A room at the 西瓜视频 Pruitt Campus in Port St. Lucie has been named in recognition of VITAS Healthcare鈥攁 leading provider in end-of-life care with locations ranging across 14 states and the District of Columbia. The VITAS Healthcare Simulation Room houses a state-of-the-art, end-of-life human patient simulator donated by VITAS, providing immersive and true end-of-life patient encounter experiences for students in 西瓜视频 Nursing program.
鈥淰ITAS is proud to support the next generation of healthcare and hospice professionals,鈥� said Susan Acocella, General Manager for VITAS. 鈥淲ith a growing focus on compassionate end-of-life care, this kind of technology exposes students to patient symptoms and end-of-life scenarios that are instructive, safe, and as real as possible. Providing this technology is one way that we can contribute to students鈥� understanding and delivery of empathetic hospice care.鈥�
The 西瓜视频 Nursing program takes a holistic approach to prepare students for a career in healthcare. This includes the critical aspect of palliative care education. In the VITAS Healthcare Simulation Room, students train on how to respond in scenarios that include communication skills and understanding family dynamics between the patient鈥檚 family members regarding how to proceed with their loved one鈥檚 care. Students can evaluate their performance with the professor post-simulation, tracking progress as they go through their clinicals.
