“…Yet, disclosure conversations remain difficult for clinicians and offering an authentic apology is challenging.PurposeTo better understand how clinicians can improve disclosures and apologies by using simulation to observe the approach clinicians use in the initial disclosure, where and when apologies occur within these conversations, what content apologies are linked with, who apologizes, and how apologies differ by their timing within the overall disclosure conversation.MethodsForty-nine simulations of physician-nurse teams from the U.S. and Canada were videotaped planning and disclosing either a medical or surgical error to a patient-actress. Data from the disclosure portions were coded and analyzed using Atlas-Ti to describe the communication approach clinicians use when disclosing errors and the occurrence and timing of apologies within those disclosures.ResultsNinety-eight clinicians participated: 38 MD-RN teams from the U.S. and 11 from Canada. …”
