Internet Enduring Material Sponsored by the Stanford University School of Medicine. Presented by the Center for Advanced Pediatric and Perinatal Education (CAPE) at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Course Description
Healthcare professionals work in complex, high-risk environments where safety is paramount and human lives are at stake. Rigorous training and objective assessment, if done well, are proven methods for optimizing team performance and improving the quality of care.

In this interactive online course, you will learn the art of debriefing, one of the most effective strategies for empowering healthcare professionals to deliver safe, high-quality patient care. You will learn to lead your team to reflect objectively on past performance and work collaboratively to improve outcomes. You will discover how successful debriefing can transform teams and practice.
