Development Process
Perceived need, training objectives and target audience are defined and developed into a detailed statement of work. The process is informed by content experts, clinical expert opinions, published literature and feedback from stakeholders. For existing modules this has included workshops and roundtable discussions with healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, radiologists, allied health and site stroke coordinators.
Existing content suitable for use is sourced from stakeholders and supporting organisations (and permissions obtained, as relevant). A detailed production plan is developed for the creation of all required video and image components. This process typically occurs in parallel with VR coding.
A small group of relevant users are invited for internal testing, to provide feedback on user experience and content, including functionality, appeal and utility. Necessary modifications are integrated to address feedback.
The finalised application is circulated to relevant stakeholders and via communications channels. Ongoing use is supported by ATS and project stakeholder organisations to inform optimal implementation and collect data on training utility and effects on healthcare staff behaviours and patient outcomes. Where possible, training outcomes are assessed and reported in relevant academic publications (e.g. journal articles).
