A Simple Surgery Checklist Saves Lives Case Study

A Simple Surgery Checklist Saves Lives - Case Study archetypeThey do not initiate for vital steps in the regular process but attempts to direct failures of the process. Based on the four flow charts, the system has much duplication of activities or redundancies in term especially on the number of times the patient has to give his consent. The patient consent is required in more in six scenarios in the system, from the holding room, anesthesiologist to the surgeon. The timing is such that they occur at a period when it is not late to correct the problem. This helps to ensure and further improve the safety of the patient. WHO working(a) Safety Checklist recognizes three stages of an carrying out, in each stage, the operation coordinator must check the completion of the task before embarking on the next stage (Szalavitz, 2009). The patient has three separate interactions with the health providers in the following signifier of the WHO surgical safety checklist During the Sign In s tage (before the administration of anesthesia), the patient is identified, location, informed consent, and the procedure of operation are confirmed. The location/site marking is established and the finishing point of the anesthesia safety dance step is done (Cavoukian, 2009). A confirmation of whether a functional pulse rate meter is present in the patient is done. Several other issues of c erstwhilerns are addressed such as allergies, aspiration risk, air agency risks, loss of excess blood, and the availability of effective tools and equipment for operation purposes. The Time Out stage is performed before the wampum of the skin. Everyone involved in the operation introduces themselves to real names and their functions in the operation. They then confirm the patient once again, the identity/name of the patient, location/site, and procedure and deliberates on expected critical situations. Antibiotic prophylaxis, scheduling, and presentation of mental imagery studies are also conf irmed at this stage.
