Healthcare debriefings have been primarily informed by theories and expert opinions but in this episode Ben explores with Michaela Kolbe how her team took on the remarkable endeavour to code over 18,000 debriefing micro-events from 50 simulation debriefings to uncover the quantitative mysteries inside ‘the black box of debriefing’.
Join us as we explore the evolving evidence on what ‘Advocacy and Inquiry’ actually leads to in a debrief, as well as the surprising impact of praise, paraphrasing and guess what I’m thinking questions.

Hierarchy is pervasive in healthcare, and current strategies to train providers to ‘speak up’ are not enough to overcome the intense challenges that hierarchy creates. In this episode, Vic talks with Taryn Taylor and Adam Garber about their recent articles in Advances in Simulation. Both studies explore the experience of practitioners working in teams managing obstetric emergences. Their studies use clever scenario design and delivery to re-create hierarchy and power gradients, as an example of ‘sociological fidelity’.
Their insights are comprehensive, confronting but deeply resonant for healthcare professionals. We discuss their methods, their findings and what this might mean for simulation being part of the solution to addressing harms caused by hierarchy.

More interesting work in healthcare simulation this month, including some from our friends and colleagues.
Before that… A final reminder to register for Sim Reconnect ! – a 1 day seminar at Bond University on the Gold Coast.
And – if you’re working in translational or systems focused simulation – consider enrolling in the Bond subject Translational Simulation in healthcare, stand alone or as part of a Masters of Healthcare Innovations.
Now – the papers!
Rao et al. Daily team introductions and simulation education to improve team performance. Great paper from our friends at Logan Hospital, including Sonia Twigg
Roze des Ordons et al. Guiding, Intermediating, Facilitating, and Teaching (GIFT): A Conceptual Framework for Simulation Educator Roles in Healthcare Debriefing. From a team of thought leaders in simulation debriefing
Tsang et al. Electronic Decision Support in the Delivery Room Using Augmented Reality to Improve Newborn Life Support Guideline Adherence. A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study. New frontiers in tech enabled clinical decision support from a group n the Netherlands

The August Journal Club is here, with Ben and Vic talking about 4 papers relevant to our simulation practice. How do simulation fellows learn some ‘tech skills’? Ahmed et all help us out with Development of a simulation technical competence curriculum for medical simulation fellows, with lessons about learning tech and about how to develop a curriculum. Then we consider ‘arts based pedagogy ‘ in Patrea Andersen’s A Nursing Simulation Pilot Study Comparing Art-Enhanced Debriefing and Traditional Debriefing. A fascinating way to try and enrich debriefing conversations using art cards. Translation of learning to practice is the subject of Jye Gard’s phenomenological study on Simulation translation differences between craft groups. We finish the episode with a review of the delightful editorial from IJoHS from Paul Murphy and Debra Nestel on Healthcare simulation terms: promoting critical reflection

“How can we push the boundaries of healthcare simulation research, leading to new insights and innovations?”
Advances in Simulation has announced a new thematic series. Methodological Innovations in Healthcare Simulation Research is “seeking manuscripts that challenge our collective thinking about how to conceptualise, frame, study, and theorise simulation in health and social care article type, in order to help advance our thinking about simulation research.”
In this short episode, Vic speaks with Professor Walter Eppich about the thematic series, and explores examples of methodologic innovations in simulation. A deeper dive can also be found in the accompanying editorial from Walter and Advances Editor in Chief Gabriel Reedy. We look forward to reading and discussing the submissions in this series!

Ben and Vic offer a short discussion about the self development modules created by a global team of simulation fellows. Ben explains his motivation in leading the project, and explains how simulation practitioners can use the modules for their own professional development. Peer learning, collaboration, and more. Modules can be found here, and feedback and reflections welcome.

Ben and Vic were back for the July Simulcast Journal Club, with four interesting articles.
Imposters was our first topic – and the prevalence of imposter syndrome among simulation faculty. (and take the chance to look at the IJOHS while you’re on their site) We followed with a paper about anxiety and performance in pre-hospital care students undergoing simulation based assessment.
We enjoyed talking about the nuanced challenges and strategies for debriefing interprofessional simulation, and finished with a discussion of calculating cost effectiveness for simulation-based quality improvement projects.
As mentioned on the podcast – express your interest for our Simulation:Reconnect event in November. Registrations open in August.
