“Good Catch” Reporting as a Foundation for Safety Improvement in Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Abstract

Historically, improvement in safety focuses on incident-related data. Collecting data concerning variation from routine cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) practice may provide a better foundation for development of safety improvement initiatives. This project aims to: identify whether education on the importance of collecting “Good Catch” data, including variations in practice during CPB, increases safety reporting and the opportunity to guide safety improvement initiatives.
