Medical Simulation Training Management: SimCapture System

The SimCapture medical simulation training management system provides an affordable, portable, and easy-to-use solution for capturing simulation encounters. With B-Line Medical's SimCapture system, training administrators can:

• Capture and store both video recordings and performance metrics from medical and surgical simulation training sessions for one or many trainees
  
• Review the training sessions with individuals, groups, and trainers
  
• Monitor and assess trainee, group, and courses for needed improvements
  
• Build portfolios for each participant with links to all video recordings and assessment data

Centralized Simulation Training Data

The simulation training management system can be used to record encounters with high-fidelity mannekins, surgical simulators, and partial task trainers. It automatically captures data output from many simulation devices along with Webcam-captured video, providing a wealth of material for evaluation and debriefing purposes.

Support for Medical Simulation Training Programs

The SimCapture system also manages user training programs by providing tools for scenario and checklist creation as well as for reporting and statistical analysis. Most importantly, the system is 100% Web-based, allowing full access to recording, monitoring, and debriefing functionality from any computer with a Web browser and broadband Internet access. Only the ubiquitous QuickTime and Flash Player browser plugins are required. No additional software or licenses are needed.
