About
Dr. Julia Schreyer is a leading researcher in surgical safety and human factors, specializing in the assessment of non-technical skills (NTS) within robotic-assisted surgery. Her major contribution is the development and validation of RAS-NOTECHS, the first observational tool specifically designed to measure teamwork, communication, and decision-making in robotic operating rooms—a setting where physical separation and technological mediation create unique team challenges. Her seminal 2021 paper on this tool has garnered 36 citations, establishing a new standard for evaluating NTS in minimally invasive contexts. This work directly addresses critical gaps in patient safety, as poor non-technical skills are known to compromise workflow and outcomes. Dr. Schreyer’s research bridges cognitive ergonomics and surgical practice, offering practical frameworks for training and quality improvement. Her achievements include pioneering a validated metric that is now being adopted in simulation curricula and OR audits worldwide, positioning her as a key voice in the evolving field of robotic surgery teamwork.
