Alice Heiser, BSN, RN, CAPA; and Pam Ertel, RN, BSN, CNOR, RNFA
Internal monitoring of staff compliance to the Universal Protocol prompted us to develop a video for re-educating staff on wrong-site surgery. The 14-minute movie (www.outpatientsurgery.net/videos) shows our staff in action as they confirm a patient's identity, procedure and surgical site by following a script for how we want that info checked and rechecked before surgery. Here are the 3 major components of wrong-site surgery prevention that we covered in the video.
