ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Debriefings are an underutilized opportunity to enhance team performance and safety culture. Little is known about the impact of postclinical event debriefing programs in Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM). We sought to develop a standardized debriefing process with multidisciplinary involvement after all clinical events on PHM service lines. Our primary aim was to achieve 75% debriefing completion rate over 12 months with debriefing duration less than 10 minutes.METHODS:
A standardized postclinical event debriefing process was created at a large tertiary children's hospital. We aimed to debrief after clinical events on PHM services. The debriefing process was developed with key stakeholders and used a key driver diagram and Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles to refine the process. The project team reviewed the data monthly.RESULTS:
During our 20-month study period, debriefing completion rate sustained a median of 66% with a median debriefing time of 7 minutes. Most debriefings (61%) had all core team members present with attending physicians (pediatric hospitalists) being absent most often. Barriers to debriefing with all core members present included service type, time of day, and shift change. Process changes were implemented based on concerns addressed in the debriefings.CONCLUSIONS:
Multidisciplinary, postclinical event debriefings were successfully implemented on inpatient pediatric wards. Future steps include process implementation on non-PHM units in our hospital based on expressed interest and to further assess how debriefings optimize team performance and improve clinical outcomes.
