Why a Scenario?
Why a Scenario?
Environmental Services staff often learn cleaning procedures through checklists and observation. This concept explores how branching scenarios can provide a safe environment to practice decision-making before entering a patient room.
Why Dana?
Why Dana?
Dana was inspired by the kind of no-nonsense workplace mentor learners immediately recognize: experienced, direct, and hard to impress. I wanted her to feel like someone who has seen every shortcut before and uses that credibility to coach learners through realistic decisions, not just mark answers right or wrong.
Why Branching?
Why Branching?
Each decision influences learner feedback and room readiness outcomes, helping learners connect actions to patient safety consequences.
This concept demonstrates how scenario-based learning can be adapted to highly regulated healthcare environments where individual decisions directly impact patient safety and operational readiness.
