Implementation of an endoscopy safety checklist

Implementation of an endoscopy safety checklist

Patient safety and quality improvement are increasingly prioritised across all areas of healthcare. Errors in endoscopy are common but often inconsequential and therefore go uncorrected. A series of minor errors, however, may culminate in a significant adverse event. This is unsurprising given the rising volume and complexity of cases coupled with shift working patterns. There is a growing body...

Person-centered endoscopy safety checklist: Development, implementation, and evaluation

AIM To describe the development and implementation of a person-centered endoscopy safety checklist and to evaluate the effects of a "checklist intervention". METHODS The checklist, based on previously published safety checklists, was developed and locally adapted, taking patient safety aspects into consideration and using a person-centered approach. This novel checklist was introduced to the ...

Effective surgical safety checklist implementation.

BACKGROUND Research suggests that surgical safety checklists can reduce mortality and other postoperative complications. The real world impact of surgical safety checklists on patient outcomes, however, depends on the effectiveness of hospitals' implementation processes. STUDY DESIGN We studied implementation processes in 5 Washington State hospitals by conducting semistructured interviews wi...
