If you're involved in the operations of a busy simulation lab, you're likely interested in learning about ways to improve efficiency – not to mention freeing up more time to create meaningful learning opportunities for your students.

在这里，我们讨论了您应该考虑与IT部门合作的四个原因，以为Laerdal设备建立专用的在线模拟网络。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。

To help convey how a dedicated network can improve stability, imagine you’re at a crowded party at a friend’s home. Multiple conversations on various topics are happening – but everybody at the party is mixed together in the same space. Everyone must talk louder, repeat themselves, and strain to hear each other, resulting in constant interruptions to the flow of the conversation. Inevitably, some information is misunderstood or lost. This situation is not efficient at all.

Seeing the problem, the host decides to split groups into different rooms by topic so that they can communicate without interruption. Problem solved.

现在，考虑您组织中的数据网络。如果各个部门的众多设备共享一个网络，则设备将不得不争夺带宽，并更加努力地互相交流。它与党类似。而且，不幸的是，设备不能大声说。他们被所有比赛淹没和/或打断了。

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 in更稳定的连接将导致降落和滞后较少。

You put a lot of effort into maximizing your students’ engagement levels, from designing an effective pre-briefing to planning every detail of your scenarios. Would you want something as straightforward as a network issue mid-scenario to undo the work you’ve done?

我们知道,软件更新对柯很重要eping the devices we rely on in our daily lives functionally optimal. Think about smartphones. Thankfully, because our phones always have access to the Internet via Wi-Fi or our data plans, we rarely give software updates much thought. Checking for and downloading updates are usually as easy as tapping a few buttons – and in many cases, our phones notify us when a software update is available.

现在，考虑用于仿真设备的软件更新。如果您目前正在为Laerdal设备使用路由器，则可能很难找到时间以常规的方式与路由器断开您的设备，然后将它们连接到Internet以检查并下载可用的软件更新。当您的设备在专用在线网络上设置时，它将始终连接到互联网 - 这意味着you’ll have quicker, more seamless access to bug fixes and new features as soon as they’re available.

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。远程支持意味着您可以花更少的时间解决问题，而更多的时间专注于培训。

在实际临床环境中进行的原位模拟或模拟，使学生的模拟经验尽可能接近现实。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.
