This item outlines an approach to incorporate an disclosure meeting after an adverse event/patient safety incident occurs in an obstetrical context using an OSCE format. Assessment of communication skills and professionalism is discussed.
Learning Objectives:
After participating in this scenario, the learners will be able to: 1. describe the esstential components to an initial disclosure meeting; 2. indicate when an incident report should be completed; 3. explain the need for documentation after a disclosure meeting.
Simulation Modality:
Standardized/simulated patients or real patientsEvalution/Validation:
This design was used twice for OSCEs for the University of Ottawa Obstetrics and Gynecology residents in 2009, and have been incorporated in other obstetrical simulation sessions for these residents. In 2013, linked scenarios (clinical scenario, followed by an initial disclosure meeting with an SP) were created for University of Ottawa Anesthesiology residents (principal investigator: Dr. Victor Neira, Department of Anesthesiology, CHEO).
