Abstract
Surgery is a task that requires a high level of teamwork and coordination. Therefore, communication among team members in the operating room (OR) has a major impact on surgical quality and patient outcomes. In the last few years, our research team moved from observation of communication in the OR to interventions to improve communication in the OR. We developed and tested the StOP? protocol, an intraoperative briefing initiated by the leading surgeon with the aim to update the whole OR team during the operation on the current Status (St) of the operation, next Objectives (O), potential upcoming problems (P) and to encourage the team members to ask questions (?).
