  1. Virtual Nursing Environment for Safe Decision Making Fatma Mili Project Proposed for UnCoRe 2007

  2. The Problem • Nursing Education • Academic subjects • Practical Training • Practical Training Objectives • Gain familiarity with the environment • Practice theoretical knowledge gained • Gain experiential knowledge From NOAA web site Project Proposed for UnCoRe 2007

  3. Challenges in Practical Training • Trial and error in realistic environments not always doable. • There is a very high cost to errors, therefore • High standards and demands are placed on practical training • The paradox of low frequency high acuity cases From Oregon State University web site Project Proposed for UnCoRe 2007

  4. Low Frequency High Acuity cases • Low frequency  low level of vigilance to them. • Low frequency  may never occur in a realistic setting • Low frequency  level of exposure of students to these cases low and uneven. From WWII US Marine Raiders web site Project Proposed for UnCoRe 2007

  5. Examples of Low Frequency High Acuity • Wrong dosage in prescription • Switching prescriptions between patients • Amputating the wrong leg • Interaction between symptoms, medications, etc. Project Proposed for UnCoRe 2007

  6. Proposed Project • Develop a computer based tool that • Trains nursing students by exposing them to a wider range of scenarios • Tests nursing students’ decision making processes and provides them with feedback. Project Proposed for UnCoRe 2007

  7. Proposed Approach • Build a “find the error” system. • Nursing students watch scenarios and react to them. • Script is different depending on what student does. Project Proposed for UnCoRe 2007

  8. Vision of what the system will look like • Decision making component generating scenarios and randomly inserting “errors” • Graphic interface environment Project Proposed for UnCoRe 2007

  9. Tools to be used • Macromedia Flash (2D game development) • 3D GameStudio 6 (3D game development) • ActiveWorlds • Second Life Project Proposed for UnCoRe 2007

  10. Similar Systems • PULSE!! Project Proposed for UnCoRe 2007
