Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two methods, safety curriculum in addition to online training alone, for teaching patient safety to surgery residents. Despite multiple studies evaluating educational safety curricula, the best methods for teaching residents about patient safety is unknown. It is hypothesized that empowering surgery residents to actively engage in behaviors to increase patient safety may lead to a higher quality perioperative care and communication.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Education - BIPS course
The guiding principles behind the BIPS program include: (1) explaining how complex systems cause human error and how human error can lead to patient harm in complex systems; (2) diagnosing human error and identifying a prevention behavior for each of the three types: skill, rule, and knowledge; and (3) preventing error by promoting safety behaviors, such as having attention to detail, communicating clearly, having a questioning attitude, and speaking up for safety
• Formal safety curriculum
The educational program is designed to improve patient safety by informing residents about safe operating room behaviors.
• Ongoing evaluation and feedback
The feedback program is designed to encourage the use of safe behaviors and to discourage unsafe behaviors taught in the workshops.
