St. Mary's Hospital
St. Mary’s Hospital sought to modernize its annual nursing continuing-education program. Their static slide decks and handbooks left learners disengaged, and skills checks in the clinical lab were hard to track and standardize across shifts.
Challenge
-
Low Learner Engagement: Static slide decks and printed handbooks failed to capture nurses’ attention, resulting in minimal interaction with the material and poor knowledge retention.
-
Inconsistent Skills Assessment: Clinical lab evaluations varied by instructor and shift, making it difficult to ensure all nurses demonstrated competency in critical procedures like IV insertion and wound care.
-
Cumbersome Compliance Tracking: Manual record-keeping of continuing-education credits and certification renewals was error-prone and time-intensive, complicating audit readiness and regulatory compliance.
Trapdoor Technologies Solution
Storybook Clinical Protocol Manuals
-
Converted PDF handbooks on IV insertion, catheter care, and wound management into interactive Storybook PDFs with embedded procedure videos, audio expert tips, and in-context quizzes after each step.
VR Code Blue Simulations
-
Deployed VR modules that place nurses in realistic “Code Blue” cardiac arrest scenarios, guiding them through chest-compressions, defibrillator use, and team communication under timed conditions.
InsightIQ Performance Dashboards
-
Monitored engagement heat-maps and quiz scores to identify protocols or procedures where cohorts struggled most, then auto-scheduled targeted micro-learning refreshers for those specific skills.
St. Mary’s Hospital partnered with Trapdoor Technologies to overhaul its nursing education program by converting static protocols into interactive Storybook manuals, deploying VR “Code Blue” simulations for hands-on practice, and leveraging AI-driven dashboards for real-time performance insights. As a result, nurse engagement skyrocketed by 80%, critical-step errors dropped by 50% during live skills checks, and compliance tracking became fully automated—ensuring audit-ready records without manual overhead. By blending multimedia learning, immersive practice, and data-backed coaching, St. Mary’s achieved faster, more consistent competency across its nursing staff.
