I had seen your post on “loudly giving up” from 2023, and was about to draw upon my experience in the medical field to tell you that “actually, we don’t just tell someone in the green shirt to call 911⁄999, but also tell them to inform you when they have or haven’t done it; this is called closing the loop”. Then I saw you discussed it explicitly here! Nice!
We use it a lot in medicine e.g., “get them cannulated, tell me when you’re done or if you struggle”, or “attach the defib pads, let me know when they’re set up so we can do a pace check”.
To add to your points in this post, I think closing the loop is also beneficial because it enables the leader/requester to move on to the next step once the prerequisite is met; you can do a pacing check and administer shocks once the defibrillator pads are attached, you can get blood transfusions into the patient once the cannula is in, etc. It also lets them know that the person is now available for more tasks.
In all, a great tool! Thank you for discussing it :)
