Help us support NICUs working toward implementing staff and family debriefs after adverse events.

If yes, does your unit use a script or tool for staff and family debriefs? 

  • Yes, it is a template
  • Yes there is a script with topics as well as time for open discussion
  • The physician/practitioner usually calls the family to inform what happened and current status
  • We have ‘hot debrief’ within the shift of the event and ‘cold debrief’ within a week of the event
