Study Details

The primary aim of this research is to show that a virtual reality (VR) service line is feasible and can sustain itself with the ability to take care of patients. Additionally, the investigators aim to learn about the limitations of a service line and provide a pathway for future improvements in building a VR service line that is optimally aligned with the user's needs. Secondary aims are to evaluate the clinical aspects of the patient's outcomes including length of stay, morphine equivalents in pain medicine required during the hospital stay, and user experiences.
