- Abstract
- Interprofessional collaboration occurs when multiple health workers from different professional backgrounds work together with patients, families, caregivers, and communities to deliver the highest quality of care (World Health Organization [WHO], 2010). Interprofessional collaboration is important because it leads to better patient outcomes and more efficient use of resources (Bosch et al., 2009; Lemieux-Charles & McGuire, 2006; Zwarenstein, Goldman, & Reeves, 2009). Multiple healthcare associations support national quality and safety goals related to interprofessional collaboration (National Academy of Medicine [NAM], 2011). The primary purpose of this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was to promote interprofessional collaboration by creating an evidence-based intervention for an interprofessional group of registered nurses, certified nurse midwives, and physicians and measuring effectiveness of the intervention by assessing interprofessional collaboration competency attainment. A secondary purpose was to determine the acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, reach, and participant satisfaction of the intervention itself. The DNP student developed, planned, implemented, and evaluated an interprofessional practice initiative in the form of an “escape room,” a game where people are locked into a room as a group and have to find a way to escape by finding various clues and solving puzzles to unlock the room. Results derived from valid, reliable tools support the use an escape room to promote interprofessional collaboration and indicate that an escape room is an acceptable, appropriate, feasible intervention with high participant satisfaction. Improvements for future interprofessional healthcare escape rooms include an interprofessional development team, the use of a tool that specifically addresses satisfaction with an interprofessional activity, a larger sample size, a patient- and family-centered focus, and frequent offerings of the escape room.
