CLINICAL SIMULATION
MANAGEMENT

The Kiosk add-on integrates and automates traditionally manual, labor-intensive, paper-based processes across
multiple rooms and simulation events to form a single, simplified view within the SIMULATIONiQ Enterprise
interface. Reports provide answers to important questions such as: Who is using the center facilities, for how long,
and for what purpose? Is the center being used to full capacity? Are students utilizing their simulation practice time
e ectively, and is it reflected in their learning outcomes?

THE KIOSK ENABLES

• Accurate assessment of usage by all customers,
internal and external.

• Timely user reports to satisfy customers’
requirements and avoid payment delays.

• Integration with the SIMULATIONiQ Enterprise
platform for center utilization and simulation and
clinical skills session attendance tracking.
