“The Jackson Table Is a Pain in the…”: A Qualitative Study of Providers’ Perception Toward a Spinal Surgery Table

Conclusions This study is relevant to everyday practice for spinal surgical team members and advances our understanding of how surgical teams qualitatively view the current process of patient positioning for spinal surgery. Providers recommended best practices for using the Jackson Table, which can be achieved through standardized practice for transfer of patients, educational tools, and checklists for equipment before patient transfer and positioning. This research has identified several important practice opportunities for improving provider and patient safety in spine surgery.
