The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association recommend high-quality debriefing. Debriefs can help identify latent safety threats and improve care, multidisciplinary communication, and staff resilience. However, optimal debriefs are infrequent; lack of skilled facilitators, inadequate time, and an appropriate setting are reported reasons. This session will be an interactive discussion led by facilitators from emergency medicine, critical care, and outpatient settings.

This session will begin with a brief (10 minutes) presentation on the salient literature, rationale, and potential of post-event debriefing programs.

Next, the participants will receive a short training (15 minutes) - we will guide the participants through a practice session, and share tools for effective debrief, data collection methods, and systems considerations (shared electronically for virtual participants).

For the remainder of the workshop (the largest block of time), participants will be divided into small groups based on the clinical setting they predominantly work in. We will have groups virtually and in-person coached by a faculty assigned to each group. Each team will review at least 2 clinical scenarios, and debrief as a team with role assignments and use of the tools provided. The faculty will facilitate a short discussion on improvement opportunities. The groups will then be merged and a representative from each group will summarize and report out. This will provide an array of debriefing attributes and potential solutions to challenges.

Last, the faculty will lead a short (10 minute) discussion on IRB and legal implications. The workshop will close with a question/answer session.
