The Surgical Safety Checklist and teamwork coaching tools: a study of inter-rater reliability.
The authors assessed the inter-rater reliability (IRR) of two novel observation tools for measuring surgical safety checklist performance and teamwork. They found that both the Checklist Coaching Tool and the Surgical Teamwork Tool demonstrated substantial IRR and required limited training to use, indicating that both instruments may be used to observe checklist performance and teamwork in the operating room. They recommended that further refinement and calibration of observer expectations, particularly in rating teamwork, could improve the utility of the tools.

AHRQ: CUSP – scaling up a safety framework.
In this article, the author describes the Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program, or CUSP, toolkit and its role in addressing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and other patient safety factors. The author outlines the components of the core CUSP toolkit which help clinicians: learn about CUSP, assemble the team, engage senior executives, understand the science of safety, identify defects through “sensemaking”, implement teamwork and communications and apply CUSP.
