Team rituals that make surgeries safer

Ever wondered how pre-op rituals can impact team performance in the operating room?

In this video, I discuss the essential pre-operation checklist that we rely on to confirm patient details and ensure everyone is on the same page.

We go through patient names, surgery locations, and other critical information, which I believe functions as a powerful ritual for our team.

Talking through these details with the team beforehand creates a sense of anticipation and preparedness that truly helps us work better together.

What rituals or checklists do you use to ensure your team's efficiency?
