Workshop
Description: The goal of this workshop is to provide pediatric faculty a novel method of teaching patient safety (PS) and improving error report consistency and quality using a PS escape room. The ACGME lists PS event reporting as a core requirement for pediatric residencies and fellowships; all programs must have educational curriculum that supports these endeavors. The purpose of the escape room is to introduce learners to patient safety basics in an engaging and memorable way using simulation.
To start, participants will experience mini-escape rooms to understand the concept they will eventually present to their learners. Participants will identify PS hazards located throughout the room in order to “escape,” e.g. unavailable hand sanitizer, unsafe sleep, choking hazards, etc. Rooms will mimic outpatient clinics, ED rooms, as well as inpatient rooms. Participants will then fill out a safety event report for one of the items found. We will then present a short didactic on the necessary tools for creation of the escape room. After, we will break into small groups based on practice type (clinic, ED, hospital) to discuss ideas, adaptations, and pitfalls involved in bringing this curriculum into practice at home institutions. In the final section, the participants will hear a short didactic on PS principles including suggestions for pre-escape room didactics and evaluating safety reports. The final breakout session will have participants evaluate their own error PS reports using the tools learned in this workshop and we will field final questions at the end.
