Clinical experiences offer learners the opportunity to use established professional standards, guidelines, competencies, and best practices to provide safe, patient-centered care to individuals and families in various healthcare settings Addendum: Virtual Simulation Virtual Simulation is an interactive, personalized simulation for students to develop clinical decision-making skills, competence and confidence in nursing students through virtual simulations for nursing. Designed to simulate real nursing scenarios, they allow the students to interact with patients in a safe, realistic environment, available anytime, anywhere. The virtual simulations are is student-directed, with a variety of nursing actions included, for an individualized learning experience. Actions during the simulations are recoded, resulting in a personalized feedback log to help the student identify areas of strengths or needed improvement. DocuCare Simulation Description DocuCare is an academic electronic health record platform for nursing students. DocuCare allows students to chart patient care; this includes complete assessments, vital signs, diagnostic test results, medication orders and administration, intake/output data, and more DocuCare is used in simulated care settings (with simulators, manikins, and software) as well as clinical settings (with actual patients). Because nursing students can document actual patient care from clinical experiences into DocuCare, measures must be highlighted in the protection of personal health information within our academic Electronic Health Record (HER) platform. HIPAA: confidential patient information, or protected health information (PHI), is simply designated as “Protected Health Information” on the screen for each protected field. DocuCare does not display the following patient data: social security number, occupation, employer, insurance, addresses, aliases, admitting and primary care physicians, location of the patient, date of birth (replaced with an auto‐generated birthday based on developmental age), and age.
