Incorporating the video communication assessment for error disclosure in residency curricula: a mixed methods study of faculty perceptions.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

U.S. resident physicians are required to demonstrate competency in disclosing patient safety events to patients, including harmful errors. The Video-based Communication Assessment (VCA) is a novel tool that provides opportunities to practice and receive feedback on communication skills. VCA practice and feedback are associated with improvements in residents' error disclosure skills, but no research exists regarding faculty members' views on implementing the VCA in patient safety curricula. We sought to evaluate faculty members' views on using the VCA for teaching error disclosure communication in residency, and to identify barriers and facilitators to VCA adoption.

Methods

Mixed methods study using a validated survey of Acceptability, Appropriateness, and Feasib
