Las Vegas – Because the simulator escape rooms have Success when using clinical trainingMichael Allen, chief clinical information nurse at the University of Indiana, believed that it may also help the graduates of new nurses in a game how to perform them during the interruption of electronic health records.
His intuition was correct. Allen said during his session on Himss25 Last week.
Improving the nurse’s confidence
After hospitals and health systems across the country began to launch electronic health records, many aspects of patient safety improved.
“When it decreases, there is a risk of harm,” Allen said.
Techniques like Smart roomsAnd that has been proven to improve care format between patients, families and service providers, is also designed to make clinical workforce a more efficient contraction.
Jeff Fallon, Chairman and CEO of VIBE Health by Evideon, said, ” Health care news In December.
When green nurses face procedures for stopping work caused by power outages, electronic attacks and other events, they are vulnerable to error – for example, checking the patient’s badges, Allen said.
“Schools do not study how to document paper anymore, nor hospitals, nor health care systems,” he said. As a result, these new graduates are not ready when [EHR] It decreases. We have seen it all. “
“It is not the same.” He said in front of a room full of nurses.
“They no longer have old nurses anymore. These old nurses resigned during Covid [pandemic]Allen said.
He said that during the interruption of the system of less than 12 hours, the patient’s documents will be left until the end of its transformation.
“They will just reserve everything.”
The application of what the new nurses know
When studies have shown that traditional training methodologies were less effective in stopping to stop, Allen said he had collected 28 participants with less than two years at Paul Memorial Hospital for training similar to the escape room.
Allen has applied KOLB experimental learning theory to design the challenges of the attractive, interactive and practical escape room, which has already proven its effectiveness to mixed groups of nurses.
“This is a learning theory for adults, and basically, it takes a profession and a situation, and this is used to integrate the tangible experience and abstract perception with reflective observation and active experimentation.”
“The escape from training has done.”
By applying what they know on an experiment in the escape room, new nursing graduates discovered what they do not work and get support from Proctor.
Allen said: “We can train them on that, and then they can re -show what we taught and refer to, reach a new formula, and know what is going on,” Allen said.
At the beginning of the training simulation of the nurse participants gave the basics of the escape room and documentation, and in the end, each of them was extracted.
“The reason is that this is not related to creating an obstacle to overcoming it, but rather an educational purpose,” he said.
Allen said that the tasks in the escape room, which absorbed five nurses at the same time, included finding policies and technology of politics, “because our policy technology is still working with a network interruption.”
The nurses had to find models, took a phone request, the message with the message and writing in the drug – five tasks in total.
After completing the study, Allen said he is now suggesting that training in the escape room for new nurses focuses on three things that can be covered in a short period of time.
“You want this to be a little difficult, so it is fun. Because if you achieve something, you get a small dopamine bonus,” he said.
Allen suggests training twice a year and maintains the polls of the follow -up to five questions or less.
