Treatment and study plan

Benchmarked Feedback

Behavioral

Participants receive data, during the 6 month intervention phase, regarding their monthly temperature management performance in the form of benchmarked feedback, which is the measure of their performance in comparison the standard set by the hospital.

Ranked Feedback

Behavioral

Participants receive data, during the 6 month intervention phase, regarding their monthly temperature management performance in the form of ranked feedback, which is the measure of their performance in comparison to their peers.

Primary outcomes

  1. Patient peri-operative temperature

    Time frame: Within the 30 minutes immediately before or the 15 minutes immediately after anesthesia end time.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Intraoperative warming device usage perioperative

    Time frame: intraoperative

  2. Patient post-operative surgical site infection (SSI) rate

    Time frame: Within 30 days of surgery
