In this episode, we speak with a team from the University of Washington Medical Center to explore the question, how can large hospital systems offer care to its caregivers after an adverse event? The team shares their first-hand experience of an unexpected event with a patient and how a debriefing process as part of UWMC's new Care for the Caregiver program helped them to process and understand the event and build trust with other colleagues.
