Abstract
Virtual reality (VR) is emerging as a treatment modality across a variety of healthcare settings. Integrating a new technology as a form of therapy requires informed analysis to ensure that it is an effective, efficient, safe and valuable addition to the client experience.

Through this multifocal lens, gaps are identified and a glimpse is provided into VR's potential for widespread adoption across healthcare settings.
