When implementation leaders did not explain why or show how the
checklist should be used, staff neither understood the rationale behind
implementation nor were they adequately prepared to use the checklist,
leading to frustration, disinterest, and eventual abandonment despite a
hospital-wide mandate

American College of Surgeons, 212(5), 873–9

eAdventure game platform
Open code authoring environment for the production of point-and-click
adventure games & immersive learning simulations

e-adventure.e-ucm.es

No programming required and easy to include Learning Analytics in
eAdventure games
Game development approach
CheckList Game
Raise awareness about the checklist
• Learn how to apply it properly
• Let practice it application in a free-risk environment
In cooperation with UCM (Surgical Department), Hospital
Doce de Octubre, LCS-MGH
