Development of a new tool aimed at learning to work as a team and making diagnoses in emergency medicine: the didactic escape game
ABSTRACT
Background:
In emergency medicine, teamwork is paramount. We sought to develop a new educational tool that would promote team communication in emergency medicine. Escape game is an adventure game that may be useful as an educational tool. Escape games are increasingly being used in health education but the method of creating such games has not been clearly established.
Objective:
We created an educational escape game that trains emergency medicine teams to work together. The framework for creating such an educational escape game in healthcare is reported here.
Methods:
An escape game is particularly suitable for the field of emergency. From an educational point of view, it is the ideal tool for teaching people in multidisciplinary fields (medical and paramedical teams) to work collaboratively and to communicate as a group. This tool complements simulation-based training in medicine.
Results:
We have developed an educational escape game by using six successive steps. First, build a team. Second, choose the pedagogical objectives. Third, gamify (switch from objectives to scenario). Fourth, find the human and material resources needed. Fifth, create briefing and debriefing. Sixth, test the game.
Conclusions:
This innovative tool complements medical simulation-based training and consolidates previous education. Clinical Trial: N/A
