Abstract
The rising costs for regular healthcare delivery improvements have considerable economic repercussions to countries across the globe because
of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic.1-3 The delays caused by the pandemic are predicted to also have a significant impact on patient safety and considerably diminish patient experience. The pandemic has also markedly placed significant emphasis on the high risk of avoidable harm to patients, health workers, and the general public, with safety gaps highlighted for future
consideration requiring infrastructural and research investment (WHO Team).4 With the current global socioeconomic status in disarray there has been
significant disruption to infrastructure provision and developments as well as various healthcare services. Newer healthcare models need to be adopted to ensure sustainability of care across the globe that supports better patient safety. Most have presented various ideas and solutions that aim to help cross the patient safety chasm. However, we present an example of a locore-
gional best practice application of such an approach to healthcare delivery that uses a gamification method to boost the patient safety and experience implemented in just 10minutes a day.
