Chair's Guide for a Successful Neoflix Session

Goal Setting & Philosophy

• Define the Mission: Clearly state that Neoflix is a space for shared learning and improvement, not a pursuit of perfection. Emphasize a blame-free, supportive environment.

Preparation

• Obtain Consent: Ensure all recorded providers have explicitly agreed to the use of the video.

• Video Editing:

  • Cut the video into focused fragments, ideally totaling 15 minutes for ample discussion time.

  • Consider a thematic focus (e.g., communication) if desired, or allow open discussion.

• Provider Invitation: Invite recorded caregivers to attend the review session to provide context and foster a sense of safety.

Session Introduction

• Reaffirm Feedback Rules: Remind everyone of the guidelines for constructive feedback.

• Express Gratitude: Thank the recorded providers ("the Cast") for their contribution to the session.

• Set the Stage:

  • Reaffirm the learning-focused goal of video review.

  • Briefly describe the case and any essential contextual information.

Facilitating the Discussion

• Preserve a Safe Space: Actively guide the conversation, ensuring a respectful and constructive tone. Be prepared to intervene if feedback rules are violated.

• Encourage Participation: Strive to include everyone in the discussion by posing thoughtful questions about their perspectives.

Closing the Session

• Summary and Takeaways: Dedicate the final 5 minutes to:

  • Summarizing key discussion themes

  • Inviting final comments from participants

  • Formulating actionable takeaways with the question, "What can we conclude from this session?"

The Chair's Core Responsibility: Throughout the entire process, your primary role is to protect the safe learning environment you've established.
