Abstract

Debriefing framework and approach inform a number of factors, including participant group and learning needs, type of predetermined learning objectives, and those debriefing points that emerge from the discussion. Although general principles for healthcare debriefing exist, special considerations apply for emergency care settings. In emergency medicine, debriefings should highlight the unique logistic and cognitive demands on individuals as well as interprofessional, multi-disciplinary teams. One size does not fit all, and debriefing approach for various components of any one simulation scenario are not mutually exclusive. For emergency settings, aspects about individual thought processes, teamwork, and systems issues may be relevant for a single debriefing session. Debriefing is an essential element of healthcare simulation and the information summarized here helps educators develop and implement an informed strategy.
