Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

The non-cardiac adult operating rooms at Memorial Hermann Hospital are split into 2 floors, Sarofim 2 and Sarofim 3. These floors will be the unit of clustering. One floor will be randomized to the intervention arm and the other to the control arm. Every 4 weeks both floors will be re-randomized again to either arm for a total of 18 weeks.
