Grant Description
Community project funding/Congressionally directed spending - construction - HRSA-24-110 GME project abstract
The Valley Hospital seeks $3.1 million funding for the alteration/renovation of an approximately 8,000 square foot space at 140 East Ridgewood Avenue Paramus, New Jersey 07465-3619, currently owned by The Valley Hospital, Inc.
This project's objective is to contribute to a sustainable multi-specialty physician workforce in Bergen County by creating a dedicated center for simulation-based learning to support a new Graduate Medical Education (GME) program.
This grant would cover the costs of modernization of a space which currently consists of a hospital mock-up patient care area with additional unfinished space.
These areas include an operating room/skills lab space (700 square feet), a medical-surgical/critical care patient room (315 square feet), a labor and delivery room (425 square feet), an emergency department patient room (130 square feet), and a procedural area room (115 square feet), which will remain in the space to realistically emulate the hospital environment for residents to practice patient care scenarios in simulation-based activities.
Within the unfinished space the following rooms will be added: five-workstation control room (315 square feet), conference room (300 square feet), seminar space (400 square feet), three debriefing rooms (375 square feet, 110 square feet, 125 square feet), patient experience lab (300 square feet) and an innovation lab (175 square feet).
In addition, administrative areas including three 100 square feet offices, nine 50 square foot workstations and a reception workstation will be added.
Storage space (750 square feet), a soiled utility room (175 square feet) and a staff lounge (180 square feet) will also be added to the existing unfinished space.
Full specifications have not yet been developed.
Simulation-based learning is a leading training modality using technology in a realistic environment, with life-like manikins and actors in health-related, pre-designed scenarios.
Learners are immersed in the scenario to respond to situations and practice clinical skills in a safe learning environment.
Currently, the simulation-based learning space serving the hospital is comprised of two 300 square foot rooms in a hospital-owned facility in Ridgewood, New Jersey.
Based on the anticipated educational and training needs of the newly accredited internal medicine and obstetrics/gynecology (OB/GYN) residencies starting in July 2024, as well as additional planned GME programs, including a surgical residency program starting in 2025, the current simulation space is not sufficient to meet the educational aims of these programs.
Planning and design of the space started February 2023 and is ongoing with architects.
Construction is expected to begin October 2024 and be completed by June 2025.
Equipment will be purchased between December 2024 and June 2025.
In addition to the construction planned for the development of the simulation center for GME, moveable equipment will be purchased to support the activities of the simulation center which will include manikins, body part trainers to educate residents in how to perform clinical skills and treat medical emergencies.
In addition, tables, chairs, desks and cabinets will be purchased for the rooms.
Audio visual equipment, including monitors, cameras, microphones, speakers, a scheduling system and data tracking will be purchased to run high fidelity simulations and manage the activities of the center.
