Center for Clinical Effectiveness and Patient Safety

The Clinical Effectiveness and Patient Safety Center of Economic Excellence (CoEE) is redefining how students in medicine, nursing, and allied health are educated, and is fast becoming a world-leader in simulation training and curricula development. It also is collecting data from its efforts so that its evidence-based courses become the standard of training for the healthcare industry. The rapid success of the Center's growing, statewide network of simulation labs is leading to significant commercial opportunities. In 2008, the CoEE established a limited liability corporation, SimTunes, and has applied for Small Business Administration start-up grants.

The Clinical Effectiveness and Patient Safety Center of Economic Excellence is based at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston. In 2008, the Center opened its new headquarters for the statewide network of Simulation Centers, the MUSC Healthcare Simulation Center. The 11,000-square-foot facility houses more than $900,000 in sophisticated simulation technology, including more than 50 adult and infant simulators.
