RESUMEN
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil had a major impact on face-to-face permanent education for health (PEH) workplace learning groups in primary care. Aims: The aim of the study was to explore how PEH groups in primary care changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A qualitative exploratory evaluation study was conducted with six key participants, who answered semi-structured questions in on-line interviews. Results: The PEH groups rapidly and successfully implemented an online approach using social media. The role of the coordinator changed from being a facilitator to an information broker for navigating the large volume of conflicting information and misinformation. Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of being an agile organisation, with a 'bottom-up' approach to innovation, and the key role of having an information broker in rapidly changing and complex environments. An appreciation of the importance of the socio-technical system for technology implementation in an organisation was also highlighted, with the use of technologies that are familiar to members of the organisation.

PARTICIPANTS: Nurses, nurses assistant/technician and physicians and medical residents who work in the surgical center. RESULTS: Results identified were promising, which broadens the perspective for further studies using the Escape Room activity in the hospital environment through structured research that can assess its implications for teaching and learning. CONCLUSION: We see opportunities for using the escape room activity as a teaching tool to implement other learning objectives.
