Patient Safety Center Organization

Abstract

With patient safety and improved outcomes as its focus, the Institute for Surgical and Interventional Simulation (ISIS) is dedicated to the training of medical professionals in technical and procedural skills, and research and development of emerging simulation technologies and educational strategies. ISIS is a collaborative Instituted on the University of Washington School of Medicine. It connects fifteen departments within the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, the Biorobotics Laboratory, the Human Interface Technology Lab, and the Center of Videoendoscopic Surgery. It offers educational opportunities across the spectrum of medicine, including practicing physicians, residents, medical students, nurses, and other medical professions. This model has applicability in civilian and military settings, as expertise from both can be combined into comprehensive simulation programs. ISIS and the Anderson Simulation Center at Madigan Army Medical Center (MAMC) represent an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of such a relationship.
