Résumé

This study aims to elucidate the potential usage of continuous feedback regarding team satisfaction and correlations with operative performance and patient outcomes. Continuous, actionable assessment of teamwork quality in the operating room (OR) is challenging. This work introduces a novel, data-driven approach to prospectively and dynamically assess healthcare provider (HCP) satisfaction with teamwork in the OR. Satisfaction with teamwork quality for each case was assessed utilizing a validated prompt displayed on HappyOrNot® Terminals™ placed in all ORs, with separate panels for circulators, scrub nurses, surgeons, and anesthesia providers. Responses were cross-referenced with OR log data, team familiarity indicators, efficiency parameters and patient safety indicator events through continuous, semi-automated data marts. De-identified responses were analyzed via logistic regression modeling. Over a 24-week period, 4,123 responses from 2,107 cases were recorded. The overall response rate per-case was 32.5%. Greater scrub nurse specialty experience was strongly associated with satisfaction (odds ratio 2.15, 95% CI 1.53-3.03, P<0.001). Worse satisfaction was associated with longer than expected procedure time (odds ratio 0.91, 95% CI 0.82-1.00, P=0.047), nighttime (0.67, 95% CI 0.55-0.82, P<0.001) and add-on cases (0.72, 95% CI 0.60-0.86, P<0.001). Higher material costs (22%, 95% CI 6-37%, P=0.006) were associated with greater team satisfaction. Cases with superior teamwork ratings were associated with a 15% shorter length of hospital stay (95% CI 4-25%, P=0.006). This study demonstrates for the feasibility of a dynamic survey platform to report actionable HCP satisfaction metrics in real-time. Team satisfaction is associated with modifiable team variables and some key operational outcomes. Leveraging qualitative measurements of teamwork as operational indicators may augment staff engagement and measures of performance.

OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
This study aims to elucidate the potential usage of continuous feedback regarding team satisfaction and correlations with operative performance and patient outcomes.
BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Continuous, actionable assessment of teamwork quality in the operating room (OR) is challenging. This work introduces a novel, data-driven approach to prospectively and dynamically assess healthcare provider (HCP) satisfaction with teamwork in the OR.
METHODS METHODS
Satisfaction with teamwork quality for each case was assessed utilizing a validated prompt displayed on HappyOrNot® Terminals™ placed in all ORs, with separate panels for circulators, scrub nurses, surgeons, and anesthesia providers. Responses were cross-referenced with OR log data, team familiarity indicators, efficiency parameters and patient safety indicator events through continuous, semi-automated data marts. De-identified responses were analyzed via logistic regression modeling.
RESULTS RESULTS
Over a 24-week period, 4,123 responses from 2,107 cases were recorded. The overall response rate per-case was 32.5%. Greater scrub nurse specialty experience was strongly associated with satisfaction (odds ratio 2.15, 95% CI 1.53-3.03, P<0.001). Worse satisfaction was associated with longer than expected procedure time (odds ratio 0.91, 95% CI 0.82-1.00, P=0.047), nighttime (0.67, 95% CI 0.55-0.82, P<0.001) and add-on cases (0.72, 95% CI 0.60-0.86, P<0.001). Higher material costs (22%, 95% CI 6-37%, P=0.006) were associated with greater team satisfaction. Cases with superior teamwork ratings were associated with a 15% shorter length of hospital stay (95% CI 4-25%, P=0.006).
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
This study demonstrates for the feasibility of a dynamic survey platform to report actionable HCP satisfaction metrics in real-time. Team satisfaction is associated with modifiable team variables and some key operational outcomes. Leveraging qualitative measurements of teamwork as operational indicators may augment staff engagement and measures of performance.
