Applying the WHO conceptual framework for the International Classification for Patient Safety to a surgical population.
The researchers aimed to test the applicability of the International Classification for Patient Safety to a surgical population by developing a codebook for future use by researchers. They found that the most common severity classification was 'reportable circumstance' and that the most common incident type was 'resources/organizational management.' They noted that several aspects of surgical care were encompassed by more than one classification, including operating room scheduling, delays in care, trainee-related incidents, interruptions, and handoffs. They concluded that a framework for patient safety can be applied to facilitate the organization and analysis of surgical safety data.
