About the IMPACTT™
On-Site System

IMPACTT™ is a commercially available product-line designed to fill gaps in team training by improving communication and collaborative decision making. IMPACTT™ On-Site and IMPACTT™ Remote enable learners to train in-person and/or join training sessions from remote locations using their own PC or VR headset. IMPACTT™ also includes an innovative Instructor and Assessment tablet that automatically tracks learner performance.

The IMPACTT™ On-Site Team Trainer supports the training and assessment of clinical diagnosis, critical decision-making, and interprofessional teamwork in emergency medicine. Using the Immersive Modular Patient Care Team Trainer, multiple learners participate in the shared experience of treating realistic virtual patients whose vital signs, diagnostic tests, and medical outcomes depend on collaborative decision-making, as well as the individual skills of each participant.
A user-provided large flat screen monitor provides a consistent overhead Shared Virtual Patient view of the patient’s appearance and behaviors, and of each intervention initiated by the learners, including the patient’s response. Each learner also has a tablet with a personal view of the patient. In this view, they can maneuver around the patient, zoom in to a selected body area, or perform an intervention. Interventions can be performed by tapping on a body part and then selecting from alternatives displayed in context-sensitive radial menus.

An IMPACTT™ On-site System includes:
• A Compact Core (Blue Box) that includes Communications Hardware, Simulation Management Software, and Physiology Engine
• Five (5) Learner/Instructor Tablets each of which is pre-loaded with both Learner and Instructor/Assessment apps.
• Five (5) Virtual Equipment (VE) tablets, each of which is pre-loaded with Seven (7) Virtual Equipment simulations (2 Patient Monitors, 2 Ventilators, Triple IV Pump, Urine Gauge, and Lab Tests)
• An Instructor PC that includes the Shared View display application.
• Carrying Case for all components, suitable for checked airline baggage.
• Installation and Operation Guides.

IMPACTT™ supports two training modes for each patient case:
• Team Communications Training. This mode emphasizes the deliberate use of teamwork protocols such as TeamSTEPPS®. Learners are assessed on their use of closed loop communication, clear assignment of tasks, identifying concerns, and other teamwork strategies.
• Emergency Medical Treatment Training. This mode emphasizes the protocols and critical decision-making of Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), Advanced Burn Life Support (ABLS), and other guidelines for emergency intervention.

IMPACTT™ On-Site Instructor App provides the instructor with:
• A Dashboard to load scenarios and monitor simulation sessions.
• Both Teamwork and Cognitive Assessment screens that automatically record learner actions and instructor observation inputs.
• The ability to store time-stamped learner performance data for analysis, scoring or after-action review.
