Systematic Postoperative Nausea Prophylaxis Feedback Improves Clinical Performance in Anesthesiology Residents

摘要

BackgroundElectronic medical records can generate a wealth of information regarding compliance with perioperative clinical guidelines as well as patient outcomes. Utilizing this information to provide resident physicians with measures of their own clinical performance may positively impact residents’ clinical performance. We hypothesize that providing residents with objective measures of their individual adherence to evidence based postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) management protocols will improve their compliance with standardized treatment methods.
