Overview

Theoretical benefits of consistent surgical teams should not yet change practice; leaves open the need for empirical validation.

Structured PICO

Do consistent surgical teams improve team performance compared to inconsistent teams?

P
Population
Surgical teams
I
Intervention
Consistent surgical teams (deliberate staffing decisions)
C
Comparator
Inconsistent surgical teams (standard staffing patterns)
O
Outcome
Team performance (cognitive and psychosocial benefits)

This review highlights the theoretical benefits of maintaining consistent surgical teams to improve performance, despite a current lack of empirical evidence.

Limitations

  • Empirical evidence base for consistent surgical teams is lacking
  • Barriers exist based on healthcare organization experience

Cite This Study

Xiao et al. (2014) conducted a review in Surgical team performance. Consistent surgical teams was evaluated. While empirical evidence is lacking, theoretical justifications suggest cognitive and psychosocial benefits of consistent surgical teams, laying groundwork for future research.
