89 Development of a patient engagement tool; All Voices Count Some barriers to engagement in this study included logistic difficulties related to travelling to the hospital, time constraints and difficulties in scheduling a meeting with a group of adolescents. These barriers have been mentioned by both adolescents and adults in other fields [7,18,40]. Developing an online version of the game could potentially reduce these barriers, according to the adolescents in our study. Adolescent indicated that the advantages of an online game are that they do not have to visit the hospital, that it takes less time and that they can fit it more flexibly into their time schedule. For this reason, we would like to develop an online version of All Voices Count in the future. Conclusion In conclusion, we developed a patient engagement game called All Voices Count, working together with all stakeholders. This game lowers the barrier to include the voice of adolescents in decision-making about hospital care, research, and policy.
