Preface

As healthcare providers familiar with behind-the-scenes workings of hospitals and operating rooms, we have grown accustomed to functioning at a high level in an extremely complex work environment. Over the past few decades healthcare complexity has grown exponentially, spanning the entire care continuum. For surgeons, complexity exists for initial access and utilization of care by patients and permeates into shared decision-making regarding treatment. This all occurs before orchestrating the actual day in the operating room or conducting a technically demanding operation.
