Best Social Media Crowdsourcing Game
MedSurg
Veterans Health Administration Employee Education System
In the MedSurg game, the nurse is required to manage multiple patients throughout a simulated shift. On a regular basis, a nurse assesses the patient’s overall condition by measuring vital signs, focused questioning, and observation of the patient and takes appropriate measures to ensure successful recovery. This helps to minimize post-operative complications. The Med-Surg Game allows target learners to practice identifying, documenting, and communicating a rapidly failing patient’s condition, and to take necessary actions to improve the patient’s situation to avoid digression into a situation that necessitates an emergency response team activation or ‘code’.
