Objective: The introduction of Virtual Tour (VR Tour) technology and interactive online educational content aims to improve the quality and efficiency of pharmacy department orientation. This initiative seeks to reduce the manpower and resources required for hosting visiting units while minimizing the impact of these activities on clinical workloads.
Method: Adobe Captivate software and RICOH THETA V photo stitching technology were employed to generate a 360-degree virtual environment, establishing a static virtual tour of the pharmacy department.
Result: The time required for visiting units to complete the tour was significantly reduced from 69 minutes to 20 minutes.The number of lecturers needed decreased from 10 to 1, and the paper usage per visitor was reduced from 12 sheets to zero.
Conclusion: Efficiency improvements were observed in terms of reduced tour duration, lecturer manpower, and paper consumption, contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing pollution and energy consumption in alignment with sustainable development goals. Quality improvements were also noted, with increased satisfaction among lecturers and visitors. In the future, the tour content will be continuously updated to ensure innovation and engagement, while enhancements in viewing quality and ease of operation will further optimize visitor experiences and satisfaction.
