This was the first time they played in a smaller setting and online. They will speak up via microphones on their laptops and look at the board of directors\u2019 web page, who will make the clicks that decide the hospital\u2019s future. \u201cWe made some adjustments in the online form\u201d, Weenink explained.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limited budget<\/h2><p>Students work on a security plan for a fictitious hospital in a group of six in the game. The biggest challenge they face is to operate under a limited budget, which in-game was presented as points. Each team has eleven points to spend on equipment such as an alarm button system for healthcare workers to report verbal or physical abuse or invest in training anti-terrorism units. Every team member has a specific role and has to negotiate with the other team members.<\/p>\n<p>Different groups approach the challenge differently. In one group, they already made up their minds to spend the eleven points in the middle of the 1-hour countdown and finalized their negotiation when there\u2019s still 10 minutes left. \u201cWe are so proud of ourselves that we reached an agreement so well and so early\u201d<span lang=\"EN-US\">,<\/span> <span lang=\"EN-US\">t<\/span>he <span lang=\"EN-US\">student acting as <\/span>Board of Directors in the room said. Yet in another one, they were struggling with three points left in the last three minutes. \u201cIt took us some time to figure out what each role should do at the beginning,\u201d said Technical Services spokesperson Fien.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Terrorist attack<\/h2><p>At the end of the game, the hospital was hit by a terrorist attack. The strategies and decisions they just made were evaluated based on the casualties and damage. Two of the three teams failed. They were required to justify their choices in response to the attack in a press conference to the media. One of the teams decided to offer a public apology: \u201cWe are sorry for the victim\u2019s family\u201d, Sabine, the Board of Directors, said solemnly.<\/p>\n<p>Weenink wants his students to learn from the game. \u201cI want them to learn how to deal with uncertainty and make decisions from real-life experiences, like how to make a decision based on 50 percent of the information. Real-life situations in hospitals are always more complicated than what they can learn from the textbook, and it\u2019s always under negotiation\u201d, the coordinator said.<\/p>\n\n\t<div
