Escalation of Care: A Surgical Improvement Initiative
Tracking # 20-846734
Course overview
Surgical residents do not always call the attending physician about critical patient events, believing that it is not necessary or that the call will not be welcome. Failure to call for help is associated with failure to rescue, adverse events and claims of medical malpractice. This activity will review the results of recent studies and multidisciplinary initiatives in a search for lessons in improving surgical communications.
