Laerdal Medical Joins National Minority Health Month – Addressing Health Disparities Using Simulation Training

WAPPINGERS FALLS, NY, April 2, 2019– Racial and ethnic minorities represent more than 25% of the total U.S. population, but only 10% of the nation’s healthcare providers. And research shows that, compared with non-Hispanic white patients, members of minority backgrounds are less likely to receive preventative health service and often receive lower-quality care.

由美国卫生与公共服务部赞助的国家少数民族卫生月旨在提高人们对少数族裔健康差异的认识。188体育直播比分Laerdal Medical在4月的整个月份都支持该计划，促进模拟资源，这些资源可用于更好地准备医疗保健提供者，以治疗属于种族或少数民族的患者。

Laerdal, which specializes in simulation training solutions, has made the conscious decision to expand product offerings to include different skin tones and scenarios that account for differences in specific populations. The intent behind this is for simulated patients to better represent the diverse population that healthcare providers treat. This affords learners the opportunity to develop cultural competence and situational awareness about cultural characteristics that can play a major role in a patient’s care.
Solutions that have expanded with various skin tone options include:

SimMan®3 g平台
Nursing Anne Simulator
SimBaby

“Our vision is that no one should die or be disabled unnecessarily during birth or from sudden illness, trauma, or medical errors,” says David Johnson, President, Laerdal Medical, Americas. “We are proud of our commitment to making that vision a reality. This can only be accomplished if providers are trained to address very real health concerns in the U.S. Our hope is that our expanded solution offerings will help. ”
