Patient Safety Escape Room: A Graduate Medical Education Simulation for Event Reporting.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Although residents are on the front lines of patient care, they enter few formal patient safety reports on the adverse events and near misses they witness. Demonstrating the rationale and mechanics of reporting may improve this.

Methods

We designed and implemented an escape room patient safety simulation to incorporate active learning, gamification, and adult learning theory into intern patient safety onboarding. Interns from all sponsoring institution programs participated, identifying, mitigating, and reporting a range of patient safety hazards. Props and faculty time were the major resources required.

Results

One hundred twenty interns participated in this simulation in June 2018. Forty-one percent reported previous training on reporting errors, and on
