Identify Symptoms and Determine Treatment to Put Patients on the Path to Well-Being

With multiple methods of learning and interaction, these simulations engage your learners in multiple critical thinking scenarios that mirror what’s happening in healthcare today. Our virtual simulations are the perfect addition to a school’s curriculum for nursing students, Transition to Practice programs for newly licensed nurses, and for organizations with a nurse residency who are looking for ways to further workforce development. In our Mental and Behavioral Health virtual situations, learners will practice care in immersive, true-to-life scenarios with no risk to a patient. They can explore the role of Telehealth, delve into our Family Support and Home Assessment® simulations, and gain confidence in their ability to provide direction for a patient’s care within our Prioritization of Care® virtual scenarios.

Telehealth

The recent growth of Telehealth in the mental health space has made it more important than ever for students and nurses to get proper training on how to use clinical judgment and communication skills to assess, monitor, and evaluate the care of these patients remotely. The Telehealth – Mental/Behavioral Health virtual simulations and clinicals have learners complete three case studies with different patients suffering from varying mental/behavioral health issues.

Family Support and Home Assessment®

Our Family Support and Home Assessment® virtual simulation and clinical allows nurses and nursing students to immerse themselves in a home environment and practice psychosocial assessment and charting techniques. Learners visit the home of a single mother and use observations to build a care plan to put all parties on a path to better physical and mental health.

Prioritization of Care®

Nurses who work in mental and behavioral health must learn how to prevent mental illness, when to intervene in dangerous situations and what goes into a care plan. Our Prioritization of Care® virtual scenarios provide direction on prioritization of care and intervention selection with tools for both chronic and acute Mental Health settings.
