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?
How We’re Challenging Unconscious Bias to Progress Healthcare for Transgender Patients
It’s time to open up a dialogue with healthcare professionals around gender identity and mental health.
VR Simulation at Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing
As their simulation program expanded, the team at JHU were looking to scale delivery of simulation quickly, using the leading technology and software available. They therefore implemented Oxford Medical Simulation (OMS) Virtual Reality scenarios in pre-licensure and advanced practice programs across the nursing school.
Oxford Medical Simulation named one of 12 high-impact innovations to join the NHS Innovation Accelerator
Today, the NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA) announces the 12 innovators (‘Fellows’) and innovations selected to join its award-winning programme in 2021.
Can maternity simulation really be pain-free?
As a simulation professional, you or your team have likely considered the possibility of adding maternal simulation to your curriculum.
There are many benefits to doing so – providing sought after opportunities to learn ‘hands-on’ techniques, preparing learners for certification and making-up for missed clinical opportunities, just to name a few.
