DESCRIPTION
Polk County Fire Rescue seeks to enhance its clinical education capabilities by acquiring high-fidelity adult and pediatric simulation manikins. The new manikins from Laerdal will be state-of-the-art and located at the new training center.
The simulation manikins are required for the new training center to be recognized as a certified training center by the state and credentialing agencies.
The manikins and simulation software, "SimCapture," will enable PCFR to recruit and train hometown heroes from our county, while maintaining the current staff's training.
The manikin's SimCapture cloud-based subscription service and hardware is an integrated scenario-recording software that captures audio, video, and manikin-derived data streams (e.g., chest-compression depth, ventilation volumes, and timed interventions) in real-time.
The SimCapture enables recorded scenarios in 4 simulation rooms and a 1 control room, facilitating objective debriefing that allows instructors and participants to review performance metrics, identify areas for improvement, and reinforce best practices.
The software analytics dashboard that is included in the subscription service will provide quantitative feedback-such as compression rate consistency and airway management timing-essential for both individual skill development and program-level quality assurance.
The SimCapture cloud subscription service agreement term of 5-years for a total cost of $248,601.40, which includes shipping cost of the hardware.
