Table 5.

Specialty making the suggestion for task ownership (left-hand column) by times a particular “owner” was suggested (table body). Numbers bolded and underlined indicate the number of a given specialty who felt their specialty could own the stage. Participants were not limited to one choice for each stage, so total numbers exceed the total number in our sample (n=20).
