如果您参与了繁忙的模拟实验室的运营，那么您可能有兴趣了解提高效率的方法 - 更不用说释放更多时间为学生创造有意义的学习机会了。

Here, we discuss four reasons why you should consider partnering with your IT department to set up a dedicated, online simulation network for your Laerdal devices.结果将为您带来SIM实验室运营效率的重大提高。而且，它们将最大程度地发挥您的模拟有效性。

为了帮助传达专门的网络如何提高稳定性，请想象您在朋友家中的一个拥挤的聚会。关于各种主题的多次对话正在发生 - 但是聚会上的每个人都在同一空间中混合在一起。每个人都必须大声说话，重复自己，并紧张地互相聆听，从而导致对话流动不断中断。不可避免地，某些信息被误解或丢失。这种情况根本不是有效的。

看到这个问题，主机决定按主题将小组分为不同的房间，以便他们可以在不中断的情况下进行交流。问题解决了。

Now, think about the data network in your organization. If multitudes of devices throughout different departments are sharing a network, the devices will have to compete for bandwidth and work harder to communicate with each other. It becomes similar to the party. And, unfortunately, devices can’t just speak louder. They get drowned out and/or interrupted by all the competition.

However, if your IT department serves as the “host” by separating groups of devices into different sections of the network, similar to the analogy of putting people in different rooms by topic, the result will be more efficient management of the organization’s overall traffic. Having one of these dedicated sections of the network exclusively for your Laerdal equipment will result ina more stable connection that will lead to fewer drops and lags.

从设计有效的预言到计划场景的每个细节，您会付出很多努力来最大程度地提高学生的参与度。您是否希望像网络中部问题一样简单的东西来撤消您所做的工作？

我们知道，软件更新对于保持我们在日常生活中依赖的设备在功能上最佳。考虑智能手机。值得庆幸的是，由于我们的手机始终可以通过Wi-Fi或我们的数据计划访问Internet，因此我们很少对软件更新进行很多思考。检查和下载更新通常就像敲击一些按钮一样容易 - 在许多情况下，我们的手机在可用的软件更新时会通知我们。

Now, consider software updates for your simulation devices. If you’re currently using routers for your Laerdal equipment, you may struggle to find the time to routinely disconnect your devices from your routers and then connect them to the Internet to check for and download available software updates. When your equipment is set up on a dedicated online network, it’ll always be connected to the Internet – which means一旦可用，您就会更快，更无缝访问错误修复和新功能。

在整个Covid-19，许多组织都依靠远程IT支持软件继续支持在家工作的员工。该软件允许他们远程访问员工的设备，以识别和解决问题，而无需依靠员工来获得任何技术知识。

专用的在线网络将为您的Laerdal设备带来相同的好处。当您呼吁支持时，我们的服务台技术人员可以远程对模拟器进行故障排除，以帮助确定问题的严重性并开始解决大多数问题。Remote support means you can spend less time fixing problems, and more time focusing on your training.

In situ simulation, or simulation that takes place in the actual clinical environment, allows students’ simulation experience to be as close to reality as possible.In situ simulation has been shown to improve clinical and teamwork skills, and even improve patient safety outcomes.²

A dedicated network can be created for accessibility throughout your facility. This means you’ll have flexibility in choosing locations for your simulations. And, you won’t need to worry about staying within range of a router.
