Abstract
The design of an educational tool for training observational skills of medical practitioners is presented. Using simulators is becoming more and more frequent in the training of medical teams and as a part of such training video often plays an important role providing a way of showing, in retrospect, what happened during critical incidents. Learning to identify and analyze teamwork in critical care is difficult and our objective has been to create a tool to train participants in such skills rather than developing yet another tool for researchers or specially trained observers. The tool is a simple annotation tool for letting users mark problematic and good team behavior which visualizes annotations on a timeline. One central idea is that individual annotations are shown collectively thereby visualizing possible differences and gaps in different users’ observations.
