Infusion Pump Learning Simulator

May 13, 2016

Infusion Pump Learning Simulator

The ‘internet of things’ medical – dynamically integrating our video and digital simulator with real infusion pump systems.

Link

The challenge

Train medical staff in using anaesthetic infusion systems without compromising patient safety.

What we did

We created ‘Target Controlled Infusion’, a powerful infusion pump training simulator, combining computer simulation, real operation footage, and optional hardware integration with a range of infusion systems. Supports both Dynamic Training and Simulated Assessment.

How it turned out

The simulator allowed for realistic training without the danger of learning on real patients.

“From the start Binary impressed me by their commitment to firm deadlines and their promises to deliver to time, quality and budget. We faced a number of issues with regard to product approval and Binary each time came up with creative solutions that more than met our objectives.
The team I worked with at Binary Vision were dedicated, experts in their field and prepared to experiment with the very latest software in order to keep our site at the cutting edge.
I would recommend Binary Vision to anybody considering developing a web site.”

Healthcare Skills

May 10, 2016

NHS Healthcare Skills

Ground-breaking e-learning courses for UK healthcare professionals, achieving unprecedented levels of peer recommendation.

Link

The challenge

Make generic clinical skills training so engaging, that NHS staff are motivated to complete these voluntary e-learning courses, and to retain the key learnings.

What we did

BV created a state-of-the-art e-learning portal delivering generic skills courses in five key areas to all of the UK’s health professionals.

Developed under the guidance of a large Steering Group of stakeholders from across the NHS and beyond, the courses use a mix of e-learning modalities for maximum impact and effectiveness, including: vote-based viewpoint learning, dramatised TV-quality video case studies, and interactive reflective learning.

Link

How it turned out

We surveyed more than 2,500 trainees and over 96% agreed that “my delivery of patient care will change and improve“, with 97.5% saying they would recommend the courses to a colleague:

“I wanted to write to you to thank you and your team for the excellent work that Binary Vision has produced in the development of these important educational programmes for healthcare professionals. Your timely responsiveness, creativity, willingness to address issues as they arose and unfailing good humour made working with BV a delight. I hope that we will have the opportunity to work on other projects in the future.”

Good Attitude

NHS: ‘Good Attitude’

Creating mini-dramas from actual hospital complaints, to improve patient experiences across the NHS.

Link

The challenge

Most hospital complaints concern how staff behave towards patients – every day issues of respect, rather than clinical negligence. We were asked to make a London Hospital’s rather dry ‘Code of Behaviour’ an engaging and effective learning experience.

What we did

In partnership with Homerton Hospital we created a series of TV-quality dramatised case stories, showing both poor- and good-practice examples for each of the nine items on the hospital’s code of behaviour.

Using a hugely experienced (including for TV) film crew and talent – from script to screen – we created the mini dramas from real-life hospital complaints. In so doing, we anonymised the original complaints – and we were able to make the learning points more emotionally resonant and impactful.

How it turned out

In addition to superb uptake within the Homerton, dozens of NHS trusts and teaching organisations across the UK have subsequently licensed ‘Good Attitude’ – with the Homerton recouping their investment.

Highly Commended: AHC Awards

Finalist: HSJ Awards

“We felt totally involved the whole way through the project. Your skill and expertise enabled us to realise a vision way beyond our original one. You were clear about what was and wasn’t achievable and how much things would cost us. You stuck to budget and, I have to say, I think we have got incredible value for money.”

Guy Young, Homerton Hospital (NHS)

MRC’s Interactive Career Framework

May 1, 2016

MRC’s Interactive Career Framework

Bold interaction design with a focus on real people.

Link

The challenge

How to make something as diverse and complex as biomedical research careers really easy to understand, so researchers can make informed career choices?

What we did

Following an ‘agile’ (Lean) UX process of information and interaction design, we worked hand-in-glove with MRC’s Skills and Careers team to visualise, user test and then iteratively develop an Interactive Career Framework. And we brought it to life with real-life case studies, of researchers showing how their own careers developed.

Please also see our case study on the MRC website revamp.

Link

How it turned out

The ICF performed well in our post-launch site survey (for instance, for ‘overall user experience’, 87.3% of users gave it 3 – 5 stars out of 5, with 17.5% giving the maximum of 5 out of 5. n=126).

And its launch had a big impact on the MRC’s twitter profile – spot the launch date:

Building bridges across UK research

Having launched the career framework, we worked with these eight UK research funders to incorporate all of their funding schemes into a new ‘funding view’:

In the process, led by MRC, we created a common language and frame-of-reference for UK research funding, all for the very first time.

It was an object lesson in bringing stakeholders together, forging agreement by sharing with them the findings from our user research.

“We’ve received lots of feedback from users via Twitter about how useful the map is. This was a very complex piece of work and the team met all our requirements to the timescale required, without sacrificing on quality.”
