The Veterans Health Administration operates a $43 million medical facility in Orlando that regularly welcomes healthcare workers, but no patients, according to CNBC.
The National Center for Simulation Validation, Evaluation and Testing — or SimVET — is a 53,000-square-foot simulation hospital with 60 full-time employees that opened in 2016. The facility is the largest simulation lab in the VA and one of the largest in the nation.
Healthcare teams regularly visit the facility to practice new technologies or perform new procedures in a low-risk environment. The facility is usually running several pilots and projects concurrently, many of which are based on ideas from national program offices and front-line workers, according to the report.
