Validating the Impact of Immersive Team Training
Commitment to Rigorous Validation
We believe that truly effective training solutions must be proven. MaiaZura partners with leading healthcare institutions like UNC Health to conduct robust research, ensuring our VR training delivers quantifiable improvements in clinical team performance and contributes meaningfully to patient safety outcomes.
Significant Improvements in Surgical Team Safety Behaviors
A key study, conducted in collaboration with UNC Health and presented at the Healthcare Systems Process Improvement (HSPI) Conference 2025, evaluated the impact of Bizon 360T on surgical teams. The research employed a pre- and post-intervention design, utilizing validated assessment tools to measure changes in critical teamwork skills
UNC Health Partnership
Study conducted with surgeons and residents at UNC Health to assess real-world impact. Findings presented at HSPI 2025.
Validated Assessment
Utilized the TENTS (Teamwork Evaluation in Non-Technical Skills) tool to objectively measure safety behaviors before and after Bizon 360T training.
90% Behavior Improvement
Statistically significant improvements observed in 90% (18 out of 20) of safety behaviors measured for participants who received the Bizon 360T intervention.
Communication & Awareness
Notable improvements seen in communication effectiveness, situation monitoring, leadership actions, and mutual support within surgical teams.
Effective & Scalable
The study suggests Bizon 360T is an effective, scalable intervention to improve safety behaviors and help reduce patient harm.
Evidence-Based Foundation
Built Upon the Proven TeamSTEPPS® Framework for Optimal Team Performance
The effectiveness of Bizon 360T is anchored in its integration of TeamSTEPPS® (Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety), an evidence-based framework developed by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
TeamSTEPPS is designed explicitly to optimize team performance across healthcare settings by improving crucial competencies: Communication, Team Leadership, Situation Monitoring, and Mutual Support. Global implementation and numerous studies highlight TeamSTEPPS's role in enhancing teamwork perceptions, reducing clinical errors, and fostering a culture of safety.
By embedding these principles within our realistic VR simulations, Bizon 360T provides targeted practice in the skills that matter most for effective collaboration and patient safety
