Latent safety threats (LSTs) in healthcare are hazards or conditions that risk patient safety but are not readily apparent without system stress. In situ simulation (ISS), followed by post-scenario debriefing is a common method to identify LSTs within the clinical environment. The function of post-ISS debriefing for LST identification is not well understood.
