Closed-loop communication prevents confusion and ensures the healthcare team is operating under a shared mental model. In order to investigate closed-loop communication in real-life care (as opposed to simulations), researchers observed 60 interprofessional teams, including 120 anesthesia personnel. The number of callouts, check-backs, and confirmations were analyzed, revealing only 45% of callouts resulted in closed-loop communication.
