McCarthy SE, Hogan C, Jenkins L, et al. Videos of simulated after action reviews: a training resource to support social and inclusive learning from patient safety events. BMJ Open Qual. 2023;12(3):e002270. doi:10.1136/bmjoq-2023-002270.
Debriefing after significant clinical events helps affected staff develop a shared mental model of what happened, why it happened, and how it can be prevented in the future. This paper describes development of training videos on after action reviews (AAR)s, a type of debriefing. The videos introduce AAR, show a simulated AAR debriefing, offer techniques for handing challenging situations within an AAR, and reflections on the benefits. The videos are available with the online version of the paper.
