To support safety and efficient care, effective integration of technology into the
timepressured, high-risk healthcare environments is critical. This systematic literature review …

This article reviews studies conducted “in the wild” that explore the “ironies of automation” in
Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS). Workload may be reduced for the surgeon, but increased …

This paper describes the process and tools developed as part of a multidisciplinary
collaborative simulation-based approach for iterative design and evaluation of operating …

Objective: This review of empirical literature focuses on the design of operating rooms (ORs)
by investigating the physical environmental features of ORs associated with patient and staff …

Aim: To assess how the adjacencies of functionally different areas within operating rooms
(ORs) can influence the circulating nurse's (CN) workflow patterns and disruptions …

Objective Using the example of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), we explore the
methodological and practical challenges of technology integration in surgery, provide …

Objective The aim of this study is to describe the impact of robotic-assisted surgery on team
performance in the operating room. Background The introduction of surgical robots has …

Purpose: Comprehensive training and skill acquisition by urological surgeons are vital to
optimize surgical outcomes and patient safety. We sought to develop and validate PACE …

Objective To analyze and categorize causes for interruptions during robot-assisted surgery.
Methods We analyzed 10 robot-assisted prostatectomies that were performed by 3 surgeons …

Communication breakdowns in the operating room (OR) have been linked to errors during
surgery. Robot-assisted surgery (RAS), a new surgical technology, can lead to new …
