Introducing SimVS-IV InfusionIQ: self-guided IV pump training
InfusionIQ adds independent, self-guided infusion scenarios to SimVS-IV, so students can practice medication administration without an instructor in the room. It ships as a free upgrade to existing SimVS-IV customers.
Most simulation methods still require an instructor to supervise the session. InfusionIQ gives students complete autonomy over the practice session while keeping the safety checks and educational structure that instructor-led scenarios rely on.
What makes InfusionIQ different
Unlike traditional simulation exercises that require instructor supervision, InfusionIQ lets students work through medication administration scenarios on their own, while error-reduction checklists and drug monographs keep the practice grounded in real clinical procedure.
Key features
Case selection
Browse and assign multiple patient scenarios from a searchable case library.
Custom med orders and narratives
Instructors write custom medication orders or patient narratives to challenge students.
Error reduction checklists
Built-in safety protocols guide students through proper verification procedures.
Drug monographs
Detailed medication information, including mechanisms, indications, and usage guidelines.
