Spring Conference Tour: Hosted by HCA East Florida Division
Date: Tuesday, March 17, 2026 Time: 3:30 PM Location: HCA Healthcare Center for Clinical Advancement – East Florida Division 261 N. University Drive, Suite 600 Plantation, FL 33324
Conference attendees are invited to participate in an exclusive tour of the HCA East Florida Division Simulation Lab at the HCA Healthcare Center for Clinical Advancement.
The Simulation Center provides a valuable hands-on look at how modern healthcare simulation prepares a broad range of healthcare professionals — including nurse residents, resident physicians, nursing students, and first responders — for real-world patient care.
The facility features high-fidelity manikins, realistic hospital room environments, and advanced simulation technology designed to replicate complex clinical scenarios. These controlled environments allow learners to practice clinical decision-making, teamwork, and technical skills safely, without risk to patients.
For healthcare supply chain leaders, the Simulation Center demonstrates the critical role that product standardization, equipment readiness, and inventory reliability play in patient outcomes.
From ensuring the appropriate supplies are available during high-acuity scenarios to supporting product evaluations and clinical innovation, supply chain is an essential partner in delivering safe and efficient care.
The tour highlights the importance of collaboration, communication, and strategic alignment between clinical and supply chain teams to optimize performance in today’s complex healthcare environment.
