DeBugged: Infection Prevention & Control
Current training in infection prevention (IP) practices for healthcare staff has limited effectiveness in improving IP behaviors.
Funded by the CDC, a goal of this project is to develop and implement a virtual reality (VR)-based application, DeBugged, with the intention of improving infection control behaviors among hospital staff and parents of high-risk patients. DeBugged leverages known strategies to enhance retention and efficacy of training through an immersive, hands-on educational experience. In addition, the application will be used to build necessary cultural competence among healthcare providers tasked with teaching and monitoring infection prevention and control practices for patients and their visitors/families.
