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.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
