Racial and ethnic minoritized patients frequently have poorer postoperative outcomes. The hospital in this study found the opposite and sought the perspectives of minority and non-minority patients to explore potential contributing factors. Both groups of patients described positive communication with nurses and physicians, trust in the team, and family support. Only one unique factor came up for the ethnic minority patients: having someone, an interpreter, accompany them to the operating room made them feel safe.
