Interprofessional staff perspectives on the adoption of or black box technology and simulations to improve patient safety: a multi-methods survey (25 October 2023)

Summary

Operating room black boxes are a way to capture video, audio, and other data in real time to prevent and analyse errors. This article from Campbell et al. presents the results of two studies on operating room staff's perspectives of black boxes. Quality improvement, patient safety, and objective case review were seen as the greatest potential benefits, while decreased psychological safety and loss of privacy (both staff and patient) were the most common concerns.
