Brief summary
The investigators aim to assess the impact of benchmarked and ranked feedback on anesthesiologists' perioperative temperature management and subsequent patient outcomes.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALBenchmarked Feedback
Participants receive data, during the 6 month intervention phase, regarding their monthly temperature management performance in the form of benchmarked feedback, which is the measure of their performance in comparison the standard set by the hospital.
BEHAVIORALRanked Feedback
Participants receive data, during the 6 month intervention phase, regarding their monthly temperature management performance in the form of ranked feedback, which is the measure of their performance in comparison to their peers.
