Communication is key to excellent patient care. If lines of communication break down, it takes hard work and determination to rectify the issues and mend professional relationships. Such was the case among our anesthesia care teams; and when the issues were identified, members of our department and a devoted group of CRNAs sprang into action creating the Anesthesia Care Team Optimization Committee (ACTOC) in 2019.

Goal

Blazing the trail to unparalleled perioperative team care

Mission

Optimize the perioperative care of our patients by building and promoting an inclusive, respectful, and fulfilling anesthesia care team
