S E R V I C E S

EMS off ers a number of services that provide a complete single vendor soluti on.

F a c i l i t i e s S e r v i c e s

Consulting. emS works with clients to help define their simulation centers — the physical space, rooms, and functionality they’ll need to provide simulation sessions using standardized patients and high-fidelity manikin environments.

Project Management. EMS project managers “own” each project completely, from the receipt of a purchase order to the completi on of the project. EMS works closely with the client to ensure that all expectati ons are met. EMS can also eff ecti vely coordinate with multi ple vendors and departments to ensure that each project is completed on ti me.

Engineering. Most simulation centers require custom confi gurati on and design services. EMS engineers work closely with clients to ensure that the enti re soluti on meets the client’s needs and budget.

Installati on. EMS works with clients to ensure ti mely and complete installati on of its products. Even when EMS uses a client’s preferred sub-contractors, EMS takes full responsibility for the project when EMS is the primary contractor.

Enhancements. EMS provides billable services to clients who may need to conduct certain tasks in their environment but may not have the scope or resources to complete them in-house. An EMS sales manager can discuss these and other unique or individual needs.

The emS Check-in Kiosk subsystem is an add-on module to the EMS Arcadia Suite. It automates the manual, labor-intensive, paper-based processes and allows you to collect and trend room usage and equipment uti lizati on data. The data is collected through the Kiosk soft ware, and Center uti lizati on reports are generated by EMS’ Arcadia soft ware.

The reports provide answers to important questi ons such as: Who is using the Center faciliti es, for how long, and for what purpose? Is the Center being used to full capacity? Are students uti lizing their simulati on practi ce ti me eff ecti vely? Is it refl ected in their learning outcomes?

The Kiosk lets you accurately assess usage by all clients, internal and external. In additi on, it allows you to sati sfy clients’ requirements for usage reports and avoids payment delays.

EMS off ers two types of Kiosks: wall-mounted and free-standing fl oor hardware models. The Kiosk soft ware is integrated with EMS’ Arcadia soft ware for center uti lizati on and simulati on/clinical skills sessions att endance tracking.

Another opti on for the free-standing Kiosk is a wall-mounted monitor, typically used for digital signage that you can customize, including:

• facility welcome message• event calendar for the day• Floor plan of the facility and “You are here” identi fi cati on• PowerPoint presentati ons

Integrati ng the Kiosk soft ware with EMS’ Arcadia soft ware provides more value than any other kiosk you may consider: the Check-in Kiosk is not merely for digital signage, it also helps track the uti lizati on of a client’s simulati on/skills center.
