RESEARCH & ARTICLES

ARTICLE

SCREEN-BASED PATIENT SIMULATION – AN EXEMPLAR FOR DEVELOPING AND ASSESSING
COMPETENCY

The purpose of this research study was to determine if virtual patient
simulation is an effective strategy to assist learners in meeting competencies
and sub-competencies outlined in the AACN Essentials.

ARTICLE

NORQUEST COLLEGE BOOSTS STUDENT PERFORMANCE AND LOWERS FACULTY GRADING TIME WITH
SHADOW HEALTH

For nursing students, getting a complete health history from a patient is a
critical skill that is necessary as a foundation for successful patient care.
But leaders at NorQuest College, a publicly funded community college in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, realized that their instruction plan was limiting how
students could integrate their learning.

ARTICLE

LEARNING TO BRING COMFORT TO PATIENTS AND FAMILIES THROUGH PALLIATIVE AND
HOSPICE SIMULATIONS

Of all the vital functions of nurses, palliative and hospice care is one of the
most impactful. When patients are approaching end-of-life situations, the
conversations nurses have with both patients and their families are difficult,
sensitive, and at times contentious.

ARTICLE

USING THE DIGITAL CLINICAL EXPERIENCES™ AS EVIDENCE FOR THE ACCREDITATION
PROCESS

Learn how Shadow Health’s Digital Clinical Experiences™ can demonstrate high
quality education outcomes for nursing programs to use as evidence during the
accreditation process.

ARTICLE

THE VALUE OF VIRTUAL PATIENT SCENARIOS

Learn how virtual patient scenarios like Shadow Health can provide positive
clinical judgment skill development for your students. Research suggests that
high-fidelity simulations can be more realistic and challenging than traditional
methods.

ARTICLE

CLINICAL EXPERIENCES (DCE) ™

Discover how the Shadow Health Digital Clinical Experiences™ help 82% of
learners increase efficiency. Our research-backed program helps improve data
collection, therapeutic communication, and care planning.

TESTIMONIALS


“HEALTH ASSESSMENT HAS REALLY IMPROVED MY ASSESSMENT SKILLS, AND HOW TO DO
DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOCUSED ASSESSMENTS THAT I DO NOT ORDINARILY DO. IT ALSO
MAKES ME THINK DEEPER ABOUT HOW THE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER,
AND REMINDS ME THAT ALL ARE VITALLY IMPORTANT.” - NURSING STUDENT


“PHARMACOLOGY HELPED TO IMPROVE MY THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION AS WELL AS
INTERVIEW EFFECTIVELY SO I COULD GET THE NECESSARY INFORMATION NEEDED TO
PROPERLY CARE FOR MY PATIENT.” - NURSING STUDENT


“SHADOW HEALTH PROVIDES MANY HELPFUL TACTICS TO HELP ASSESS A PATIENT IN REAL
LIFE. I TRIED TO ASSESS SOMEONE BEFORE I EVEN TOOK A LOOK AT HEALTH ASSESSMENT
AND I WAS CLUELESS. AFTER LOOKING AT THESE ASSIGNMENTS, THINGS BECAME SO MUCH
MORE EASIER ON ME. I STARTED IMAGINING MYSELF WORKING ON TINA JONES AND PRETTY
MUCH BRINGING THE ASSIGNMENT TO LIFE.” - NURSING STUDENT


“SHADOW HEALTH HAS HELPED ME GAIN BETTER ASSESSMENT SKILLS. THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT ALL NEW NURSES SHOULD HAVE THE CHANCE IN PARTICIPATING IN TO GET MORE
COMFORTABLE WITH THE QUESTION/ANSWER PART OF ASSESSMENTS. GERONTOLOGY IS HELPFUL
IN THE FACT THAT WE WILL BE FACING OR MAYBE HAVE ALREADY FACED THE ELDERLY
PATIENT WITH COGNITIVE DEFICITS. THE WAY IN WHICH WE NEED TO ADDRESSED CERTAIN
QUESTIONS AND SITUATIONS WILL BE DIFFERENT. I APPRECIATE THE PRACTICE.” -
NURSING STUDENT


“THIS MENTAL HEALTH ASSIGNMENT HELPS TO EXPLAIN MENTAL STATUS EXAM BETTER, AND
ALLOWS YOU TO PRACTICE ASSESSMENT SKILLS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR NURSING. YOU ALSO
GET TO ENCOUNTER DIFFERENT TYPES OF PATIENTS WITH UNIQUE MENTAL ILLNESSES WHICH
IS VERY HELPFUL!” - NURSING STUDENT


“I FEEL THAT SHADOW HEALTH IS A GREAT WAY TO PRACTICE PROVIDING CARE VIRTUALLY
AND PREPARE FOR REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCE BECAUSE IT HAS REALLY MADE ME THINK ABOUT
HOW TO ASK QUESTIONS AND WORK ON GETTING BETTER AT ASKING QUESTIONS. I WOULD
RECOMMEND OTHERS TO USE THE PEDIATRICS DCE AS IT DOES CHALLENGE CRITICAL
THINKING SKILLS.” - NURSING STUDENT


“I LOVE BEING ABLE TO PRACTICE MY SKILLS PRIOR TO BEING IN AN ACTUAL CLINICAL
SETTINGS. CERTAIN ASSESSMENT FINDINGS REQUIRE FOLLOW UP, AND I STRUGGLE WITH
THAT CURRENTLY BUT HEALTH ASSESSMENT ALLOWS ME TO HAVE THE TIME TO CORRECTLY
FORMULATE MY THOUGHTS. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT LEARNING TOOL!” - NURSING STUDENT


“SHADOW HEALTH IS A WONDERFUL TOOL THAT ALL NURSING STUDENTS SHOULD USE. I LOVE
THIS WAY OF LEARNING BECAUSE IT IS VERY INTERACTIVE. I FIND PHARMACOLOGY
ASSIGNMENTS ARE A VERY SIMPLE AND EASY WAY TO LEARN MEDICATIONS. THEY GIVE ME
THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN PATIENT INTERACTION AND TEACHING, AS WELL AS,
MEDICATION MANAGEMENT AND MY PERSONAL EDUCATION OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
MEDICATIONS, WHAT THEY'RE USED FOR, SIDE EFFECT, AND DOSAGES.” - NURSING STUDENT


“I AM GLAD WE WERE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO PRACTICE ON A GERIATRIC PATIENT BECAUSE
WHEN IT COMES TO REAL LIFE I FIND MYSELF NERVOUS BUT EAGER TO HELP. THIS
SIMULATION GAVE ME THE CHANCE TO PRACTICE MY THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION SKILLS.”
- NURSING STUDENT


“I FIND THIS MENTAL HEALTH DCE HAS HELPED ME IN MANY ASPECTS OF MY NURSING
CAREER. I AM A RETURNING STUDENT BUT I AM STILL A PRACTICING NURSE AND SHADOW
HEALTH HAS IMPROVED MY SKILLS AS A NURSE, IN AND OUT OF THE CLASSROOM.” -
NURSING STUDENT


“THROUGH SHADOW HEALTH, I HAVE GOTTEN WAY BETTER AT MY PATIENT INTERVIEWS AND AM
ABLE TO GAIN THE CLIENT'S TRUST AND ESTABLISH A GREAT RAPPORT WITH THE PEDIATRIC
CLIENT AND THEIR FAMILY IN THE CLINICAL SETTING. ” - NURSING STUDENT


“I FOUND THIS VERY VALUABLE TO MY LEARNING. I LIKED HOW I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE TEACHING AND CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PATIENT. IT PUSHED ME TO RECALL MY
KNOWLEDGE AND PUT IT IN TO PRACTICE.” - NURSING STUDENT


“I BELIEVE THE MATERNAL HEALTH SIMULATION HELPED ME LEARN HOW TO IMPROVE ON MY
EDUCATION AND HOW TO TEACH A MOTHER WHAT TO DO IN ALL PARTS OF LABOR. I LEARNED
THAT I NEED TO WORK ON HELPING A TIMID PATIENT FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE DURING MY
ASSESSMENT.” - NURSING STUDENT


“TAKING SHADOW HEALTH'S LEADERSHIP SIMULATION HAS FORCED ME TO THINK BEYOND THE
SCOPE OF EVERYDAY DELIVERY OF NURSING CARE. IT FORCES ME TO THINK AS A LEADER
AND HOW TO HANDLE INTERPROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIONS. IN ADDITION, IT HAS HELPED
WITH TALKING TO AND SOLVING EVERYDAY PROBLEMS WITH PATIENTS IN A VERY
PROFESSIONAL MANNER WITHOUT HURTING ANYONE WHILE ADHERING TO ORGANIZATION'S
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.” - NURSING STUDENT


“AS I CONTINUE TO COMPLETE ASSIGNMENTS WITHIN SHADOW HEALTH I AM INCREASING MY
UNDERSTANDING OF MANY ASPECTS OF NURSING. I AM UTILIZING ASPECTS OF NURSING THAT
I HAVEN'T HAD THE OPPORTUNITIES TO DO IN MY CLINICAL SETTING SO FAR. AN EXAMPLE
FROM THE LEADERSHIP ASSIGNMENTS IS THE USE OF SBAR WHILE COMMUNICATING TO A
HEALTH CARE PROVIDER.” - NURSING STUDENT


“THE ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXERCISES REVIEW THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I LEARNED IN
THE PATHO COURSE WHICH REINFORCES MY SKILLS IN CLINICALS AS A NURSE
PRACTITIONER.” - NURSING STUDENT


“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY SHADOW HEALTH ASSIGNMENTS. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE VISUAL
ANIMATIONS OF CERTAIN PROCESSES. THE ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY DCE HAS SERIOUSLY
BEEN HELPFUL TO ME TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND FULLY CERTAIN CONCEPTS, EVEN THOUGH
I'VE BEEN A NURSE FOR 16 YEARS.” - NURSING STUDENT


“THE ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS EXERCISE HELPS ME THINK CRITICALLY IN FINDING THE
RIGHT DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO SUPPORT MY DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. THIS SIMULATION WILL
HELP ME THROUGH MY NP PROGRAM AND BE ABLE TO UTILIZE IN THE CLINICAL SETTINGS.”
- NURSING STUDENT


“ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS IS A REALLY GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE. IT REALLY AIDS IN
THE CLINICAL THINKING PROCESSES AND HELPS WITH UNDERSTANDING HOW TO DIAGNOSE!” -
NURSING STUDENT


“UTILIZING SHADOW HEALTH HAS GREATLY ASSISTED ME NOT JUST BEING MORE PROFICIENT
AT THE PATIENT INTERVIEW, BUT ALSO BEING MORE COMFORTABLE IN MY INTERVIEW SKILLS
OF ASKING APPROPRIATE AND RELEVANT QUESTIONS TOWARD THE PATIENT'S CARE. THE
ADVANCED PHARMACOLOGY INTERACTIVE SESSIONS ARE ALSO EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN
VISUALIZING THE ACTUAL PATIENT AND BODY SYSTEM INVOLVED MAKING IT MORE
PERSONAL.” - NURSING STUDENT


“I LOVE SHADOW HEALTH. IT HELPS ME WITH PATIENT ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS,
PRESCRIBING AND CRITICAL THINKING ABOUT HOW TO BEST TREAT MY PATIENT. IT ALSO
MAKES ME THINK ABOUT IMPROVING ON MY ASSESSMENT AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS WITH
PATIENTS. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT IN THAT THE VIRTUAL REALITY
PATIENTS MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS THE PROVIDER. THANK YOU SHADOW HEALTH FOR
SOLIDIFYING MY REASON FOR BECOMING AN APRN.” - NURSING STUDENT


“I REALLY ENJOY THE CONTENT PROVIDED BY SHADOW HEALTH AND FEEL THAT I AM GETTING
A LOT OF EXPERIENCE AND GAINING KNOWLEDGE BY USING THIS ADVANCED HEALTH
ASSESSMENT PROGRAM. I WAS ABLE TO FURTHER DEVELOP MY ASSESSMENT SKILLS THROUGH
THIS ASSIGNMENT AND FURTHER DEVELOP MY ABILITY TO PUT TOGETHER A PLAN OF CARE
BASED ON MY ASSESSMENT.” - NURSING STUDENT


“THIS AHA SIMULATION IS AS REAL AS IT GETS TO ACTUALLY EXAMINING AND INTERACTING
WITH A PATIENT. I LEARNED TO ASK MORE PROBING QUESTIONS TO DEFINE, QUALIFY, AND
QUANTIFY ANSWERS OF THE PATIENT TO FACILITATE A DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS.” -
NURSING STUDENT
