Mannequin-based telesimulation: Increasing access to simulation-based education

The 2017 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference, “Catalyzing System Change through Health Care Simulation: Systems, Competency, and Outcomes,” highlights how simulation can improve the delivery of health care across larger systems; however, how can systems change when valuable educational interventions reach only limited populations? Studies have demonstrated the benefit of simulation education^1,2 but have questioned the use of simulation in a system with limited financial resources.³ Most academic medical centers have mannequin-based simulation technology;⁴ yet, it is unclear from the literature how many community hospitals, especially in rural areas, have a simulation center or mannequins.
