Systematic recording and discussion of intraoperative adverse events using ClassIntra: results of a qualitative context analysis before implementation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intra- and postoperative adverse events (AEs) are devastating to patients and costly for healthcare systems. In 2008, the World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist was introduced to minimize morbidity and mortality and to enhance team performance. It consists of three parts whereof the third part, the sign-out at the end of surgery, is generally performed poorly. Addressing intraoperative AEs and discussion of the consecutive postoperative management should take place during this often-omitted sign-out. To address this issue, a national, multicentre quality improvement project (CIBOSurg-ClassIntra® for Better Outcomes in Surgery) is currently being conducted in Switzerland. This project evaluates the effectiveness and implementation of systematic recording of i
