Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of following eight specific practice guidelines on patient outcomes in elective colorectal surgeries, focusing on whether training increases compliance among physicians.
- After an educational intervention, there was a significant increase in adherence to five out of the eight guidelines, leading to lower readmission rates (2.4% vs 8.4%) and fewer deep surgical infections (0% vs 1.8%).
- The results suggest that better compliance among physicians correlates with improved patient outcomes, indicating that education for the surgical team can enhance adherence to best practices.
