Let ACE do some of it

Set up automations so items tick off on their own, such as "Hand hygiene" once every learner washes their hands. See Customizing the assessment checklist.

05

Change patient states

Move the scenario forward or raise the challenge by changing the patient's condition, such as stable to decompensating, or by triggering animations, vital changes, or audio cues.

ℹ️
Some of this happens on its own

ACE can automate states and actions you set up in the Web Portal, and the AI moves the patient naturally. For example, if a learner asks the patient to open their mouth, they will.

06

End the session

Wrap up

Select End Session. Actions, checklist inputs, and session details save automatically.

Learners see their score and a summary on the Message Board, and get a results email. You get the full session record.
