This laboratory was established in 2003
and is directed by a PhD nurse scientist. This lab provides protocols
and devices for testing technology defenses to prevent adverse events.
The purpose of this project is to develop a VA-wide center for testing
and evaluation of safety technologies with the goal of standardization
to determine optimal devices. This will, in turn, allow the VA to
standardize purchases and achieve cost savings while assuring the safest
devices are being used.
