Gamified Simulation for Onboarding Health Care Teams in Emergency Care: Development and Preliminary Feasibility Study
This work demonstrates the feasibility of a gamified simulation platform designed for high-turnover clinical environments. It highlights both the operational deployment framework and the early acceptability among key staff members. While further validation with actual new hires is needed, this formative study shows promising potential for generalization beyond emergency care. The modular and editable nature of the system makes it a viable solution for scalable onboarding in other hospital departments.
