CAE Healthcare’s CAE Owl selected by five healthcare simulation centers

CAE Healthcare today announced that it was awarded five new contracts to supply its new CAE Owl™ simulation center management system. This solution is designed to improve the efficiency of simulation center activities and simplify the logistics behind managing assessment, as well as recording and debriefing training events. Contracts were signed with Université de Montréal, Université Laval, The Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences, the University of Ottawa and the Hôpital Sacré-Cœur de Montréal (HSCM). Several of those institutions collaborated in the medical application of the CAE Owl™ simulation center management system.
