AIMS Accomplishments * AIMS joins Friends of AHRQ calling on Congress to set agency funding at $350 million in FY 2008. * Participated in Second Annual Modeling & Simulation Leadership Summit. * Drafted first ever medical simulation legislation. * Built a collaborative relationship with the Chair of the Congressional Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Caucus resulting in the inclusion of medical simulation as an important component of the M&S agenda. * Facilitated over $9 million in federal grant dollars for medical simulation. * Garnered support of 142 Congressional champions for medical simulation in 2007.
* Formed AIMS Industry Council providing industry leadership and support for the AIMS effort. * Participated in the Congressional Modeling and Simulation Caucus Exposition. * Performed outreach to numerous organizations: medical and nursing schools, licensure boards, credentialing and accreditation organizations, providers, and the military. * And with your help, we can do even more.... “We have had such tremendous success in such a short amount of time. Four years ago – no one knew what medical simulation was or the importance it has on patient safety. ” said AIMS Executive Director Jackie Eder-Van Hook. “However, for all our success, there is still much work to be done and it's going to take a community-wide effort. We need people to call, write, and visit their Members of Congress. There are tasks for everyone to perform. If we continue talking to people, educating them on the benefits and importance of medical simulation, keeping it at the forefront of the patient safety and health care agenda – we will succeed at making medical simulation the standard for training and certification in the United States and that is worth working towards.”
