Medical Simulation: Vascular Access ROI
A six-month study to determine the payback period for Immersion Medical's first vascular access simulator, the CathSim® AccuTouch® System, concluded with a report on the elements that contribute to ROI, the median ROI periods, and an interactive model that you can use to calculate your own payback period. Using this report, you may be able to generalize on the ROI of other vascular access simulators. Register here to gain immediate access to the report.

This study was possible because Immersion Medical simulators have been in use by hospitals and training programs for a sufficient period of time to allow an in-depth evaluation of their performance. To that end, detailed 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. were used. The Health Research and Educational Trust (HRET), the research affiliate of the American Hospital Association, provided access to the study's control group — 145 medical personnel who did not use Immersion Medical simulators.
