2014 CAMLS ANNUAL REPORT
Improving Patient Safety Remains CAMLS’ Priority
EDUCATE, TRAIN, The loss of 400,000 lives annually due to avoidable medical errors, is believed to now be the third leading cause of death in the U.S. after heart disease and cancer. This renewed wakeup call came during a Senate subcommittee hearing convened July 17, 2014 by Chairman Sen. Bernie Sanders (Ind., VT).
Deborah M. Sutherland, Ph.D. CEO, USF Health CAMLS; Associate Vice President, USF Health; Associate Dean, USF Morsani College of Medicine
The leadership of the University of South Florida Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS) has heard this concern and remains ever more committed to creating a national model for improving medical education and patient safety, as well as developing aggressive and needed healthcare solutions through cutting-edge technology, innovation and simulation. CAMLS’ commitment to transform medical education from an apprenticeship model, “see one, do one, teach one,” to a competency-based model that adheres to evidence-based, best practices remains strong and our instructional design process has proven effective for training medical students, residents and practicing clinicians across all healthcare disciplines. We continue to expand the impressive range of simulators and simulated clinical environments we offer to enhance this approach to cognitive learning, skills development and team training.
INNOVATE “CAMLS has successfully transitioned from a ‘nascent venture’ to an ‘early-stage’ company.” Deborah M. Sutherland, Ph.D., CEO, USF Health CAMLS This past year, our team expanded relationships with area hospitals and healthcare systems; other academic and training institutions that can benefit from CAMLS’ high-tech environment; medical malpractice insurance companies; and attorneys interested in clinically accurate, 3-D models for trial exhibits. We furthered our commitment to research and innovation by fully operationalizing the services of the Tampa Bay Research and Innovation Center (TBRIC). TBRIC’s location inside CAMLS uniquely positions it to offer the complete portfolio of sophisticated engineering and clinical services that faculty and medical device clients require to facilitate efficient development and commercialization of new products designed to improve patient outcomes. Specific accomplishments include the development of services in accordance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), which involves the preclinical testing required for FDA approval and the initiation of an Ethnographic Studies Service with neighboring Tampa General Hospital, required to observe and evaluate how medical products are actually used in the day-to-day clinical setting. I am pleased to report that CAMLS has successfully transitioned from a “nascent venture” to an “early-stage” company using proven metrics and data to inform business decisions and launched new educational
and research products that are in demand and valued by multiple market segments. Our effective governance structure has enabled CAMLS’ unique academic and entrepreneurial model to flourish. CAMLS is operated Charles J. through the not-forLockwood, profit corporation, USF M.D., MHCM Health Professions Senior Vice President, USF Health; Dean, Conferencing Morsani College of Corporation (HPCC), Medicine a direct support organization of the University of South Florida. The corporation is governed by a seven-member board, chaired by Ms. Rhea Law, a local attorney and business leader. Our newest addition to the HPCC Board of Directors, is Charles Lockwood, M.D., Senior Vice President, USF Health and Dean, Morsani College of Medicine. Dr. Lockwood comes to USF from Ohio State University and brings academic leadership and entrepreneurial vision that will further advance CAMLS’ mission. We are proud of the many accomplishments achieved at CAMLS during our second year of operations and are pleased to share the highlights in this 2014 Annual Report.

“CAMLS’ truly clinical environment immerses our surgeons and their OR teams into the stressful realities of their work. Our goal is to build their skills proficiency, but also their confidence.” David J. Smith, Jr., M.D., Medical Director, CAMLS
CAMLS’ Surgical and Interventional Training Center (SITC) provides surgeons and residents across all specialties, an unmatched clinical environment to learn and perfect the latest techniques and procedures, build their confidence and refresh their skills. Its 39 fullyequipped surgical stations make CAMLS one of the nation’s largest freestanding centers dedicated to surgical training.

2014 CAMLS ANNUAL REPORT
TEAM TRAINING IMPROVES PATIENT OUTCOMES Trauma and Labor & Delivery are two high-risk specialties in which hospital teams train at CAMLS to improve communication in an effort to reduce medical errors. Today, fifteen years since the Institute of Medicine’s report on medical errors, hospital patients are no safer, according to patient safety leaders at a July 2014 Senate hearing. Lakeland (FL) Regional Hospital’s trauma team responds to an incoming casualty. The training scenario in CAMLS’ Trauma OR was a simulated motor vehicle crash with a head injury and collapsed lung. Lakeland Regional Hospital committed to training its entire trauma unit at CAMLS. MARK PETTY, MPETTYPHOTOGRAPHY 4
“CAMLS’ emphasis on TEAM training, its ability to offer custom, tailored services to meet our needs as they arise, and its use of our policies and procedures with evidence-based best practice assures our staff is getting training that is the standard of care.” Maureen Ogden, RN, BS, MHA; Vice President, Cardiovascular Services, Tampa General Hospital

COMMUNITY ROLE TAKES MANY FORMS CAMLS’ commitment to the Tampa Bay Region includes the donation of services to the Florida Aquarium. The young, 22-pound, endangered green turtle named Freud, eventually regained his ability to dive for food, thanks to CAMLS. The center’s 64-slice CT Scanner revealed a lesion that permitted air to be trapped in Freud’s left lung, making him a “floater.” Trauma surgeon Luis Llerena, M.D., Medical Director of CAMLS’ surgical center, performed a bronchoscopy that, in combination with the scans, would guide the aquarium’s veterinarian in a treatment plan.
