Question

How to optimise briefings in a mobile crisis team?

Problem description

Due to the busy schedule of a crisis team, the efficiency of a briefing is sometimes lost

Impact - effect

Important information can be lost. Because briefings are sometimes unstructured, they can take more time than initially intended

To do

To do: every day, one appointed person is responsible for the briefings (a shift coordinator).  Recent patient data are projected onto a larger screen, so each team member can focus on the same subject, on the same time.

During the briefing, a fixed structure must be  used: in the morning only the most important data from the previous shift are briefed, as well as going through the planned home visits for that day. In the afternoon the same thing happens, while the main issues of the remaining patients are briefed as well
