OMS Efficacy
Brown, 2021
- Usability of OMS was rated as “good to excellent” (as measured by the SUS).
- Junior students’ learning experience (as measured with CLECS 2.0 and SET-M) was similar between OMS and face-to-face simulation.
- Nurse practitioner students’ learning experience was consistently superior in OMS relative to both in person training and face-to-face simulation.
Brown, 2023
- OMS was rated as easy to navigate, with two-thirds of all learners giving the highest rating of usability (as measured with the SUS).
- 100% of learners rated the learning experience highly, selecting either “strongly agree” or “somewhat agree” to all components of the SET-M.
- The authors conclude that embedding OMS within a defined curriculum and facilitated debriefing is valuable for student learning and may ultimately affect patient care.
Mallick, 2021
- Learners using OMS demonstrated significant increases in clinical confidence and performance improvement to Kirkpatrick level 3
- 96% of learners noted that VR scenarios were better for knowledge retention than standard eLearning modules.
Seager, 2020
- 95.5% of participants said they would recommend VR simulation to their peers.
- Clinicians gained skills in time management, prioritization, delegation, escalation, teamwork and structured patient assessment.
Atkinson, 2020
- After using OMS, clinician confidence in managing diabetic emergencies increased significantly.
- 100% of trainees expect to use the knowledge gained within 3 months at work.
- Qualitative responses included: “Honestly, this was the single most useful learning experience I’ve had so far in my training”.
