Development and application of a non-technical skills coaching intervention framework for surgeons: A pilot quality improvement initiative.

ABSTRACT: Non-technical skills (NTS) challenges experienced by surgeons may degrade performance, ultimately impacting the safety and quality of care delivered to patients. The objectives of this work were to develop a framework for NTS coaching for surgeons and implement a coaching program utilizing the developed NTS coaching framework. Leveraging adult learning and self-determination theories, a specialty-agnostic NTS coaching framework was developed for individual coaching sessions with robotic surgeons. The framework was used to deliver NTS coaching sessions to robotic surgeons. Surgeon's robotic procedures were recorded, and expert raters assessed their NTS using the Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons tool. Measures of surgeon satisfaction, learning outcomes, and performance improvement were dete
