PR usage is associated with adverse outcomes. Clinical debriefing (CD) programs have been associated with improved performance but have not been studied in this population. After implementing an MBH-CD program in our Children's Hospital, we aimed to decrease the baseline (7/2018-3/2021) rate of a second PR episode (2PR) by 50 % in the ED and inpatient settings over two years.</span></p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>A multidisciplinary team implemented an MBH-CD process in April 2021 for hospital teams to use immediately after behavioral events. We included patients ≤18 years old, with an ED or inpatient discharge MBH diagnosis, between July 2018 and June 2023. Pre- and post-implementation secondary outcomes included the ED median duration of PR and the ED PR time per 1000 h of ED care. ED and inpatient mean length of stay (LOS) and mean monthly visits (MMV) in pre- and post-implementation were also compared. Qualitative analysis identified major themes.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Post-implementation, the ED significantly decreased 2PR rate by 67 %; in inpatients, no significant change was demonstrated. Median duration of ED PR decreased from 112 to 71 min (<em>p</em> = 0.006) and ED PR time significantly decreased by 82 % (14.8 to 2.7 h per 1000 h). In the post-implementation period, mean LOS (ED and inpatient) and MMV (ED only) were significantly higher. Fifty-one percent of 494 behavioral alerts were debriefed. Median debriefing duration was 6 min (IQR 4,10). Common themes included cooperation and coordination (23 %) and clinical standards (14 %).</p></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><p>Clinical debriefing implementation was associated with significant improvement in ED patient outcomes.
