The Importance of Gamification in Air Medical Education

Concepts and actions are built by creating specific content goals and integrating them with foundation and understanding. Promoting the educational learning environment as an active method is critical.

Fremont, CA: Creating content, formulating communication approaches, and employing constructivism are all critical aspects of ensuring high-quality education. Possibly more important is cultivating a positive learning culture that is either in place or needs to be developed.

Isolated education, or the use of negative reviews as a magic wand, does not yield positive outcomes or encourage learning. It all comes down to the ‘why’ when creating an atmosphere of awareness, debriefing, collaboration, and recognizing what others would call misadventures. Concepts and actions are built by creating specific content goals and integrating them with foundation and understanding. Promoting the educational learning environment as an active method is critical. However, promoting it with educators as leaders who believe in the ‘why,’ and developing fundamentals with encouragement for development has struck a chord with our clinicians and brightened the educational and clinical quality community.

Employers can also use gamification to motivate employees in the air medical sector. Serious games concentrate on developing educational content, while gamification involves incorporating game-like features into existing processes. You may add game-like elements to an existing program to incentivize the workers by dividing them into groups and challenging them to inspire one another when working toward a shared objective of losing a higher percentage of starting body weight than others.

To provide a more concrete example relevant to the air medical sector, you might motivate workers by rewarding crews with the fewest on-the-job accidents over a set time or by rewarding crews who collectively score the highest on their annual evaluations. Although we expect each employee to do their best, this provides an opportunity for crews to assist one another in achieving a shared goal; these simple rewards bring a degree of fun to otherwise dull tasks.
