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