Web-based hospital simulation, Anatomy of Care, announced

A new simulation produced by the partnership of WILL Interactive, Inc. and Washington Hospital Center will prove that gaming is not only for leisure, but also for learning. It’s called Anatomy of Care, a Virtual Experience Immersive Learning Simulation (VEILS), that allows its players to immerse themselves on the critical duty of customer care for hospital staff.

Not actually a game but a Web-based training program, Anatomy of Care allows learners to choose between five characters to role play (doctor, nurse, clerical, patient transporter and environmental service worker) at a fictional metropolitan hospital. They are then presented with stressful true-to-life scenarios, making the tough decisions that go with running a hospital.

Designed to educate hospital staff, this simulation promotes compassion, sensitive interpersonal dealings and clarity of values to its users. If this hospital simulation is anything like the ones we love, such as Theme Hospital or Trauma Center, we bet Anatomy of Care will be just as enjoyable as it is educational.

As for its makers, WILL Interactive, Inc. has already made VEILS being used by millions of military personnel, middle school, high school and college students. Washington Hospital Center is one of the largest top hospitals in the United States.
