Locating errors through networked surveillance: A multimethod approach to peer assessment, hazard identification, and prioritization of patient safety efforts in cardiac surgery.
The objectives of the study were to develop a scientifically sound and feasible peer-to-peer assessment model that allows health-care organizations to evaluate patient safety in cardiovascular operating rooms and to establish safety priorities for improvement. It identified 6 top priority hazard themes: safety culture, teamwork and communication, infection prevention, transitions of care, failure to adhere to practices or policies, and operating room layout and equipment.
