Standardized practice design with electronic support mechanisms for surgical process improvement: reducing mechanical ventilation time

Hospital surgical care is complex and subject to unwarranted variation. As part of a multiyear effort, we sought to reduce variability in intraoperative care and management of mechanical ventilation in cardiac surgery. We identified a patient population whose care could be standardized and implement...
