Bleeding Control VR

Learn how to stop traumatic bleeding and save a life! This VR trainer presents two scenarios where a person experiences a traumatic injury and excessive bleeding. The player must find resources in their environment to treat the injury and save their life. An assessment is provided after the scenario so the player can reflect and recognize how fast traumatic bleeding becomes fatal. This experience was effective in teaching the steps of using a CAT tourniquet and helping people understand what excessive bleeding looks like.

Model Viewer VR

Prepare for a procedure, and review a patient’s anatomy through traditional imaging, VR, and 3D printing. Model Viewer VR allowed clinicians to view real patient scans in a virtual space. They are given the ability to rotate, scale, and remove/show layers of anatomy in order to better prepare for a procedure. This product was developed in conjunction with a 3D printing portion, where the same patient data was 3D printed to provide another medium for the clinician to prepare.

Quality & Safety VR: EVS

Quality & Safety VR: EVS is a training simulation specifically for newer Environmental Services associates to practice the high-profile cleaning steps in various locations of a hospital and to practice social skills with a patient. This project highlights the importance of EVS associates in the hospital as they are pivotal for patients’ quality care, and key in the safety of all who interact with the hospital system.

SBAR: A Visual Novel

SBAR: A Visual Novel is a trainer based on the communication tool called, “SBAR.” This stands for, Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. This tool can be used by anyone in any setting to help communicate clearly, and effectively. This simulation introduces the concept to the player, provides a good example of an SBAR, and gives an opportunity to practice building an SBAR, all within a narrative game style.

Trauma Yellow

The Trauma Yellow virtual training simulation was a non-linear desktop application that required providers to use knowledge and critical thinking to identify and prioritize trauma injuries for treatment intervention in the ICU. Key focus areas included management of critical decision-making, leadership, and recall of core medical knowledge under the substantial stress. Players could utilize voice commands or typed commands to treat the patient.

Case 1: Tarik Stephenson

In this case, the player arrives at a code blue situation and is given the role of a team lead. Through the patient’s medical history and labs, the player discovers the patient is hyperkalemic, and needs to determine the appropriate algorithm to resuscitate them.

Case 2: Cheryl Walker

In this case, the player meets a patient who is alert and presenting symptoms. This case is unique in that it branches. The player has the opportunity to correctly treat the patient’s condition, which is myocardial infarction, or choose incorrectly. If chosen incorrectly, the patient deteriorates and a rapid response is called. The player then must resuscitate the patient and choose the appropriate treatment.

Case 3: Stacey Reston

In this case, the player responds to a code blue and becomes the team lead. Through learning the background of the patient’s arrival, discussing with the mother of the patient, and examining the vitals, the player learns the patient has experienced an opioid overdose and needs naloxone for treatment. This case also highlights distractions that can be found in an ER and shows the player how to effectively communicate to keep the area clear and focused.
