Virtual reality is quickly becoming a much-touted tool for providers, and as it uses become better known and tested, it’s likely the healthcare VR market will grow exponentially in the next few years. Indeed, the technology is already begin used by surgeons in Texas and London prior to and during surgeries. Meanwhile, providers are also using the tech for patients as a way to improve pain management.

Simulation is the artificial representation of a complex real-world process with sufficient fidelity with the aim to facilitate learning through immersion, reflection, feedback and practice minus the risks inherent in a similar real-life experience. Medical simulation offers numerous potential strategies for comprehensive and practical training, and safer patient care. It is a technique, rather than just a technology that promotes experiential and reflective learning.

The healthcare system runs on people power. From nurses and physicians to food service and housekeeping, the hearts, minds and hands of real people are the engines behind many aspects of healthcare delivery and organizational infrastructure. As the use of artificial intelligence and robotics increase, how we approach the management of human resources will say a great deal about our values, workplace culture and the healthcare industry writ large.

All November long, Healthcare IT News and other HIMSS Media brands have been focused on artificial intelligence. AI, of course, is a complex proposition for many. Some are wildly excited about what it might augur for humanity. Some are much more skeptical – if not downright wary – of what the future of learning machines might portend. Just look at the discordant war of words that erupted this past year between two of the tech world's towering titans, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.

Practice makes perfect, but in the healthcare field there's not much room for error. The growing field of high-fidelity patient simulators is helping care providers prepare for emergencies in relatively low-stress environments. Regional Health is adding a new model to its simulation program: an obstetric unit that simulates childbirth.

Groundbreaking computer models that simulate the workings of individual patients' hearts could boost treatment of a common cardiac condition that affects a million people in the U.K. and countless more worldwide. With funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and in collaboration with St Thomas' Hospital, a team at King's College London has taken the first steps in developing models designed to optimize a procedure that corrects atrial fibrillation, a condition which causes abnormal heart rhythms.

Patient Engagement IT
A health literacy program that required second-year medical students to spend an additional 45 minutes delivering patient education helped improve chronic disease management and health outcomes, a study published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association. While healthcare providers play a key role in helping patients manage their chronic conditions, patients must also take an active part in maintaining their health status.

Preventing avoidable readmissions is a focal point of most, if not all health systems big and small. These episodes are often costly to the patient and provider and open up additional opportunities for exposure to hospital-acquired infections. However, some patient populations, especially those with chronic disease and those impeded by socioeconomic factors, are even more at risk.
