Improving Surgical Patient Outcomes Through Implementation of a SemiStructured Intraoperative Anesthesia Handoff Tool

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Post-operative Complications

• Registration Number: NCT06533111
• Lead Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a semi-structured intraoperative anesthesia handoff tool on patient outcomes and to assess the validity of the 5-Factor Perceived Shared Mental Model Scale (5-PSMMS) in a healthcare setting and whether the perception of Shared Mental Model (SMM) mediates the effect of the intraoperative handoff tool on postoperative outcomes
