Kuakini Acquires Hawaii’s First SimMan 3G 
Kuakini Health System is the first in the state to acquire the SimMan 3G, the most advanced robotic patient simulator available.
Unlike previous models, the SimMan 3G is completely portable and wireless with a working range of 300 yards from the computer controls. This new model has an internal compressor located in his leg, as compared to the older versions that required a bulky external compressor. Weighing about 90 pounds and having an eight-hour battery, the SimMan enables Kuakini to simulate a medical emergency from the time the incident occurs (e.g., a heart attack off campus), through the ER experience and then admission to a patient floor.
Kuakini Prepared for MRSA since 1990
2009 National Patient Safety Goals Protect Kuakini's Patients
Patient safety is one of the primary areas that Kuakini's Health Care Team members focus on while providing care to patients and residents. In 2002, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations released its first set of National Patient Safety Goals to promote patient safety in healthcare organizations. Each year, Kuakini reviews policies and procedures to ensure that all staff are in compliance with existing and new safety goals.
