Establishing the value of a new virtual reality preparation process for non-sedated pediatric medical imaging preparation

This project is part of a larger hospital initiative to use innovative technology for patient education and involves establishing business cases for the use of novel digital health technologies in pediatric hospitals. The work will involve implementing evidence-informed strategies to address pediatric patient safety and develop new and applicable knowledge to enhance the productivity of services at BC Children’s Hospital. Benefits will be broadly impactful to society, as it will enable us to build on our preliminary research results and build business cases for implementing new technologies in clinical operations. At our hospital, there is potential to significantly improve patient safety and patient experience while simultaneously increasing access to services through operational efficiency, as well as reducing costs to the health care system and to our patient families.
