Teaching non-technical skills: the patient centered approach

J Thorac Dis. 2021 Mar;13(3):2044-2053. doi: 10.21037/jtd.2019.01.48.ABSTRACTThe surgical setting is a highly complex environment where, in ideal conditions, everything should be under control to ensure a positive outcome. However, the existing complexity opens the possibility for multiple failures along the process and many of those failures are related to what is call the non-technical skills of the members of the team. We cannot eradicate human error, but we can try to avoid future mistakes in our daily practice introducing the awareness for providing a high-quality care in which patient safety is crucial. This paper presents an easy approach to concepts and teaching possibilities of those non-technical skills.PMID:33841993 | PMC:PMC8024801 | DOI:10.21037/jtd.2019.01.48
