Abstract

Previous studies supported training multidisciplinary teams using an evidence-based tool such as the Comprehensive Surgical Checklist (CSC) to promote communication, teamwork, and safety. Evidence showed the CSC's four-phased approach reduced avoidable adverse events that were problematic in the single-phased checklist of the studied organization for completing the TimeOut. The aim of this quality-improvement project was to increase safe surgical readiness by adopting the CSC and creating surgical-team awareness of the Phase I Preprocedure Check-In elements.
