Structured Emergency Event Debriefing (SEED)
Apr. 23, 2026 - Apr. 23, 2027High-acuity events in emergency departments can overwhelm individual providers, eroding team performance and clinician well-being. Further, unaddressed stress leads to emotional exhaustion and burnout. Structured Emergency Event Debriefing (SEED) equips medical faculty as well as other ED team members with an evidence-based framework to debrief after critical incidents with the intention of supporting colleagues while simultaneously strengthening systems. Participants explore three linked, nested approaches—Post-Resuscitation Pause (PRP), Same-Shift Support (SSS), and Post-Event Evaluation and Reflection (PEER)— and will leave with experience guiding brief, psychologically safe conversations that connect emotion and resuscitation process, and transform potentially difficult experiences into ones the improve department performance and provider wellbeing.
This four-hour, highly interactive workshop blends short didactic segments with small-group role-play, guided reflection, and peer feedback. Participants sequentially practise each SEED method, mirroring the clinical progression from “hot” to “cold” debriefing. Faculty model trauma-informed communication and structured listening while participants build confidence facilitating concise, inclusive discussions. The session concludes with planning for local implementation and evaluation, ensuring sustained integration of SEED into departmental routines to enhance morale, retention, and quality of care.
