Creating the metaverse for clinician skills
VR based procedural training and assessment simulations for clinicians for EID training
Simulation based training and assessment for clinicians
For more than 60 years, UCLA Health has provided health care and the latest in medical technology to the people of Los Angeles and throughout the world by operating nearly 200 hospitals. As part of their mission to deliver leading-edge patient care, research and education, they needed best-in-class training to prepare thousands of clinicians to effectively deal with challenges such as emerging threats of infectious diseases These simulations are listed below
Simulations for Emerging Infe Diseases (EID) Preparedness
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Donning Training
The objective of this simulation is to train nurses and staff on the correct steps of wearing a PPE.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Donning Assessment
The objective of this simulation is to assess the staff who plays the safety monitor to have learnt the correct procedures and protocol for donning a PPE
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Doffing Training
The objective of this simulation is to Practice each step of taking off PPE. Identify how to safely modify doffing steps when something goes wrong or a step is incorrectly done.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Doffing Assessment
The objective of this simulation is to assess the staff who plays the buddy in the anteroom to have learnt the correct procedures and protocol for doffing a PPE.
Waste Management(PPE Waste)
wer
The objective of this simulation is to practice each step of packaging PPE waste. Identify how to safely modify waste packaging
Waste Management(Patient Waste)
wer
The objective of this simulation is to practice each step of packaging solid waste. Identify how to safely modify waste packaging.
Spill Response Training
The objective of this simulation is to perform risk assessment of spill. Notify others that spill has occurred. Develop plan for spill clean up.
Spill Response Assessment
The objective of this simulation is to assess the staff who plays the nurse in the patient room to have learnt the correct procedures and protocol for doffing a PPE.
Patient Sample Handling
The objective of this simulation is to Collect specimen from patient. Safely transport specimen to clinical lab staff. Package specimen per regulatory requirements
Decedent Management
The objective of this simulation is to coordinate prepping and packaging the body with the clinical team and safety monitor. Practice the steps to package the body and transport out of the isolation area
Nurse Training simulations for CDiff Standard Operating Procedures
This project assesses a registered nurse on the procedure and protocol to be followed by a nurse while attending a patient with CDiff illness. Learners learn the correct diagnostic process through which they diagnose the CDiff in a patient. They need to follow the right procedure involved in treating a CDiff patient and ensure safety protocols are followed. In the assessment module, the learner needs to perform the right procedures and safety protocols that they had learned in the training module. Based on their performance in the assessment module they are given a score. Training and Assessment was developed to train the clinician on effective ways of treating a CDiff patient.

3D Immersive Interactive and Intelligent Training for Clinicians
This project addresses communication and team training through the development of a set of virtual reality simulations using the HyperSkill platform developed by SimInsights. HyperSkill provides the capability to replicate/simulate the clinical environment within the virtual reality space, without the need to write code. Furthermore, the immersive training provides users with ideal verbal responses to challenging situations through the real-time feedback panel.
SimInsights used existing recorded media to create new storyboards and flowcharts, which were implemented using HyperSkill to create three immersive 3D simulations. The clinical environment was replicated in the VR space by visiting a UCLA clinic and capturing reference images using a 360 camera which were provided as references to 3D artists. Additionally, a feedback panel was developed to debrief the learners by providing ideal responses, scoring learner responses, and measuring their confidence
In the assessment module, the learner needs to perform the right procedures and safety protocols that they had learned in the training module.
Based on their performance in the assessment module they are given a score.
