A Network Analysis of Perioperative Communication in a Military Medical Setting

Abstract

To characterize the typical Operating Room (OR) communication patterns of clinicians at Malcolm Grow Medical Clinics and Surgery Center (MGMCSC) and to determine how the interdependent relationships affect individual and group behavior, using the methods of social network analysis (SNA). We developed two Individual Communication Index (ICI) models for each network member based on how well they are perceived to communicate by other network members. The specific aims were: 1: Assess the correlation of the ICI with individual centrality within the network. 2: Investigate the factors that shape interpersonal communication. 3: Investigate the network factors that shape group-level communication.
