Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Online training
Residents randomized to the control group will only participate in the Breakthroughs in Patient Safety (BIPS) online training (Education - BIPS course). All residents in the comparison arm will receive evaluations on their non-technical skills, but the results will not be fed back to them until after the study has been completed.
Education - BIPS course
The guiding principles behind the BIPS program include: (1) explaining how complex systems cause human error and how human error can lead to patient harm in complex systems; (2) diagnosing human error and identifying a prevention behavior for each of the three types: skill, rule, and knowledge; and (3) preventing error by promoting safety behaviors, such as having attention to detail, communicating clearly, having a questioning attitude, and speaking up for safety
Online training & Safety curriculum & Evaluation and feedback
Those in the intervention group will participate in a formal safety education curriculum in addition to the currently required Breakthroughs in Patient Safety (BIPS) online training. The intervention will have three components: (1) the mandatory online BIPS course (Education - BIPS course), (2) the formal safety curriculum, and (3) ongoing evaluation and feedback of operating room performance.
Education - BIPS course
The guiding principles behind the BIPS program include: (1) explaining how complex systems cause human error and how human error can lead to patient harm in complex systems; (2) diagnosing human error and identifying a prevention behavior for each of the three types: skill, rule, and knowledge; and (3) preventing error by promoting safety behaviors, such as having attention to detail, communicating clearly, having a questioning attitude, and speaking up for safety
Formal safety curriculum
The educational program is designed to improve patient safety by informing residents about safe operating room behaviors.
Ongoing evaluation and feedback
The feedback program is designed to encourage the use of safe behaviors and to discourage unsafe behaviors taught in the workshops.
