Phadnis J, Templeton-Ward O. J Patient Saf. 2018;14(2):82-86.
Though preoperative briefings are recommended to enhance team communication, they are incompletely implemented and evidence regarding their benefit is not well-established. This audit study found that inadequate preoperative briefings resulted in more minor adverse events. This finding adds to the evidence of their importance but does not address implementation challenges.
