Performance Management Through Metrics
Medical Simulation Corporation - the Leader in Performance Measurement
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
Competence to perform interventional medical procedures requires both physical and cognitive skills. The SimSuite Education System focuses on both skill sets by drawing out the major teaching points of complex procedures and associated devices.
