This Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase I Project combines web-deliverable, 3-D computer graphics and gaming technology to provide a non-linear, immersive learning environment for nursing education. The outcome of the project is a toolkit which will center on an automated virtual patient capable of providing case-based, non-linear, clinical training scenarios that incorporate the full range of nursing skills. The proposed environment will integrate the virtual patient with physiologically accurate visualizations and an automated feedback module to provide a comprehensive learning environment. Modern computer-simulations present a unique ability to present medical/scientific information in an easy to understand manner. Technology advances in computer graphics present opportunities to present higher quality visual models in an interactive fashion that can convey the scientific process in a way which makes learning interesting and interesting for the students while capturing their enthusiasm for nursing.This project will impact nursing education by ncreasing learning opportunities students in this field. This technology may play a critical role in mitigating the well documented future nursing shortage, by providing high quality virtual nursing educational experiences, without increasing the number of nurse educators.

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目结合了网络交付，3-D计算机图形和游戏技术，为护理教育提供了一个非线性，身临其境的学习环境。该项目的成果是一个工具包，它将集中在一个自动化的虚拟病人，能够提供基于案例的，非线性的，临床培训方案，包括全方位的护理技能。拟议的环境将整合虚拟病人与生理准确的可视化和自动反馈模块，以提供一个全面的学习环境。现代计算机模拟呈现了以易于理解的方式呈现医学/科学信息的独特能力。计算机图形学的技术进步提供了以交互方式呈现更高质量的视觉模型的机会，可以以一种使学生学习有趣和有趣的方式传达科学过程，同时捕捉他们对护理的热情。本项目将通过增加学生在该领域的学习机会来影响护理教育。这项技术可以发挥关键作用，在减轻有据可查的未来护理短缺，提供高质量的虚拟护理教育经验，而不增加护士教育工作者的数量。
