The learning processes and assessments in this type of content is akin to those found in a strategy game. In a strategy game the player must manage events and processes so that the overall system works efficiently. In a healthcare strategy game triage and treatment of patients must be handled while also dealing with supplies, which rooms are available, what personnel busy handling and which equipment is in use. Without a view of the big picture the system will start to fall apart. This is all good practice for managing a department in the real world.
