfield" touches on the aftermath of a relationship, the struggle of wanting to go back to that person you knew and loved and trying to find any excuse to do so. Vocalist and bassist Skyler McKee explains further, "The lyrics are about arguing back and forth with your better judgment and the turmoil that comes out of that state of being. 'We've got a lot in common, nothing in common at all, but if you like being alone then come and find me' is rationalizing the obvious fact that the relationship was a train wreck but loneliness sometimes feels heavier than dissonance"
Super Whatevr is a band from Orange County, California. They are three gentlemen with a desire to play music to a wider audience. They are Super Whatevr. #alwayshavingfun
The band's previous EP, Good Luck, is available for download on iTunes and streaming on Apple Music or Spotify now.

HSU offers condolences to hero’s family and friends
Humane Society of Utah’s statement on the killing of Jeremy Hardman
Jeremy Hardman was killed after reportedly confronting a man who was beating his small Chihuahua dog at the corner of 4100 S 3600 W in West Valley City, Utah around 3:40 p.m. Wednesday, June 7, 2017. Witnesses say Hardman and his friend and co-worker, Jason Estes, saw the suspect repeatedly punching the small dog and pulled over to confront him. West Valley City police report that the suspect got into his car, made a U-turn and intentionally hit Hardman in the crosswalk. Hardman died at the scene.
The suspect sped away from the scene with the dog.
“We are deeply saddened by this unwarranted crime and the untimely death of Jeremy Hardman,” said Gene Baierschidt, HSU executive director. “We extend our sincerest condolences to Hardman’s friends and family. He was a hero in the truest sense of the word for selflessly stopping to defend a helpless animal in need, and his murder is most tragic.”
The Humane Society of Utah strongly advocates against animal abuse. “Animal cruelty is a serious crime against not only the animals but also our society as a whole,” said Baierschmidt.
Criminal records show animal abusers are five times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes and drug offenses.
West Valley City police are treating the case as a homicide and are searching for a muscular white or Hispanic male in his late 20s to 30s with brown hair in a “buzz” cut. The suspect was driving a black 2001-2005 model four-door Lexus. The vehicle has a modified, loud exhaust system, rear spoiler fin, temporary license plate and now a smashed windshield from the crash.
Anyone with information on the suspect or the suspect's car, please contact WVCPD at 801-840-4000.
