    Surgical team consistency is crucial for patient safety. This study mapped staff sharing across teams, revealing that nurses can lead efforts to improve surgical team function and patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Surgical Safety
    • Team Dynamics

    Background:

    • Perioperative team membership consistency is under-researched, yet vital for patient safety.
    • Understanding staff sharing patterns is key to optimizing surgical team performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe perioperative team membership and staffing across four surgical specialties.
    • To identify staff sharing patterns and their potential impact on team dynamics and patient outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Social network analysis, descriptive statistics, and bivariate correlations were used.
    • Staffing and case data from 100 surgical procedures and 171 staff members were analyzed.
    • Mapping identified staff shared across four surgical teams.

    Main Results:

    • 103 (60.2%) of staff members were nurses.
    • 18 of 171 (10.5%) staff members were regularly shared across teams.
    • Weak but significant correlations were found between staff numbers, procedure start time, procedure length, and patient acuity.

    Conclusions:

    • Personnel influencing multiple team cultures can be identified through mapping.
    • Nurses, as the majority of surgical team members, are well-positioned to lead the development of high-functioning surgical teams.
    • Improving team consistency can enhance patient safety in perioperative settings.
