The operating room (OR) is a very complex, dynamic, and high-stakes environment that relies on contributions from team members from multiple disciplines. Over 200 million surgical procedures are performed globally each year, and despite awareness of adverse effects, surgical errors continue to occur at a high rate. Surgical errors account for a significant number of adverse events.
In a Jan. 11 webinar, OR nurse Dee Morris will discuss common causes and prevention techniques. She will also discuss tips for speaking up and how to engage staff.
Additionally, discussion will include variations in safety culture and how they should be addressed when implementing culture change programs in the perioperative setting.
At the conclusion of this presentation, the participant will be able to:
- Review errors that occur in the surgical environment
- Discuss preventive techniques
- Establish a culture of safety
