Abstract:

Aim: To analyse how virtual reality improves businesses in healthcare industries. Methods: Qualitative meta-analysis design, purposive sampling and thematic data analysis were used. The PICO guide helped focus the research question. Search engines were used to select studies/articles from Google Scholars, Scopus and Researchgate. Biases in selecting studies are discussed. Inclusion and exclusion criteria on selecting studies on virtual reality supporting healthcare businesses helped control biases by eliminating other studies found on search engines. A critiquing framework analysed the studies selected. Outcome: Of the 100 studies found on search engines, only 10 were used to compare with the core areas of healthcare businesses. Odds ratio showed 100% of the 10 studies on virtual reality that gave a significant improvement on healthcare industries.
