What must be included in the debrief discussion with the SMDR?

The inclusion of findings and recommendations in the debrief discussion with the Shipboard Medical Department Representative (SMDR) is crucial as it provides a comprehensive overview of any identified issues during inspections or evaluations. This discussion allows for an understanding of not only what problems were detected but also how to address them effectively.

Findings detail the results of the inspection or evaluation, highlighting areas that may need improvement or corrective actions. Recommendations are suggestions that guide the SMDR on best practices or strategies to enhance ship sanitation and overall health standards. By discussing both findings and recommendations, the team can ensure that there is a clear path forward for improving sanitation conditions on the ship, fulfilling regulatory requirements, and promoting the health and well-being of everyone on board.

Focusing solely on corrective actions might overlook important context and details regarding the conditions and issues that necessitate those actions. Mentioning future inspection dates provides good planning but does not address the immediate need to analyze and understand what was found during the current evaluation. While noting personnel involved may be relevant in some contexts, it does not provide the substantive operational information that findings and recommendations deliver.
