Our Story

With over two decades of experience as a physician working in hospitals across the U.S. and internationally, Dr. Paul Mullan has observed the frustration healthcare teams face when attempting to resolve challenging issues that impede the delivery of high-quality care. To expedite the problem-solving process using insights from frontline team members, Paul adapted debriefing methods from the military to implement the first clinical event debriefing program in 2010 and published the first article on this topic in the civilian medical literature. Since then, he has assisted over 60 teams worldwide in starting their programs and has authored more publications about debriefing implementation than any other clinician. In addition to improving outcomes, these programs have saved hospitals money and enhanced team morale.

Unfortunately, initiating and sustaining debriefing programs has posed challenges for many hospitals. Paul has assembled a team to develop the StatDebrief debriefing software solution to address these barriers. The time is right, considering the widespread use of smartphones, recent advancements in natural language processing, and the integration of AI technologies in healthcare.
