Students practice realistic nurse-to-nurse and interprofessional communication in real time, alongside integrated EHR charting.
For Nursing Faculty & Curriculum Committees
Now with SimDoc Pro™ EHR — integrated electronic charting
Prepare Nursing Students to Communicate When It Matters.
Simulation-based ISBARR communication experiences designed for competency-based nursing education, with faculty in control of feedback and assessment.
Academic partnerships for nursing deans, simulation staff, and nursing faculty. Institutional licensing complements your existing simulation labs, equipment, and faculty-led teaching.

Jordan Lee, RN, 4 West, about Mr. J in 412. BP 88/50, down from 124/78 at 0800. HR 118. Dressing saturated.
Post-op day 1. I’m concerned he’s bleeding. Please evaluate; requesting a fluid bolus and stat CBC.
On my way. 500 mL NS bolus, stat CBC.

Feedback: close the loop with a read-back of the orders.
Practice. Assess. Document.
Assess
Faculty assess communication competency using structured ISBARR criteria, with faculty in control of feedback.
Document
Programs collect evidence that can support curriculum evaluation and accreditation processes.
Built for the questions your committees ask.
Not another app to fit in. A way to teach, measure and evidence a competency your curriculum already owns.
“Who has the final say on a student’s score?”
Faculty in control →
Faculty review, adjust and release feedback and assessment. AI supports judgment; it never replaces it.
“Does it reflect how nurses really work?”
Communication + charting →
Students communicate in real time and document in SimDoc Pro™ EHR, just as they will on the unit.
See it in a faculty demo.
30 minutes with our academic team: a live ISBARR scenario, the faculty scoring view, SimDoc Pro™ charting, and the reports your program can export.
Bring your nursing program’s goals, course sequence, or self-study questions. We’ll discuss institutional licensing and how communication practice can complement the simulation resources you already use.

Custom Scenario Mapping
Have your own scenarios? We’ll map them with you.
Our academic team works with your faculty to map custom simulation scenarios to the AACN Essentials, so new scenarios fit your curriculum map from day one. Discuss the competencies, sub-competencies, and evidence relevant to your program.
Alignment reflects SimPhone Pro’s mapping to The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education (AACN). These domain-level examples support faculty curriculum planning; programs determine how each activity supports their own outcomes. SimPhone Pro is not affiliated with or endorsed by AACN.

Planning a self-study?
CCNE’s 2026 Standards take effect January 1, 2027; the 2024 Standards remain in effect through December 31, 2026. SimPhone Pro reports are organized around the evaluation cycle, not a single numbered standard, so they stay useful across revisions.

Where would I actually put this?
Across clinical courses, at rising complexity. ISBARR competency is built through planned, repeated practice across contexts, not a single check-off. Nursing faculty and simulation staff select placements that support their program’s outcomes.
