ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Surgical Theater is demonstrating Precision VR®, a proven Virtual Reality Medical Visualization Solution to increase patient satisfaction, improve patient retention, and reduce patient outmigration for attendees of the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) in Orlando, Florida, from February 11-14. HIMSS provides Surgical Theater with a great venue to highlight the value of patient engagement and empowerment with the use of Precision Virtual Reality® medical visualization platform. This 360°VR technology allows patients to walk inside their own anatomy alongside their surgeon. By putting on the VR headsets, both the patient and surgeon can literally walk together, inside the patient's anatomical structure, enhancing their understanding of their condition and treatment plan. The VR walk-through facilitates shared-decision making and is proven to increase patient satisfaction, increase patient engagement, and improve an institution's financial performance.
Attendees at the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society are invited to engage in discussions and learn about the positive impact implementing Precision VR® offers. Robert Louis, MD, Neurosurgeon and Program Director of the Skull Base and Pituitary Tumor Program at Hoag Hospital, will review the value of Precision VR® and how its utility improved patient retention while reducing patient out-migration in his practice.

About Surgical Theater
Surgical Theater, the market leader in virtual and augmented reality healthcare services, is the first to combine cutting-edge fighter jet flight simulation technology with a patient's own anatomy scans. Rendered from comprehensive combined modalities of CT, MRI as well as advanced post processing images such as DTI and BOLD, the 360° virtual reality fly-through is designed to allow surgeons to walk and fly-through a reconstruction of the patient's own anatomy and pathology. Surgeons literally walk in the space between the white matter tracks and the tumor, being fully immersed, gaining unprecedented situational awareness and clarity of assessment. By simply turning their head, the surgeon can further explore the anatomy and plan the craniotomy, surgical path, trajectory, corridor, and the entire surgical strategy.
