Getting real clean : a virtual reality training pilot study for cleaning and low-level disinfection of portable medical equipment

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Portable medical equipment (PME) is inconsistently cleaned and disinfected, resulting in contamination that increases the risk of healthcare-associated infections. A virtual reality PME cleaning and disinfection training module was designed and tested at multiple healthcare facilities. Barriers identified during an initial phase led to improvements in the second phase.
