Abstract
When the decision is made to introduce a new technological innovation, it is only the very start of a complex journey. New technology can often be met with mixed emotions from the perioperative team such as excitement and apprehension. If the correct implementation process is not established at the beginning, perioperative teams can fear change instead of embracing it; this could also potentially have a negative effect on the desired result, which is the delivery of safe patient care.
