Improving patient safety through better teamwork: how effective are different methods of simulation debriefing? Protocol for a pragmatic, prospective and randomised study by Wolf E Hautz, Juliane E Kämmer, Julia Freytag, Fabian Stroben, Dorothea Eisenmann

“…The study aims to evaluate the effects of two teamwork-focused debriefings on team performance after an extensive medical student teamwork training.Methods and analyses A prospective experimental study has been designed to compare a well-established three-phase debriefing method (gather–analyse–summarise; the GAS method) to a newly developed and more structured debriefing approach that extends the GAS method with TeamTAG (teamwork techniques analysis grid). TeamTAG is a cognitive aid listing preselected teamwork principles and descriptions of behavioural anchors that serve as observable patterns of teamwork and is supposed to help structure teamwork-focused debriefing. …”
