August 23, 2023
Webster CS, Mahajan R, Weller JM. Br J Anaesth. 2023;131(2):397-406.
Systems involving people, tools, technology, and work environments must interact effectively to ensure the delivery of safe, effective care. This narrative review uses a sociotechnical perspective to explore the inter-relationship between technology and the human work environment during the delivery of anesthesia in the operating room. The authors discuss systems-level approaches, such as such as surgical safety checklists, as well as the role of resilience and new technologies (i.e., artificial intelligence).
