About
Dr. Karin Granqvist is a leading researcher in surgical team dynamics and the sociotechnical implications of robotic-assisted surgery. Her work critically examines how the introduction of advanced surgical robots transforms not only technical outcomes but also the complex interactions, communication, and performance of entire operating room teams. In her landmark systematic mixed studies review, "The Impact of Robotic-Assisted Surgery on Team Performance" (2020), which has garnered 44 citations, Granqvist synthesized evidence to reveal that while robots enhance surgical precision, they can paradoxically disrupt team coordination and introduce new challenges for non-technical skills. This foundational contribution has shaped how hospitals and surgical training programs approach the integration of robotic systems, emphasizing the need for team-based training alongside technical proficiency. Dr. Granqvist’s research is pivotal for students and practitioners in surgical education, human factors engineering, and healthcare management, offering a nuanced understanding of how technology reshapes collaborative work in high-stakes environments. Her work continues to influence patient safety protocols and the design of future surgical systems.
