How VR Simulations are Designed: An Inside Look into the Authoring Process at OMS
When you’re in the midst of searching for a VR partner, it’s important to understand how their scenarios are built. Not all VR simulations are created equal, and you’ll likely want the scenarios you use to be grounded in evidence and current best practices.
Deliberate Practice Makes Perfect?
It was long-thought that education plus experience equals expertise, but nowadays, it’s clear that there’s more to that equation.
There’s a lot of complexity in mastering a skill and consistently performing at a high level.

5 Exciting Updates to OMS in 2023
As the new year kicks off, OMS is jumping right in and highlighting all the exciting new things available this year!
OMS Partner with The Big 10 on Multi-Patient VR Simulation
Big 10 Practice-Ready Nursing Initiative is a partnership between the University of Minnesota School of Nursing, University of Michigan School of Nursing and Purdue University School of Nursing. The initiative was formed to respond to the issues arising from nurse graduates being unprepared to practice in today’s highly complex and dynamic care environments.
Five Ways VR is Paving the Way for a Digital Tomorrow
While the development of virtual reality technology stretches back as far as the early 19th century, it is only in recent years that VR has started to become more widely available to the public. Since its commercial debut in mid-2010, virtual reality has been making a steady impact.
How Can Virtual Simulation Encourage Retention in Healthcare?
Since 2016, US hospitals have turned over an average of 90% of their workforce. This essentially means that, on average, just 10% of all staff remain working for the same hospital five years on.
What is XR, and How is it Transforming Healthcare?
With the global healthcare market for XR estimated to reach $4.6bn in the US alone by 2025, XR is a game-changer for healthcare systems — and there are surprising possibilities for its use in training, recruitment, and beyond!
‘This will translate to the real world’: Nursing students learn skills through virtual reality
Nursing students have had few opportunities to learn in hospital settings because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But, as this report from reports the Maine News Center demonstrates, virtual reality simulation from OMS is allowing students at the University of New England’s School of Nursing and Population Health to learn skills that prepare them for the real world.
Why VR is an Essential Tool for Healthcare Training
So how do we create more opportunities to practice in simulation, in a way that’s realistic, repeatable, and available whenever and wherever it’s needed?
