SimFails #005: Confidentiality Breach

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? Share your thoughts with #SimFails, or learn more at www.harvardmedsim.org. --The SimFails team
