H.R. 855/S. 616
Medical Simulation Legislation
On February 4, 2009, Representatives J. Randy Forbes (R-VA) and Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) reintroduced the Enhancing SIMULATION (Safety In Medicine Utilizing Leading Advanced Simulation Technologies to Improve Outcomes Now) Act of 2009.
On March 17, Senator Harkin introduced a companion bill, S. 616 in the Senate. Click here to view a copy of the new legislation.
This legislation extends the benefits of advanced medical simulation technology to the civilian health care system; and will enhance the deployment of simulation technologies and the incorporation of such technologies and equipment into medical, nursing, allied health, podiatric, osteopathic, and dental education and training protocols.
