Facilitator Guide to Using the XR Innovation for Healthcare Videos: Caring For Patients who are Deaf or hard of hearing

Facilitator Guide to Using the XR Innovation for Healthcare Videos: Caring For Patients who are Deaf or hard of hearing Aebersold, Michelle This series of 360 videos were created to support health care providers in their care of patients who are Deaf or hard of hearing. The videos provide an immersive experience to allow health care providers to: 1. Engage in an immersive experience to view short episodes of care involving patients who are Deaf or hard of hearing. 2. Demonstrate practices that can improve the experiences for patients who are Deaf or hard of hearing through reflection. 3. Demonstrate best practices in working with health profession students who are hard of hearing. The layout of the video clips, follow a pattern of showing experiences that are less than optimal followed by episodes demonstrating more optimal practices. The videos are not meant to be all encompassing but rather an opportunity to experience situations that will provide the learner with opportunities for discussion and exploration of best practices in providing care. There are four videos in this series. They were developed based on input from the Deaf community, healthcare professionals and medically qualified interpreters. Each video has an introduction, several scenes and debriefing questions after each clip to support reflection and discussion. *Please note, the videos were developed during the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic, which required all of the actors to wear masks. This was not always part of the video scripting, however it did allow us to demonstrate the use of clear, see through masks in some of the videos.
