Huddles are short, regular debriefings that are designed to engage clinical staff in discussions about existing or emerging safety issues. They allow a brief conversation to take place creating a 'situational awareness' about the complexities of the healthcare environment for that day. ⋯ The initiation of the huddle has led to increased situational awareness and promotion of safety. It has been shown to be sustainable in the pediatric oncology setting, with durability and attendance of the huddle being the most significant outcome.
