The concept of leadership in the operating room has changed from a “captain of the ship” philosophy – where one leader has unquestionable authority – to one where the leader is the coordinating head of a multidisciplinary team. The leader’s behavior has a determining effect not only on the function of the OR team, but ultimately on patient safety and outcomes. OR Dx + Rx’s Dr. Andrew Warshaw’s recent presentation discusses this concept and explains how the new concept of leadership will make your ORs safer and improve patient outcomes.
