Summary

After Action Review (AAR) is a debriefing methodology for learning from events. The method is a facilitated discussion among a team exploring what they expected to happen, what did happen, and what they learned. Ireland’s Health Service Executive includes the AAR methodology as part of its national Incident Management Framework. This paper explores enablers and barriers to AAR implementation in an Irish tertiary specialist hospital.
