The Smart Hospital™ is a virtual hospital with more than 40 patient simulators and 40 standardized patients (specially trained actors) that serve as simulated patients. Each of the 28 learning stations has full audio-visual capabilities. State of the science hospital furnishings (beds, headwalls, nurse stations and call systems) and equipment (Pyxis™ medication and supply stations with supporting inventory system software, Alaris™ IV pumps, ventilators, a large inventory of task trainers and devices to aide in patient positioning and transfer) support the Smart Hospital™’s mission of providing a learning and working environment that values patient safety and workplace injury prevention. In Spring 2012, the Smart Hospital implemented the use of an electronic heath record (EHR) in simulation. This program includes not only online documentation but medication scanning technology made possible through the use of ten mobile computer workstations
