How do you work with embedded participants and simulated patients when doing assessment in simulation? How do you make sure that any assessments you do are both valid and reliable, especially if you don't have a way to see what your participants are thinking?

Join us this week to learn from our assessment failures!

Jeff Cooper, Executive Director Emeritus of the Center for Medical Simulation, joined us in 2017 to tell the story on camera of how an Operating Room fire sparked by an accidental use of a laser led to the development of healthcare simulation into the massive industry it is today.

We’ll be releasing a new chapter of this history every week for the next seven weeks, so be sure to check back soon!

This week, Janice brings up a traumatic episode from her experience: a team reveals in debriefing that their department regularly does something unsafe for patients. How do we keep patients safe while also maintaining confidentiality?

Why is confidentiality important in debriefing? People need to feel safe taking risk and making mistakes in order to learn and improve. Simulation is not stand alone--it's part of your organization's culture. If there's an opportunity for learning, how do we take advantage of it?

SOAP BUBBLE EMOTIONS: In this week's SimFails, Marcus brings us a failure from the reactions phase of debriefing, and an argument that's existed about that phase. How do we go from scripted searches during that phase looking for a "feelings word" to genuine emotional inquiries from one person to another? How do we listen to the hidden emotions behind participant's words and in their non-verbals?
