The Prevention of Error-Based Transfers (PoET) Project is an award-winning, Ontario-based Ethics Quality Improvement project that aims to reduce consent-related errors in long-term care homes, and the transfers to hospital that can follow.
Led by Dr. Jill Oliver and Dr. Paula Chidwick and developed at William Osler Health System’s Ethics Quality Improvement Lab in Brampton, Ontario, PoET has developed through close collaboration with staff, physicians, residents and family members from long-term care. By participating in PoET, long-term care homes make a commitment to change decision-making habits in their home in order to align with Ontario’s patient-centered Health Care Consent Act.
Voices, Choices, and the Health Care Consent Act is a web-based choose your own adventure game. It follows the roles of patients, families, and medical staff through various end of life scenarios in hopes of bringing better understanding to real-life situations.
My Role
As the lead programmer for a proficient team assembled at Mikutech, I spearheaded the development of a game tailored specifically for our client, the PoET project. This game served as an innovative platform for conveying their message to a wider audience. In this multifaceted role, I assumed responsibility for programming, overseeing I.T. infrastructure, and contributing to select aspects of the game's design.
