Objective:
To investigate how task delegation for perioperative anticoagulation management is reported in protocols and daily practice, and how this translates to additional information in work-as-imagined and work-as-done using FRAM to identify improvement possibilities.
Methods:
Existing FRAM visualisations of perioperative anticoagulant management in a Dutch academic hospital were extended to include task delegation in protocols using document analysis and in daily practice using a focus group of eight healthcare professionals, analysed using content analysis.
Results:
Distinguishing between formal responsibility and task execution revealed additional functions and roles in both work-as-done and work-as-imagined, resulting in more discrepancies between work-as-done and work-as-imagined. Professionals experienced responsibility for delegated tasks, even without formal accountability, and needed to feel qualified and capable as well as complete clear information to accept these tasks.
Conclusions:
Including task delegation in FRAM models improves the understanding of healthcare processes, communication about distribution of responsibilities and thereby development of more effective improvement strategies.

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
