| Initiative Title | Purchase an Adult & Child Patient Care Manikin for Rad Positioning and Rad Patient Care |
|---|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The Rad Tech program does not have a "patient" manikin so all simulations for radiographic positioning or patient care done using a student or Pixy ( the anatomical phantom). The problem with using Pixy for everything is that she is over used and begun breaking from constant moving and positioning. She was not meant to be used as a double for patient care and taking imaging exposures. She is also very heavy and difficult to move so not ideal for patient care or positioning on a regular basis. Naturally the potential problem with using a student for all simulations or demonstrations means the volunteer "patient" is not seeing fully or completely what the instructor is doing or explaining. This leads to the instructor needed to repeat material or rotate and use another student so everyone sees and understands what is going on. Also we have NO infant or child manikins to practice on and no student can be the stand or simulate that experience. Thus the first positioning and patient care experience students get does not come until they are at clinical and faced with an actual child. LuAnn, Michele and I have been investigating patient care manikins. A child or infant manikin is on average $400 and an adult is on average $1,000. |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Pixy, the anatomical phantom will continue to be over used and break. Students will not get the most out of their laboratory experience and prep for the real-world setting especially lacking a child or infant manikin to practice on. Time will not be used as efficiently as possible with instructors needing to repeat items because they are using a student as the simulation patient. The completion date is an estimate as we would purchase ASAP if funding is allocated. |
| Department Goals | Make new purchases for student learning in the laboratory such such as patient care manikin to use for radiographic positioning and patient care labs as well as lectures. |

|---|---|
|
This equipment will enrich student learning activities, help them reach outcomes, help them achieve goals and naturally reach employment by successfully completing the course with added equipment and technology. |

|
Currently using the QA phantom as a patient care phantom could be hazardous if the arm or head fell off onto a students leg, foot or arm. They really should have a more light weight and easier to use patient care manikin for patient care classes and positioning. |
|
Will enhance the resources not just the program, but institution as well and make the program more attractive to possible applicants |
|
Enhances educational offerings in the lab and in the classroom for the program thus organization as a whole. |
|
Enhances educational offerings in the lab and in the classroom for the program thus organization as a whole. Help students reach their program and education goals with use of manikin for required courses and labs. |
|
Again, this additional resource will look attractive to potential applicants, support student learning to reach their goals (both in class and in clinical setting), can help with retention if the manikins help even one student pass instead of fail and of course allows them to practice in order to get ready for employment |
|
New and improved equipment in the healthcare setting allows for high quality programs and improvement of student learning. |
|
The program has gone a long time with out a patient care manikin while other departments have many. It's time to utilize this technology in the department to increase student learning activities and let them get the most out of their laboratory experience. The manikins are support services by allowing hands on learning activities |
| Action Step | Responsible Party | Order |
|---|---|---|
| Continue researching and acquiring price estimates | Department staff and faculty | 1 |
| purchase equipment if funds granted | Department initiates, AVP approval, and area where funds would come from | 2 |
| Outcome | Order |
|---|---|
| Quality of classroom and laboratory activities will increase | 1 |
| Students will have more learning opportunities not playing the role of "patient" during explanations | 2 |
| Students will have more learning resources to practice for lab practicals in an effect "real-world" simulation | 3 |
| Method | Description | Other Method | Responsible Party |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entrance/Exit Interviews | Interviews are conducted with students when they enter college and when they leave—either through graduation or early departure. These interviews can be designed to measure SLO, but can also be used to learn about students’ perceptions, gather feedback, on various college services, activities, etc. | DI department | |
| Observations | Information can be collected while observing “events” (including, sponsored activities, student {office staff} sessions, etc.) in the natural setting. Observation can provide information on student behaviors and attitudes. | DI department and anyone else who wants to observe how the students use this item or staff does to teach . | |
| Interviews | The students (or other participants) are able during an interview to share their direct experiences, attitudes and beliefs. Interviews can be either structured or unstructured. | DI department ask students input compared to not having one at all- how has this helped | |
| Rubrics/ Scoring Guides | Rubrics/scoring guides outline identified criteria for successfully completing an activity, assignment, etc. and establish levels for meeting the criteria. They can be used to score everything from essays, engagement, to performances. | Students are scored for test, but currently using the QA phantom for everything |
