(QxP), a leader in innovative pharmaceutical education, won a coveted Brandon Hall Group Gold award for excellence in the Best Advance in Augmented and Virtual Reality category with its Virtuosi Series One: Sterile Manufacturing and Microbiology virtual reality training product. QxP's win was announced on December 10, 2020. The winners are listed at https://www.brandonhall.com/excellenceawards/past-winners.php. Virtuosi Series One is a comprehensive educational platform combining 31 video lectures and 18 virtual reality (VR) interactive experiences, encompassing 80 hours of content, that provides training to operators and microbiologists in pharmaceutical sterile manufacturing. The educational course content was developed by the thought leaders of QxP and vetted by a former FDA national expert and beta tested with MHRA (the UK's health authority), a leading authority on sterile manufacturing. "We are honored to receive the Brandon Hall award for Best Advance in VR and AR Technologies for our product Virtuosi," said Crystal Mersh, President of QxP. "To receive such an award alongside companies like Pfizer and Verizon, is truly humbling. Quality Executive Partners, Inc., is proud to be among such innovative companies who are pushing the edges of spatial computing to make a positive impact on the lives of people." Virtuosi enables interactive hands-on learning to increase knowledge retention over traditional methods as well as provides a true understanding of the critical aspects of aseptic techniques and behaviors. This learning modality is the best way to ensure development of a highly educated workforce to manufacture and test high-quality products, thus protecting patient safety and drug supply. "Virtuosi is cutting edge technology combined with state-of-the-art science, but it's real beauty comes from the direct impact it makes to bottom-line growth through meeting or exceeding business objectives including decreased time to competency, reduced human error, faster time to market and increased productivity, which all leads to improved ptient outcomes. This is what Pharma 4.0 is all about," Mersh continued. VR allows learners to develop difficult skills in a risk-free environment, meaning learners can be instantaneously immersed in controlled, classified environments without risk of contamination or damaging sensitive equipment. In many aspects, VR can act as a more consistent coach or mentor than a human. The tracking technologies deployed by VR have matured whereby the level of tracking can track precise individual movements within three dimensions that allow the computer to evaluate the learner on a wide variety of critical variables. "Technology is the great enabler of human capital management initiatives. It has never been more important than during this rapid evolution of remote work that challenged everyone to instantly adapt," said Brandon Hall Group Chief Operating Officer and awards program head Rachel Cooke. "Winners of Excellence in Technology Awards are critical drivers of their organizations' success, especially in these disruptive times. Their solutions resulted in substantial benefit to their business and the human capital management function. That is the ultimate differentiator: the positive business impact of technology." "The Excellence Award in Technology also emphasizes the value of collaboration between HCM leaders, business leaders and technology developers. To win, everyone must work together to meet the needs of all stakeholders, especially the end-users. Technology Award winners met this challenge and created value for everyone," said Brandon Hall Group Chief Executive Officer Mike Cooke.
