Metrics
Performance Management Through Metrics
The SimSuite Education System collects over 800 standardized data points and tracks numerous customized metrics in real time; these data points can be combined for competency testing and proficiency assessment. Studies involving the SimSuite System have shown that the system can:
- Discriminate competencies of experienced and inexperienced operators
- Provide benchmarking capabilities
- Test and certify
The SimSuite Education System focuses on both physical and cognitive skill sets by drawing out the major teaching points of complex procedures and associated devices. Each SimSuite component is designed to address a cognitive ability:
| Aspect | Solution |
|---|---|
| Verbal | Computer-generated interactive mentors |
| Numerical | Drug calculation, device sizing, and radiation dosages |
| Reasoning | Serious adverse event management |
| Deductive | Subtle problems in cases |
| Relationships | Complete patient physiological model |
| Memory | Carry over information from patient presentation and history |
| Spatial | 3D model and real-time angiographic images |
| Perceptual | Asymmetric anatomies and difficult angiographic views |
