Webinar 3: Baseline OR Surgical Safety Culture Survey

Last Week’s Call Building an implementation team. The background of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist. Website Overview.

How Did the Homework Go?

Homework to Date Build an implementation team. Schedule a time and venue for a meeting to take place after January 26th.

Poll 1: Tell Us About Your Checklist Implementation Team We haven’t had a chance to do anything yet. We are just starting to build an implementation team and we are identifying people to be a part of it. We have identified some core members of the team, but we are looking for physician champions. We have an implementation team assembled that consists of at least one administrator/quality improvement officer, anesthesiologist/CRNA, circulating nurse, scrub tech, and surgeon

Poll 2: Were You Able to Identify a Time and a Venue to Hold a Large Meeting to Take Place Towards the End of January? Yes We are still working on finding a time and location. Our hospital does not have an established forum to hold this meeting.

Poll 3: Choose one thing that makes you have a really bad day in the OR Our team wasn’t prepared for something. I didn’t feel respected. I felt that my concerns were not heard. Our team didn’t have the necessary equipment. There were significant delays. The paperwork was not in order. I didn’t have all of the information that I needed to do my job. Our team did not work well together. There were wasted resources. The case didn’t end on time.

The Next Step in Our Journey Together Towards A Safer OR Administering a Culture Survey

Background of the Surgical Safety Checklist Culture Survey

Why Administer a Culture Survey? Understanding where you are right now will impact the way you implement. Surveys can give you valuable information to measure your progress with putting the checklist into place. You may be surprised by what you find when see the survey results.

Poll 4: Your Experience with Culture Surveys Do you administer culture surveys in your hospital? Have you looked at the culture specifically in the OR? Have you been able to get physicians to take the culture survey?
