In Brief Objective: To determine the nature of surgeon information transfer and communication (ITC) errors that lead to adverse events near misses. recommend strategies for minimizing or preventing these errors. Summary Background Data: Surgical hospital practice is changing from a single provider team-based approach. This has put premium on effective ITC. The Information Transfer Communication Practices (ITCP) Project multi-institutional effort to: 1) better understand ITCP their patient...
Abstract The global disparities in both surgical disease burden and access to delivery of care are gaining prominence the medical literature media. Concurrently, there is an unprecedented groundswell idealism interest health among North American students trainees anesthesia disciplines. Many academic centers (AMCs) seeking respond by creating partnerships with teaching hospitals overseas. In this article we describe six such partnerships, as follows: (1) University California San Francisco...
