Carle Health Simulation is advancing systemwide education through a scalable “train-the-trainer” model that equips facilitators to deliver consistent, high-impact simulation experiences across all care settings. The program has integrated virtual reality into its curriculum, creating immersive environments that enhance clinical decision-making and learner engagement. It also developed an electronic after-action reporting system embedded within its event reporting application, enabling streamlined feedback and real-time learning to drive systemwide improvement. Facilitation and mock code courses further build internal capacity and support high-fidelity simulation delivery throughout the organization. In alignment with its vision to improve healthcare quality and patient safety, the team is pursuing AI-assisted scenario development to rapidly generate dynamic, evidence-based training content and exploring chatbot integration to strengthen facilitator support. By embedding simulation into the fabric of the health system and leveraging emerging technologies, Carle Health Simulation positions education as a strategic driver of innovation.
