Overview
Brief Summary
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effect and impact of a technology which creates a virtual reality (VR), personalized representation of a patient's endoscopic findings in comparison our standard practice (SP).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Patient and family knowledge, understanding, and satisfaction
Time Frame: 1 month
Our study will measure the levels of patient and family engagement using a survey designed specifically for the study. The survey is at a roughly 3rd grade reading level and includes approximately 10 questions with answers on a Likert scale. The internally designed survey will specifically measure patient and family opinions on learning about the results of their procedure, as well as objective anatomical knowledge. The minimum score for each question is a 1, designating "Strongly disagree." The maximum score for each question is a 10, designating "Strongly agree." Thus, higher scores represent better outcomes.
Secondary Outcomes
- Patient Satisfaction Scale(1 month)
- Longitudinal Readmission Rate(up to 5 years)
- Longitudinal Medication Adherence(up to 5 years)
- Client Satisfaction Questionnaire(1 month)
