Popis: One of the most common errors in intraoperative medication delivery is the result of “syringe swap,” when syringes that have been mixed up lead to the incorrect administration of a drug. An improvement of syringe organization could reduce medication administration errors. Recently, there have been many efforts to improve medication organization; however, these interventions struggle to achieve widespread use, even though they typically report substantial improvements in error rates and medication awareness in home institutions.A syringe organization hub was developed based on observations, interviews, and past designs. In order to assess the perceived acceptance of the hub, we used the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to develop a survey that was distributed to anesthesia providers at two medical institutions in the United States: one in the Mid-Atlantic and one in the southeast.The results of the four different linear regression models revealed that participants at the southeastern institution had significantly lower usefulness ratings (p
