The AHA Endorsement of Simulation-Based Training, which followed a proprietary due-diligence process, will enable hospitals to enhance their ability to improve clinical outcomes and patient safety while controlling costs. AHA Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of the AHA, awards the AHA Endorsement to products and services that help hospitals and health-care organizations achieve operational excellence.  

"Simulation-Based Training from RPS and MSC gives care providers the opportunity to practice clinical techniques and procedures in a realistic, immersive environment, leading to an improvement in the quality of patient care and a reduction in medical errors," said Anthony J. Burke, President and CEO of AHA Solutions. "In today's health-care environment, hospitals face increasing challenges to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operations. Simulation-Based Training can help hospitals achieve these goals."

Simulation-Based Training solutions leverage Raytheon Professional Services' extensive experience designing and implementing blended learning – ranging from online and instructor-led training to a wide array of simulation programs and technologies.

"This endorsement gives RPS the opportunity to offer the AHA's nearly 5,000 hospital members a comprehensive range of solutions that are customized based on their needs, goals, and budgets," said Dave Letts, vice president and general manager of Raytheon Professional Services. "In partnership with MSC, we will create and implement training that is aligned with the paramount objectives of care providers."
