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.The results will bring you major improvements in the operational efficiency of your sim lab. And, they will maximize the effectiveness of your simulations.

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.

但是，如果您的IT部门通过将设备组分为网络的不同部分，类似于将人们放在不同的房间中，则结果将更有效地管理组织的整体流量。将这些专门用于您的Laerdal设备的网络专用部分之一将导致a 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，您就可以更快，更无缝地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。

A dedicated online network will allow for the same benefit for your Laerdal equipment. When you call in for support, our Help Desk technicians can troubleshoot your simulator remotely to help determine the seriousness of the problem and begin solving most issues.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.现场模拟已被证明可以提高临床和团队合作能力，甚至可以提高患者的安全结果。²

可以创建一个专用网络，以供整个设施中访问。这意味着您可以灵活地为模拟选择位置。而且，您无需担心停留在路由器范围内。
