Queen Elizabeth Hospital is Adelaide’s Acute Care Hospital has begun using Vantari VR’s virtual reality technology to train doctors and students in ICU medical procedures.
why it matters
For the first time, TQEH employs a simulated learning approach to train ICU clinicians. We aim to standardize ICU training to reduce medical errors, improve training outcomes, and ultimately ensure positive patient outcomes. A recent study by researchers at the University of Wollongong found that the Vantari platform minimized medical errors by 40%, improved training performance by 32%, and improved safety and hygiene compliance by 39%. .
“Historically, ICU clinicians have widely adopted a ‘see, do, teach’ approach, which leaves room for error if the studied procedure is not performed precisely. This not only poses a risk to the accuracy of the clinician’s accuracy, but also to the accuracy of the subsequent work.The physician not only continues to perform the operation, but also to the young people who will be taught in the future. We also train clinicians,” explained Dr. John Large, senior ICU consultant at TQEH.
“Standardization of medical procedures in the ICU environment is very important.” In determining whether the procedure was successful. For example, if clinicians are stationed in a central line, each expert will have their own way of managing a particular step, but ensuring ICU clinicians are trained in a virtual reality environment is , to help ICU clinicians instill standardized habits and step-by-step synchronous practices in performing clinicians. Surgery,” he added.
the bigger trend
The 300-bed hospital is the first healthcare provider in South Australia to use VR technology for medical training. Vantari’s platform is already being used in: We have hospitals in the United States as well as in New South Wales and Western Australia. The company hopes to keep this pace and establish more partnerships in the Middle East, India and Asia.
Meanwhile, Vantari announced that its VR platform now provides direct access to clinicians, allowing medical professionals to improve their skills and refresh their memory of procedures in the comfort of their own homes at their own pace. .
