Safe Brain Initiative - Advancing Anaesthesia and Perioperative Personalized Care Through Continuous Quality Improvement

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to improve the care of patients undergoing surgery and anesthesia by monitoring and reducing side effects such as nausea, severe pain, anxiety, stress, postoperative delirium (POD), and neurocognitive dysfunctions. These issues can lead to long-term cognitive problems, lower quality of life, and higher mortality. The Safe Brain Initiative (SBI) collects high-quality routine data to help healthcare providers understand and reduce these adverse effects, supporting patient-centered and precision care. The SBI platform includes 18 core, non-invasive recommendations designed to detect and prevent adverse outcomes during perioperative care. SBI-Muda focuses on improving operating room efficiency, reducing delirium, and enhancing patient-reported outcomes by providing detailed feedback on hospital metrics like surgery timing and recovery durations. SBI-Us collects anonymous feedback from healthcare staff and patients to benchmark and improve the quality of care from both perspectives. Participants aged 18 and older will be involved in this observational study, during which data on patient well-being, side effects, and postoperative delirium will be collected. Healthcare professionals will receive systematic feedback to guide care improvements. The study measures include postoperative delirium and patient-reported outcomes throughout the perioperative period. Participation may last through the surgical and immediate recovery phases, with continuous quality improvement efforts ongoing.
