Abstract

Simulation in Motion – Iowa (SIM-IA) is a high-fidelity simulation education for health care providers throughout Iowa. SIM-IA is administered by the University of Iowa College of Nursing with mobile simulation trucks in Iowa City (east), Des Moines (central), and Sioux City (west). SIM-IA’s goal is to provide simulation continuing education to improve patient outcomes. In year 1, SIM-IA provided 110 sessions for over 2200 providers. Second-year goals include expanding from emergency medical service (EMS) providers to hospital and long-term care facility providers. Major implementation challenges include planning, budgeting, and supplies during COVID-19 pandemic, decentralized simulation staff, fiscal sustainability, and diverse local EMS protocols.
