AI Article Synopsis

  • Established as a Team Resource Center by the Department of Defense in 2008, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth offers annual tri-service training courses that blend didactic learning with simulation-based exercises.
  • Training includes simulated cases designed to improve teamwork skills, utilizing technologies such as standardized patients, manikins, and virtual reality to create a hands-on educational environment.
  • The TRC supports a research program focused on enhancing team training through modeling and simulation, applying two theoretical frameworks to evaluate training effectiveness and guide infrastructure improvements.

Article Abstract

Designated a Department of Defense Team Resource Center (TRC) in 2008, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) currently hosts three tri-service health care teams training courses annually. Each consists of didactic learning coupled with simulation-based training exercises to provide an interactive educational experience for health care professionals. Simulated cases are developed to reinforce specific teamwork skills and behaviors, and to incorporate a variety of technologies including standardized patients, manikins, and virtual reality. The course is also the foundation of a research program designed to explore applications of modeling and simulation for enhanced team training in health care. The TRC has adopted two theoretical frameworks for evaluating training efficacy and outcomes, and has used these frameworks to guide a systematic reconfiguration of the infrastructure supporting health care teams training at NMCP.

Rural Remote Health

January 2025

School of Health Sciences, Western Sydney University, Campbelltown, NSW 2560, Australia.

Almost universally, people living in rural and remote places die younger, poorer, and sicker than urban-dwelling citizens of the same country. Despite clear need, health services are commonly less available, and more costly and challenging to access, for rural and remote people. Rural geography is commonly cited as a reason for these disparities, that is, rural people are said to live in places too distant, too underpopulated, and too difficult to access.

Background: With the increasing implementation of patient online record access (ORA), various approaches to access to minors' electronic health records have been adopted globally. In Sweden, the current regulatory framework restricts ORA for minors and their guardians when the minor is aged between 13 and 15 years. Families of adolescents with complex health care needs often desire health information to manage their child's care and involve them in their care.
