One key feature the authors found most helpful was to make a simple map/drawing of the various activities.Ī map with a key is useful when multiple educators will use the same sequences in the escape room, and is a very helpful tool to aid in resetting the room quickly between groups.
They may be linear, in which puzzles must be solved in sequence, or nonlinear, where the sequence of solving puzzles and opening locks does not have to be in a specific order except for the last one, which opens the door out of the escape room.
ESCAPE SIMULATOR ROOMS PORTABLE
The authors report that escape rooms can be inexpensive, portable and engaging and bring different teams together and help to identify practice gaps. According to evaluations received after the event, the escape room fostered teamwork and was one of the most popular activities of the day. The escape room was offered to multiple participants at a Virginia staff training day. Participants had 30 minutes to work together to solve puzzles and clues to find their way out of a locked room in the Alamo Museum, which had closed with the participants locked inside. Titled “Escape Room Toolkit: Build Adaptable Resources Through Innovation,” the discussion centered around the benefits of using escape rooms to meet healthcare simulation learning objectives.Īccording to the presentation, last year, while waiting at the San Antonio Airport for a flight home from the IMSH 2019 conference in San Antonio, Ashworth and Gabriele joined with others to create an escape room, which they titled “Remember The Alamo!” The nonclinical escape room focused on teamwork and collaboration.
The presentation was given by Traci Ashworth, MSN, BSN, RN, and Simulation Nurse Educator and Kateri Gabriele, BSN, MS, Healthcare Simulation Consultant both of the VA Northeast Ohio Healthcare System. As the 2021 International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare ( IMSH) virtual conference continues, a recent presentation explored escape room ideas for puzzles and clues as they relate to clinical simulation.
