Doctors donate $200,000 for new KU Medical Center simulation center
Monday, February 22, 2010
Books and lectures are yesterday’s medical learning tools.
Today, Kansas University Medical Center students use high-tech mannequins and equipment to hone their skills.
Prospective surgeons, for example, can do a laparoscopic gall bladder removal without ever touching a patient. Instead, they use hardware that presents a real-world scenario.
Dr. James Kindscher, professor and chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology at the School of Medicine, said medical simulation has been around for at least 10 years, but the technology has improved during the past few years.

Nursing Department Improves Quality and Patient Satisfaction With Culture Change
Thursday, November 19, 2009
In 1998, The University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, KS, was faced with a patient satisfaction rate in the fifth percentile, turnover rates that were through the roof, and the reality of an organization that was losing market share.
As part of the organization’s strategy to turn the hospital around, nursing set out to change the culture of the department. A renewed commitment to quality improvement, nursing excellence, and staff engagement—along with a six-part strategic plan—effected culture change that transformed the organization. Since 1998, the hospital has seen a 60% decrease in turnover, a 65% increase in inpatient admissions, and more than 200% increase in revenue.
