Abstract
As technology reshapes industries, gamification has emerged as a key strategy, using
game design elements in non- game settings to boost motivation and collaboration,
especially in healthcare. This study examines gamification's role in enhancing
teamwork among healthcare professionals, addressing a gap in existing research.
A quantitative survey of 164 employees from organizations using gamified systems
was analyzed through multiple linear regression. Results show that game elements,
such as dynamics and mechanics, positively impact collaboration, trust, and engage
ment. Dynamics foster a collaborative environment and positive social interactions,
while mechanics involving collaborative challenges and rewards strengthen team
cohesion. This study highlights gamification as an effective tool for improving internal collaboration in healthcare, offering practical insights for organizations
implementing such systems. Findings reinforce the importance of gamification in
creating trust- based cultures, boosting performance, and enhancing satisfaction
for both professionals and patients.
