“…The conferences are often locally organized, although guidelines to their organization and running have been provided [8]. The most rigorous are described from Leicester [9] and our meetings do not follow such strict rules. The importance of such rules is still a matter of debate, but we do not feel that following them would have improved the clinical results.…”

“…A participant suggested possible use of virtual worlds to host Multidisciplinary Team Meetings provides an example of an alternative multidisciplinary collaborative health setting that could benefit from provision of a platform for high-quality remote interaction [45,46]. This is a context where the quality of shared decision making is crucial and can be affected by inter-personal team dynamics [35]; future work could investigate the extent to which a virtual world platform affects these dynamics.…”

Background Healthcare teams often consist of geographically dispersed members. Virtual worlds can support immersive, high-quality, multimedia interaction between remote individuals; this study investigated use of virtual worlds to support remote healthcare quality improvement team meetings. Methods Twenty individuals (12 female, aged 25–67 [M = 42.3, SD = 11.8]) from 6 healthcare quality improvement teams conducted collaborative tasks in virtual world or face-to-face settings. Quality of collaborative task performances were measured and questionnaires and interviews were used to record participants’ experiences of conducting the tasks and using the virtual world software. Results Quality of collaborative task outcomes was high in both face-to-face and virtual world settings. Participant interviews elicited advantages for using virtual worlds in healthcare settings, including the ability of the virtual environment to support tools that cannot be represented in equivalent face-to-face meetings, and the potential for virtual world settings to cause improvements in group-dynamics. Reported disadvantages for future virtual world use in healthcare included the difficulty that people with weaker computer skills may experience with using the software. Participants tended to feel absorbed in the collaborative task they conducted within the virtual world, but did not experience the virtual environment as being ‘real’. Conclusions Virtual worlds can provide an effective platform for collaborative meetings in healthcare quality improvement, but provision of support to those with weaker computer skills should be ensured, as should the technical reliability of the virtual world being used. Future research could investigate use of virtual worlds in other healthcare settings.
