Debriefing Assessment for Simulation in Healthcare (DASH)
The DASH is a 20-item observer-rated instrument measuring the quality of debriefing—the structured, facilitated reflection following a healthcare simulation activity. Developed by Rudolph, Simon, and Raemer in 2006 at Massachusetts General Hospital, the DASH evaluates the debriefing facilitator's ability to create a psychological safety environment, elicit reflection on events, establish learning objectives, and foster insight into clinical decision-making. The scale is widely used in medical and nursing education to assess the fidelity and effectiveness of simulation-based learning experiences.
