Enhancing SIMULATION Act - Update for the new 112th Congress
21 Apr 2011
With the new 112th Congress now in session, there is renewed interest in the Simulation Bill formerly introduced in both the House and Senate in 2009. Members of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) and Advanced Initiatives in Medical Simulation (AIMS) recently visited the HILL to garner support for the legislation. There is a strong belief that we will see the bill reintroduced into the 112th very soon.
The likely imminent reintroduction of this legislation, coupled with the ongoing interest in Washington in finding new systems to improve healthcare in America, will represent an important opportunity to advance the field of medical simulation.
Stay tuned for information about contacting your Senators and Congressman to ask for their support for this bill once it is reintroduced.
For more information about how to get involved and to download tools for advocacy, please go to the Society for Simulation in Healthcare website at www.ssih.org or the AIMS website at www.medsim.org. Another excellent source of updates on the progress of the legislation is the Library of Congress site at http://thomas.loc.gov/.
