A disastrous event with the potential of high mortality can happen at any moment. In such an occurrence, the community would rely on our healthcare professionals to quickly and effectively manage an emergency response with scarce resources in order to save lives and return to a normal equilibrium. You are those healthcare professionals. Disaster has struck. Get ready, because here comes...Influx!
*LEARN BY PLAYING*
Influx! is a game that will help to teach you how to most effectively respond should you be faced with a mass casualty situation. Developed using the insight of a multidisciplinary team of experts, Influx! has been designed to teach vital principles of intrahospital mass casualty disaster management. It will review how to triage patients, create surge capacity, manage extrinsic factors, and how to help your staff with the inevitable mental and physical fatigue. Players will be presented with a number of patients to triage and treat, as well as multiple non-patient care scenarios that must be carefully managed. This 4-player game will allow you to become familiar with the most important aspects of mass casualty management and will emphasize the importance of team collaboration, which is essential to succeed in the game and to survive in any mass casualty event.
