The Use of Virtual Reality to Reduce Anxiety and Pain in Pediatric Dermatologic Outpatient Procedures

Background: Effective inpatient to outpatient care transitions is crucial for patient wellbeing, yet challenges in communication and workflow often result in poor scheduling and higher no-show rates, impacting health outcomes.This project assessed an intervention's effect on dermatology no-show rates post-discharge.The objective of the study was to develop and evaluate an EHR-based intervention aimed at improving dermatology care transitions post-discharge.Methods: Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and Chi-Square/ Fisher's exact tests in SAS 9.4, considering P < 0.05 as statistically significant.Only the first record per patient was used to ensure group independence.1 Equal variance two sample t-test; 2 Chi-Square p-value; 3 Fisher Exact p-value
