The request for information, posted Feb. 18 by officials at the VA’s Office of Healthcare Innovation and Learning hub, seeks contractors who can implement a simulation platform for learning and education. The program aims to create and employ simulations that provide a safe environment where physicians can experiment and practice without serious consequences.
The Simulation Platform for Learning and Education — or SIMPLE — is also intended to be available on all devices and networks, to enable cohesive remote work, such as remotely practicing procedures on mannequins and for hosting simulation scenarios and events.
