In this podcast, debrief2learn’s Adam Cheng interviews Dr Lou Halamek from Lucile Packard Childrens Hospital. Over the years, Dr Halamek has spent time at NASA learning how they conduct simulations and debriefings. Here they discuss the NASA style of debriefing, which focuses on performance gaps and improvements, while at the same time de-emphasizing emotions. Dr Halamek described the lessons he learned from NASA debriefings and how they can be applied to healthcare debriefings..
