Educational and Behavioral
Success in educational research is identified by increased competence based on observational markers, changes in process or behavior, improved patient safety and other clinical outcomes.
Research
Improving Outcomes Through Optimization
The aim of the Jump Simulation Research team is to improve patient safety, ensure access to high-quality health care and bend the cost curve in the medical industry. Using simulation and engineering techniques, we can help ensure that your hospitals, clinics, offices, outpatient centers and home health care systems are optimally designed to improve outcomes.
Research Agenda
The power of simulation to improve patient care outcomes is being tested and explored through three different approaches to research.

Applied
Applied research focuses on moving a proven technology or process into the real clinical space. Simulation's role is to facilitate the movement from "bench to bedside" through rapid cycles of discovery and design.
Translational
Translational research rapidly processes discovery, clinical application and public knowledge.
Innovation Academic Incubator
We are funding new tools, techniques and devices to enhance medical simulation and education as well as for clinical use and treatment.
