Get ready to enhance surgical safety with our Pre-Operative & Time Out Checklist Boards. These custom boards are designed to prepare and manage patients effectively before surgery, focusing on both their physical and psychological well-being. They play a pivotal role in assessing and rectifying any physiological or psychological issues that could potentially increase surgical risks and adverse events. Multiple studies have demonstrated that checklists and timeout boards reduce complications within operating rooms. Dr. Candice Sauder in her article “The Next Step: Use of a Pre-Operative Checklist to Prevent Missteps," January 7, 2022 posted on the Patient Safety Network, describes a case that had overlapping care providers. A crucial step was not completed prior to surgery. The patient was put at risk for an adverse event. The surgeon, weighing all of the facts, moved forward with the surgery “under less-than-ideal circumstances.”   Equip your team with the right tools to enhance patient safety and streamline the preoperative process.
