  • Improved Operating Room Teamwork via SAFETY Prep: A Rural Community Hospital’s Experience
    World Journal of Surgery, 2009
    Co-Authors: John T. Paige, Deborah L. Aaron, Tong Yang, D. Shannon Howell, Sheila W. Chauvin
    Abstract:

    Background Effective teamwork contributes to patient safety in the operating room (OR). For the busy Rural surgeon, enhancing OR teamwork can be difficult. This manuscript describes results from the initial implementation of a preoperative briefing protocol at a Rural Community hospital. Methods From July 2006 to February 2007, teamwork among OR staff working with a single general surgeon at a Rural hospital in Alaska was evaluated before and after introduction of a preoperative briefing protocol. After each case, participants completed a questionnaire applying a 6-point Likert-type scale targeting effectiveness of both the preoperative briefing and OR team interaction. Mean values were calculated from 20 cases before introduction of the preoperative briefing and from another 16 cases after its introduction. Statistical analysis of the difference between pre- and post-protocol team performance was conducted with Student’s t test. Mean procedure times were calculated for matched cases pre- and post-intervention and were compared with Wilcoxon’s exact test. Results Ten members of the OR staff, including the general surgeon, completed both pre- and post-protocol questionnaires. Four additional members of the OR staff completed only pre-protocol questionnaires, and three additional members of the OR staff completed only post-protocol questionnaires. After implementation of the preoperative briefing protocol, the mean score of overall preoperative briefing was 1.01 units higher than before ( p
