Enhancing Hand-Hygiene Training for Medical Staff
Gamified VR Experience
Challenge
The hospital’s hand-hygiene compliance rates remain at <50% despite different training and auditing methods, potentially leading to increased incidences of hospital-acquired infections (HAI) with antimicrobial drugs resistance
Solution
Immersive and engaging VR game to educate medical personnel on standard operating procedures (SOPs) to maintain hand-hygiene, and the implications of not following recommended protocols
Outcomes
Improved engagement through a gamified and fun learning experience
Higher retention and recall of best practices in hand-hygiene due to the interactive and immersive format of education
Reduced costs of training medical personnel on hand-hygiene, by replacing traditional classroom trainings with available-on-demand VR training
