CRICO Insights: July 2021
Triggers for Residents to Contact their Attending
MPL cases involving residents generally center around communications failures, so a shared notification guideline was developed by the chiefs of surgery of several CRICO-insured institutions.
Here are some triggers that were identified for a resident to contact their attending:
| 1. | All critical changes in a surgical patient’s condition (generally within 1 hour following evaluation) |
| 2. | Discharge from the hospital or from the ED (requires discussion and approval) |
| 3. | Transfer out of ICU (requires discussion and approval) |
| 4. | A situation feels more complicated than the trainee can manage |
| 5. | Clinical staff or the patient request that the attending surgeon be contacted |
