Research on OMS

• OMS has equal efficacy to mannikin-based simulation

• OMS promotes teamwork, decision-making, and communication skills

• Learners feel more empowered to provide patient care using OMS vs mannikin-based simulation

• The OMS learning experience is equal or superior to in-person training and mannikin-based simulation

• VR simulation is a “financially advantageous, resource conscious pedagogical option for nursing education.”

• The return on investment (ROI) of OMS is between 120% and 3,000%

• OMS leads to direct savings in equipment costs and staff time in nursing

• OMS scenario are perceived to translate to clinical practice improvment

• OMS offers significant return on investment even with light usage

• VR is significantly less expensive than physical simulation while delivering the same learning and performance outcomes
