Simulation-Debriefing Enhanced Needs Assessment to Address Quality Markers in Health Care: An Innovation for Prospective Hazard Analysis.

Abstract

Simulation-Debriefing Enhanced Needs Assessment (SDENA) is a simulation-based approach to prospective hazard analysis that uses simulation and debriefing as a unit-level diagnostic tool. Scenarios address failure modes for health care improvement targets, and debriefing explores unit-specific barriers and resiliencies. Debriefing guides are structured to explore how six drivers of a behavior engineering framework (data, tools/resources, incentives, knowledge/skills, capacity, motivation) influence clinical behaviors. Illinois Hospital Association members who deployed SDENA to address specific hospital-acquired conditions found motivation to be a more significant barrier than anticipated before deployment. SDENA represents a novel approach to improving safety and may refine intervention targets.
