Healthcare Training Data Analysis

Having a lasting impact on people’s behaviors, preparing healthcare professionals for critical situations without putting themselves or their patients in danger, and reducing the cost of healthcare training are some of the advantages of using VR in healthcare. Furthermore, new possibilities for healthcare training data analytics and insights are created because actions in VR can be recorded and used for reviewing, debriefing and reporting, according to Amir Elon, writing for the Association for the Talent Development Blog. There are three areas in healthcare training where VR can be used optimally. 1. Measurement and Diagnosis VR allows for the simulation of an actual procedure and improves the medical staff’s ability to measure correctly, …show more content…

The amount of learning that the VR simulation was able to impart to end users should be tracked and timely feedback should be given to them. The achievement and behavior of end users should be studied for valuable insights. The VR training scenario should be adapted for various cases, such as patients from different age categories, varying symptoms, and vital signs. There should be a balance between showing a realistic and full procedure and merely focusing on the key skills of measurement and diagnosis, especially those that can be simulated on VR. 2. Medical Equipment Operation The VR simulation of using medical equipment can save costs related to using actual medical equipment and enables medical staff to practice in unique situations -- rare illness or equipment malfunction. The role played by equipment operation as part of the general healthcare workflow can be illustrated by the VR simulation -- interviewing a virtual patient, equipment safety measures, compliance with the treatment protocol. Making It …show more content…

These will allow them to gain insight on the consequences when medical equipment is used incorrectly, such as simulating an erroneous diagnosis on a patient or doing harm on the patient. The VR training should be included as part of a wider learning approach -- classroom training, on the job practice and reading materials and educational videos. 3. Working in a Medical Team VR allows for the simulation of real-life medical interventions requiring coordination between team members. It may be an emergency response team arriving at a scene, a team of doctors and nurses doing a surgical procedure or routine work that requires coordination and communication between team members. The VR simulation allows for the creation of groups of people from remote locations and additional characters with virtual PC controlled avatars. The trainer can also control and track better the actions of the team members. Making it right The trainer should be given different modes of control, such as allowing team members to follow a tour that the trainer guides or permitting team members to move freely in a
