12. Poll 2: Have You Tested the Checklist in the OR with One Surgical Team? Yes No, but we will be doing it soon No, we are not planning on testing it in the OR in the immediate future.

13. Poll 3: What Was the Result of Testing the Checklist in the OR? We added new items to our checklist. We changed the wording on the checklist. We removed some of the items that we had on our checklist. The checklist worked well and we didn’t have to modify the checklist.

14. Poll 4: What is Your Checklist Like? Part I 1. Does your surgical checklist have three phases in the OR, before induction of anesthesia, before skin incision, and before the patient leaves the room? 2. Are the items on the checklist meant to be read aloud, without reliance on memory, so all members of the team can hear them? 3. Does every person that is present in the operating room have the opportunity to say something before skin incision, at a minimum they introduce themselves by name and role or state that they are ready to proceed? (This includes perfusionists, surgical assistants, PAs, residents, observers, manufacturer representatives, and other observers)

15. 4. Will the surgeon share an operative plan and discuss: anticipated blood loss, expected duration of the procedure, possible difficulties, and implants or special equipment needed for the case with the entire team before skin incision? 5. Will the nurses and surgical techs discuss with the entire team their concerns about the patient? 6. Will the anesthesia providers discuss with the entire team the anesthetic plan and airway or other concerns? Poll 5: What Is Your Checklist Like? Part II

16. 7.Will the surgeon ask the entire team to speak up if they have any concerns during the case? 8.Before the patient leaves the OR will ALL members of the surgical team discuss equipment problems that need to be addressed, key concerns for recovery and management, and anything that could have been done better to make the case safer or more efficient? Poll 6: What Is Your Checklist Like? Part III

17. The Next Stop on Our Journey: Testing the Checklist With One Team For One Day

18. Testing the Checklist with One Team For One Day This might be a different team than the one that you originally tested the checklist with. Pick enthusiastic people to test the checklist with. Talk to everybody beforehand. Have a member of the implementation in the room or nearby so they can get everybody’s feedback and/or troubleshoot problems.

19. What To Focus Your Efforts On Over the Next Couple of Weeks Continue to test the checklist at your hospital. This time test it for an entire day with one OR Team. The next two webinars are extremely important, but we are not going to ask you to do a lot of homework. We would like to get all of the culture surveys back from you before mid February so we can provide you with the results at a time that helps you with the checklist implementation. In order to do this we need all of your information from you. Lizzie will call you or send you an email tomorrow with the information that we need to move forward with the surveys.
