133 In addition to teaching resident and fellow physicians, I enjoy teaching the OR and PACU nurses and techs about pediatric anesthesia, pediatrics in general, and the care of the anesthetized child. My feeling is that the team approach to and care of the anesthetized child is of paramount importance.

Description of Other Expertise
330 I am leader in a hospital wide Perioperative Patient Flow Process Improvement A natural extension of this project is a series of surgical patient flow and process improvement projects, including developing a Clinical Pathway to instruct front line clinicians and bedside nurses how to prepare inpatients for anesthesia and sedation. From this work, several projects were developed: I was part of creating an online module to educate practitioners on how to navigate the Periopertive Pathway. I assisted in the development of a Preoperative Order Set, which is accessed through EPIC, and initiated two separate work flows: Perioperative Flow and Communication and Internal Transport. I have been trained in the Kaizen process for Rapid Improvement, as well as having a green belt for Six Sigma.8
