BRICK Hospital


Registration essential. Lunch and refreshments provided. Please note that participation for the duration of the workshop is required as a fixed number of people is needed to play throughout the game.

Part of the Management in Medicine Programme (aimed particularly at clinicians in training). The workshop is open to everyone interested in health care.

In this highly interactive workshop, we will be playing BRICK HOSPITAL, which is already part of official specialty training in Denmark and an integrated part of an elective subject on leadership and process management for medical students at Aarhus University, Denmark. The workshop is open to everyone interested in health care. Professional health care skills are not a pre-requisite for attending the workshop but motivation for game-based learning is important.

Playing the game BRICK HOSPITAL, will increase awareness about patient flow and introduce tools that can help optimize flow for health care professionals on the ground or those aspiring to manage a clinical department or a hospital.
BRICK HOSPITAL is a LEGO-based game where each player is given a series of tasks related to the patient’s journey through the hospital – from admittance to diagnosis and treatment through to discharge. Through several rounds of the game, using reflection and facilitated improvement processes, the players are given a unique insight into interdisciplinary team-work and optimization of patient flow using game-based learning.
