Studies and research on return on investment of our medical simulation.
Return on Investment Study for Medical Simulation Training: Endoscopy AccuTouch System (PDF)
From October 2003 to March 2004, Frost & Sullivan conducted a return on investment (ROI) study on three training simulators sold by Immersion. The study included in-depth interviews and surveys of 237 attending staff physicians, residency directors, nursing directors, nurses, risk managers, and CFOs or controllers in hospitals, universities, and community colleges across the U.S. The median payback period for Immersion’s Endoscopy AccuTouch System was found to be 131 days.
“Due to the many benefits of minimally invasive procedures, their use continues to rise. . . .And because most such procedures require advanced surgical skills, devices that help teach the necessary technique are likely to be increasingly valued”
Return on Investment Study for Medical Simulation Training: Laparoscopy AccuTouch System (PDF)

Return on Investment Study for Medical Simulation Training: CathSim® AccuTouch System (PDF)
From October 2003 to March 2004, Frost & Sullivan conducted a return on investment (ROI) study on three training simulators sold by Immersion. The study included in-depth interviews and surveys of 237 attending staff physicians, residency directors, nursing directors, nurses, risk managers, and CFOs or controllers in hospitals, universities, and community colleges across the U.S. The median payback period for Immersion’s CathSim AccuTouch System, now the Laerdal Virtual IV system, was found to be 57 days.
“Users report that they value this haptics technology for learning the feel of vascular access procedures, and they believe it contributes directly to a reduction in costs.”
