1023 - Gamification Reimagined: Fun Meets Compliance

Overview/Abstract: Maintaining compliance can be challenging as regulatory requirements are often changing. Frequent review of policies, procedures and evidence-based practices support staff in maintaining a state of regulatory readiness. The aim of this educational session is to demonstrate how to develop themed training sessions using gamification to enhance staff engagement, improve student learning outcomes, and increase participant satisfaction. Gamification for healthcare education has been shown to strengthen attitudes towards learning, which can positively influence acquisition of knowledge. This presentation will introduce a variety of engaging, innovative educational strategies with multiple regulatory readiness training games such as “The Olympics”, “Summer Outing”, “Kentucky Derby”, and “The Amazing Race”. Rather than using traditional lectures, incorporating games into regulatory readiness review has proven to be very beneficial. Consistent regulatory readiness exercises reinforce learning and retention, and staff continue to request this approach to training. Participants will learn creative ideas and strategies on how to incorporate gamification into training by including a theme and engaging all staff from start to finish! It’s time to start developing fun compliance training games that staff won’t want to miss and will be clamoring for more! Come prepared to play along and bring the games back home with you.
