Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Technology
  • Neurology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Delays in acute stroke treatment negatively impact patient outcomes and increase healthcare costs.
  • Variability in clinical care, especially in rural, regional, and remote (RRR) areas, contributes to treatment delays.
  • Virtual reality (VR) offers immersive training solutions to overcome existing barriers in healthcare professional education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of the TACTICS VR platform, a novel VR-based application for stroke workflow training.
  • To assess the feasibility, usability, and acceptability of workplace-based VR training in Australian hospitals.
  • To evaluate the impact of TACTICS VR training on healthcare professionals' confidence in stroke management.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the TACTICS VR platform, including a VR application, website, and data analytics portal, through a structured scoping and consultation process.
  • Pilot implementation of TACTICS VR training in 7 Australian hospitals.
  • Feasibility assessment through user feedback on usability, acceptability, and utility, and measurement of self-reported confidence levels pre- and post-training.

Main Results:

  • 104 healthcare professionals completed the TACTICS VR training, reporting high levels of usability, acceptability, and utility.
  • Users demonstrated increased confidence in improving stroke management post-training (mean score 4.1 vs. 3.6 pre-training).
  • Minimal technical issues were encountered, supporting the feasibility of on-site VR training.

Conclusions:

  • The TACTICS VR platform is a fit-for-purpose, evidence-based training application for optimizing stroke workflows.
  • Workplace-based VR training using TACTICS VR is feasible and well-received by healthcare professionals.
  • TACTICS VR has the potential to enhance stroke care delivery, particularly in underserved RRR settings.
