ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Clinical event debriefing is recommended by the American Heart Association and the European Resuscitation Council, because debriefings improve team performance. The purpose here was to develop and validate tools needed to overcome barriers to debriefing in the emergency department.METHOD:
This quality improvement project was conducted in 4 phases. Phase 1 Current evidence related to debriefing in the emergency department was reviewed and synthesized to inform an iterative process for drafting the debriefing guideline and instrument for documentation. Phase 2 Content Validity Index of the tools was evaluated by obtaining ratings of items' clarity and relevance from 5 national experts in 2 rounds of review. On the basis of experts' feedback, tools were revised, and a Facilitators' Guide was created. Phase 3 The validated debriefing tools were implemented. Phase 4 Debriefing facilitators completed a survey about their experience with using the new tools.RESULTS:
The Content Validity Index of 71 debriefing tool items (guideline, instrument, Facilitators' Guide) was 0.93 and 0.96 for clarity and relevance, respectively. Of the 32 debriefings conducted during the first 8 weeks of implementation, 53% described patient safety concerns, and 97% described recommendations to improve performance. Most (94%) facilitators agreed that the guideline clarified debriefing requirements.CONCLUSION:
The use of debriefing tools validated by computation of the Content Validity Index led to the identification of safety threats and recommendations to improve care processes. These tools can be used in ED settings to promote team learning and aid in identifying and resolving safety concerns.Palavras-chave
