Team training interventions may be useful in enhancing team communication and cohesion, according to a study published in the Dec. 2010 issue of AORN Journal.
According to the study, around 70 percent of adverse events are attributable to failures in communication. The literature review was conducted to assess the results of team training interventions in the OR. According to the study, there were statistically significant before-and-after improvements in teamwork practices, as well as some secondary outcomes such as complication rates.
The best team training interventions will be developed in response to the nuances of the OR and will be more likely to become an integral part of clinical practice, the study reported.
