Technology and Simulation Committee

Vision

The Technology and Simulation (T&S) Committee plays a national and international leadership role in developing and implementing evidence-based standards in data modeling and data presentation to ensure meaningful alignment between training, assessment, and clinical care to address current and future needs in health care.

Mission

Support translation of educational requirements defined by health care educators to design specifications for teams involved with the development of simulators and other technologies
Drive the alignment between simulation-based metrics and performance assessment in the clinical environment
Represent the ACS-AEI Consortium in discussions with the greater health care simulation community in the domain of data standards
Create data models to integrate technical and non-technical skills training in the context of interprofessional training
Liaise with the growing Advanced Modular Manikin™ (AMM™) community www.advancedmodularmanikin.com
