Pre-surgery briefings and safety climate in the operating theatre.
BMJ Qual Saf 20(8):711-7 (2011) PMID 21676948
In 2008, the WHO produced a surgical safety checklist against a background of a poor patient safety record in operating theatres. Formal team briefings are now standard practice in high-risk settings such as the aviation industry and improve safety, but are resisted in surgery. Research evidence is needed to persuade the surgical workforce to adopt safety procedures such as briefings.
