Coronary heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in Thailand as well as most industrialized nations throughout the world. The survival rate for patients hospitalized with severe heart disease (ACS, HF) is significantly related to improvements in emergency medical response and treatment strategies. BDMS Training Center for Clinical Skills provides various simulation training programs to help improve patient care and lower the rate of patient complications.

Traumatic injuries such as motor vehicle accidents, falls and assaults often require complex and multidisciplinary treatments including surgery. A qualified trauma center often provides the best chance for patient survival and recovery. Qualified trauma centers require standard practice guidelines and a multidisciplinary team working together to take a good care of the trauma patient. BDMS Simulation Training for Clinical Skills provides a multidisciplinary trauma team training approach to improve patient care and outcomes.
Trauma Simulation Course
This is a half day course for those who would like to learn more about the BDMS Trauma Care Workflow, how to assess trauma patients and plan for treatment. Course includes multidisciplinary team communication and approach using high fidelity mannequins.

There is now overwhelming evidence that significant numbers of patients are harmed from the healthcare they receive resulting in permanent injury, increased length of stay in hospital or even death. Providing clinical staff with the tools they need to be aware of patients who are deteriorating quickly will be a significant step forward. Early Warning Scoring (EWS) systems provide a commonly understood way to recognize the degree of deterioration (or improvement) in a patient’s status, and can therefore ensure that every patient is seen at the right time by the right person. EWS is based on a combination of vital signs including heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure and body temperature. The EWS system alerts staff to the onset of adverse physiological events, enabling medical teams to act faster and deliver adequate care to patients before the occurrence of severe complications.
ERT Course

It is important for physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers to recognize major warning signs for stroke (e.g. weakness, numbness, changes in speech) because of the limited treatment window for stroke patients. Development of a stroke protocol that includes a program to educate staff about stroke warning signs and required treatments cangreatly improve the treatment of stroke patients and save more lives.
Stroke Care Course
This training scenario program addresses opportunities for optimal stroke care in the acute phase. Healthcare professionals' ability to quickly and accurately identify patients at risk for having a stroke and to recognize stroke-type symptoms is important for safe and effective treatment. Stroke protocols in which stroke patients can be identified and triaged quickly may substantially reduce morbidity and mortality rates for this condition.

LEARNING OUTCOMES / OBJECTIVES
- Design an individual plan of nursing care based on the pathophysiology of an ischemic stroke.
- Prioritize nursing interventions in the care of a patient with an ischemic stroke.
- Evaluate the patient’s response to nursing interventions.
- Use therapeutic communication to actively engage the patient and family in plan of care.
