Abstract

Portable medical equipment (PME) is inconsistently cleaned and disinfected, resulting in contamination that increases the risk of healthcare-associated infections. A virtual reality PME cleaning and disinfection training module was designed and tested at multiple healthcare facilities. Barriers identified during an initial phase led to improvements in the second phase.
