Abstract

The focus on surgical risk has evolved from solely considering the patient’s disease process and complexity of the procedure to including additional focus on the health provider’s impact when evaluating surgical outcomes. From November 2015 to November 2016, thirty-three patients were reported to have entered the operating room (OR) with incomplete or missing required documentation. Other concerns included: strained employee relations, error due to time restraints and pressures of efficiency, absent handoff from the preoperative RN to the OR circulator, perioperative staff not valuing the need of a handoff, and poor patient satisfaction scores for overall level of safety.
