Sentinel U® Nursing Simulation Research Grant (SUNSRG) Findings 2021-22: University of Kansas Medical Center
University of Kansas Examines the Effect of Low-Dose, High-Frequency Use on Skill Prioritization and Management
Six organizations participated in the 2021 Sentinel U® Nursing Simulation Research Grant (SUNSRG), funding research on how simulation products can improve learning outcomes for nursing learners. The University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC), a 2021-22 SUNSRG grant recipient, conducted its own unique research study over about a year or so.
Exposure to simulations in small increments over long periods of time helps with confidence and recall.
– University of Kansas Medical Center self-report finding
Supported by Sentinel U’s in-kind grants, KUMC performed its own research, studying the effect of low-dose, high-frequency use of Sentinel U’s Patient Management and Delegation® simulation-based experience on skill prioritization and management. Over multiple months, 71 students in small group settings used virtual screen-based simulations to measure NGRNs’ patient management, prioritization, and delegation skills. Laura Gonzalez, PhD, APRN, CNE, CHSE-A, ANEF, FAAN – Sentinel U’s Vice President of Healthcare Innovation – mentored the university on how to use the simulations in conjunction with the research that will contribute to medical science and education.

Hear Dr. Gonzalez discuss the research findings of KUMC, a recent grant recipient that used Sentinel U’s Patient Management and Delegation® product to explore the effect of low-dose, high-frequency use on skill prioritization and management.
Patient Management and Delegation®
The University of Kansas Medical Center research study found that Sentinel U’s Patient Management and Delegation® simulation-based experience improved nursing resident’s prioritization and management skills.
