====== Simulation Center ======

A [[simulation]] [[Center]] is a dedicated area within [[healthcare]] [[education]] building, medical center, or [[training]] facility which is devoted to medical simulation.

The number of healthcare simulation centers (HSCs) in mainland [[China]] has increased exponentially recently. However, the performance of these centers varies significantly between [[hospital]]s. 

The number of [[healthcare]] [[simulation center]]s (HSCs) in mainland [[China]] has increased exponentially. However, the [[performance]] of these centers varies significantly between [[hospital]]s. 

The aim of a study was to address two [[research]] questions: 

(1) what are the critical factors for implementing high-performance HSCs, and (2) how are these critical factors used in the development of implementation strategies to achieve satisfactory performance?

Following a [[literature review]] on [[information technology]] (IT) implementation, Yan et al. identified a framework comprising four key dimensions for HSCs implementation: technology, organization, environment, and individuals. This TOEI [[Technology-Organization-Environment framework]] was then used as a basis for a multi-center case study through which data collection and analysis proceeded. They collected 12 one-to-one in-depth interviews alongside secondary data from six high-performance HSCs in mainland China.

The study identifies critical TOEI factors that collectively influence HSC implementation performance and major activities at the six high-performance HSCs. Three strategies for implementing high-performance HSCs are also identified: facility management platform, education and [[training center]], and [[innovation]] center.

HSC implementation is a [[holistic]] approach. The critical TOEI factors collectively build a foundation for center activities. An HSC's implementation strategy highly relies on organizational strategic goals. Additionally, HSCs in mainland China face some common challenges such as [[faculty]] retention and future opportunities such as expanding the [[research]] scope. This study also provides insights for hospital [[leadership]], medical [[association]]s, and [[policymaker]]s
