Evaluation of a novel mentor program to improve surgical care for US hospitals.
This study evaluated a novel mentor program for 27 US surgeons, charged with improving quality at their respective hospitals, having been paired 1:1 with 27 surgeon mentors through a state-wide quality improvement (QI) initiative. It found that mentorship played a vital role in advancing surgeon knowledge and engagement with QI in the Illinois Surgical Quality Improvement Collaborative.

An ethogram to quantify operating room behavior.
The researchers adopted a method from the field of ethology for observing and quantifying the interpersonal interactions of operating room (OR) team members. They found that the ethogram's high interobserver reliability indicates its utility for yielding largely objective, descriptive, quantitative data on OR behavior.
