About Us
Dan’s answer was to create and develop a suite of “Virtual Clinical” software products that could give students and clinical nurses the benefit of many years of experience. He began with the Emergency Room Clinical, which builds an individual’s sequential thinking ability. In addition, the ER teaches how to accurately triage patients and make appropriate nursing assignments while providing each answer with correct rationale. The ER simulator also efficiently teaches how to manage staffing resources in the ER. A Fundamentals of Nursing simulator is also included and teaches new students how to listen to a report, appropriately classify patients, and assign appropriate nursing diagnosis’s. Each Virtual Clinical provides the student or clinical nurse—and the instructor or nurse manager—an evaluation of each simulation, and the cumulative composite scores and recorded times. This allows the student/nurse and their instructor/manager to evaluate the progress and determine an individual’s standing among classmates or colleagues. The skills learned working with our Clinical products are easily transferred to other nursing settings for both the student and clinical nurse.
Swift River Clinicals are based on the educational learning theory of Kiili’s Experiential Gaming Model and the Experiential Learning Model developed by David Kolb. In other words:
-
The student is presented with a patient(s), including symptoms, brief medical history, and vital signs
-
The nurse reviews all the relevant information
-
The nurse determines the actions to be taken (prioritization, delegation, and assignment)
-
The nurse receives immediate feedback on the accuracy and appropriateness of their decisions
-
The process loop continues
