Abstract

Nearly every device in a simulation center is now reliant upon network connectivity to allow data collection, processing, transfer, or analysis. Everything from the manikin that the students interact with, to the database server that stores scenarios and grading templates, to the telephone system and video recording and debriefing software are frequently connected to some type of network connection. Understanding how these connections are made and the hardware and software required for proper operation will allow the healthcare simulation technology specialist (HSTS) to best use, troubleshoot, and design features for simulation-based education. This chapter will define common terms, describe network components and their features, as well as introduce some innovative uses of this equipment for use in healthcare simulation.
