Title: "Augmenting Postoperative Transitions of Care"

Abstract:
In this talk, I will discuss my ongoing research on postoperative patient care transitions. Informed by contextual inquiry approaches and mixed methods, we conducted a series of studies to investigate the current operating room to ICU handoff workflow and to develop design requirements for a socio-technical handoff tool. This handoff tool is augmented by machine learning predictions of patient risks of postoperative complications and by perioperative telemedicine teams to support resilience to communication errors. I will discuss the planned trial and new directions for safety research in perioperative medicine.
