Dr. Taylor Edwards, Professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), is embedding dynamic technology into the classroom in a new way for students in a graduate level, healthcare informatics course. As the nursing role and scope continues to evolve, emphasis has been placed on competency from both a clinical and technological perspective. Nurses, administrators, and…
With the evolving landscape of clinical practice, it’s also imperative that nurses are afforded the opportunity to build new skills like utilizing advancing technology or implementing new clinical treatment methods.
The National League for Nursing (NLN) conference this year brought over 1,000 nurse educators, leaders, simulation experts to sunny Orlando, Florida for a week of connection, networking, and learning about the state of nursing education today and how we can continue to improve, enhance, and drive better patient outcomes through healthcare training. The OMS team…

In the simplest of terms, AI is “artificial intelligence”, but more practically, AI involves machine learning, where a machine can take in information, process it, and reason. This is much different from the standard input-output process, but what does it look like in action for healthcare education and training? That can be a bit more…
Each year, nurses are required to complete competency assessments or take part in programs that confirm their ongoing knowledge and skill development in patient care. Policies and standards, like those outlined by the Joint Commission, ANCC Magnet, or the Nursing & Midwifery Council, are meant to play a critical role in ensuring patient safety and…
Putting on a virtual reality headset and diving into an interactive game or experience, like riding a roller coaster, can be a great way to enjoy the virtual world, but those types of simulations can also result in VR motion sickness, sometimes called ‘cybersickness’. Motion sickness is not a new concept, but it may be…
At OMS, we have always been committed to creating the most realistic learning experiences for our clients and learners. With advancements in AI technology and the growing accessibility of VR headsets, we are excited to introduce a new generation of OMS scenarios! As learners evolve and develop their skills, their needs change. They may need…
Acuity levels often refer to a patient’s status level, with higher acuity meaning a more unstable condition. Sepsis is one example of a condition with high acuity. A high acuity setting may refer to the intensive care unit (ICU) or emergency department (ED). Nursing in high acuity environments requires honed critical thinking and clinical reasoning…
When it comes to healthcare training and education, simulation is a core component designed to apply, test, and refine clinical skills in a safe environment for the learner. There are many ways to accomplish this, from traditional methods like manikin-based simulations and the use of standardized patients to more modern methods like virtual simulation and…
