Issues affecting sustainability and suggested adaptations

Themes Issue affecting sustainability Suggested adaptations
Resources Same day video-debriefing is resource intensive Transfer of ownership from project lead to unit leadership helps in buy-in Conduct video-debriefing once every 2 wk on selected resuscitation recordings. Make the debriefing sessions open to all caregivers
Provide resources for scheduling instructors, maintaining technology, and compensate for instructors time and effort Consider VR all deliveries and team members to seek video-debriefing on selected cases by attending on service/call
Low rate of VR Hesitation to voluntarily record and participate in VR Change from caregiver activated recording to motion sensor activated VR Link to certification/competence assessment (caregivers/learners)
System to remedy identified latent safety threats in real time Identified but unaddressed issues result in caregiver disengagement Set timelines for action
Support caregivers to take ownership on addressing issues
Communicate actions arising out of identified issues
Establish connections with Quality and Education committees for systematic training on frequently identified issues
Inability to assess impact of team actions during resuscitation Lack of vitals (heart rate, SpO2) data on VR Consider superimposing vitals data on video-recording
Inconsistency in demonstrating team behaviors by caregivers Lack of focused training in team behaviors and error prevention Sustain video-debriefing activity for creating learning and self evaluation
Team behavior evaluation not mandatory for maintenance of professional accreditation or trainee certification Integrate demonstration of team behaviors during resuscitation into professional accreditation and certification requirements

VR: Video recording.
