Rate the quality of the debriefing using the following effectiveness scale on six Elements. Element 1 allows you to rate the introduction to the simulation course and will not be rated if you do not observe the introduction. The Elements encompass Dimensions and Behaviors pertinent to the debriefing as defined in the DASH Rater’s Handbook. Within each Element, the debriefing may range from outstanding to detrimental.

Please note that the overall Element score is not derived by averaging scores for individual Dimensions or Behaviors. Think holistically and not arithmetically as you consider the cumulative impact of the Dimensions, which may not bear equal weight. You, the rater, weight dimensions as you see fit based on your holistic view of the Element. If a Dimension is impossible to assess (e.g., how well an upset participant is handled during a debriefing if no one got upset), skip it and don’t let that influence your evaluation.
