Abstract
Background
Healthcare simulation escape rooms (HSERs) provide an immersive, real-life, puzzle-solving and storytelling experience. As with traditional escape rooms, they are typically developed for small groups of participants (players) whose goal is to solve puzzles to complete a challenge, which often requires exiting a locked room and/or completion within a given timeframe. Simulation escape rooms have become increasingly popular over the past five years in health professions education.
Aim
In this presentation we will share lessons we have learned while designing and delivering interprofessional HSER.
Findings
We have found that HSERs work well in simulated environments and with simulation equipment and resources. Best practices and core healthcare principles can be utilised with the overall goal of safe patient care1 . However, developing and delivering authentic and engaging HSERs can be challenging – since it is not just about designing the puzzles!
Discussion
Aspects of HSERS that we will discuss include:
1. Optimising buy-in for IPE HSERs across health professions education.
2. Design and development of authentic and engaging puzzles for healthcare education – narrative,
flow, puzzles, equipment, and technology.
3. Logistics of implementation and delivery.
4. Essentials for effective interprofessional debrief.
5. Optimising feedback and evaluation.
6. Growing a community of HSER designers and facilitators.
Issues/Questions for exploration OR Ideas for further discussion
Comments, questions, comparative experiences and discussions on any of the aspects listed under Discussion are welcomed.
