Abstrakt: Introduction: Safety checklist (CL) in the operating block is a quality tool which allows to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality. That is one of the French National Health Authority requirements for the certification procedure of healthcare institutions. This study aimed to conduct a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the use of this tool in the central operating block at the Regional Medical Center in Saint Louis.
Methods: A prospective evaluation of the indicators for monitoring the practical use of the checklist and the contribution to the improvement of surgical practices in the operating block at the Regional Medical Center in Saint Louis was initiated since the launch of this study in March 2016.
Results: CL utilization rate was 75%, compliance rate was 60%; information rate was 99% for the pre-induction items, 93% for the pre-incision items and 88% for the postoperative items. Only 73% of analyzed CL were filled with an effective oral communication according to the three items. CL helped to detect hardware failures and/or adverse events in 15% of cases. No patient's identification or operated side error were objectified in our study.
Conclusion: CL contributes in the development of the culture of patient's safety in the operating block and has led to the establishment of a risk mapping in the operating block. Nevertheless, while important, it shouldn't be considered a magic tool to avoid errors but integrated into the improvement in health care quality with other programs such as the reporting of adverse events and the the review of morbidity and mortality.
