Poor communication between team members is associated with poorer patient outcomes. To improve team communication in the operating room (OR), in one health system, personalized surgical caps with name and role were distributed to all perioperative staff. Before and after the caps were distributed, the highest mean survey score was for the item "knowing the name of an interdisciplinary team member is important for patient care." Patient outcomes (e.g., surgical site infections, return to OR) did not change during the study period, however, 72% of perioperative staff indicated they would like the hospital to continue providing named surgical caps.
