Abstract
Introduction the risk management system is useful to identify, analyze, and reduce the risk occurrence of adverse events (AEs) in health services. This system suggests useful improvements to patients and to the whole institution and also contributes to the acquisition of a collective and organizational safety culture. This study presented a state of the art of the management of AEs identified in different services of a regional hospital in the north of Morocco. Methods this is a retrospective cross-sectional exploratory study carried out from 2017 to 2019 using observations and semi-structured interviews, which were recorded, re-transcribed, and analyzed. Data was also collected from audit reports, results of investigations of the nosocomial infection control committee and the risk management commission, AEs declaration sheets, and meetings reports. Results a number of 83 AEs were recorded, 10 of which were urgent. The reported events were related to care, infection risk, the drugs circuit, and medico-technical events. Two hundred cases of nosocomial infections were also recorded, of which 75 occurred in the intensive care unit and 35 in the maternity service. Surgical site infections were the most frequently reported complication. Adverse events were related to organizational failure, equipment problems, and errors related to professional practices. Conclusion our findings may guide the improvement of the event management system in order to reduce the occurrence of future incidents. Thus, improving the risk management system requires setting up training strategies for staff on the importance of this system and its mode of operation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide guidelines to define the place of human factors in the management of critical situations in anaesthesia and critical care. DESIGN A committee of nineteen experts from the SFAR and GFHS learned societies was set up. A policy of declaration of links of interest was applied and respected throughout the guideline-producing process. Likewise, the committee did not benefit from any funding from a company marketing a health product (drug or medical device). The committee followed the GRADE® method (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) to assess the quality of the evidence on which the recommendations were based. METHODS We aimed to formulate recommendations according to the GRADE® methodology for four different fields: 1/ communication, 2/ organisation, 3/ working environment and 4/ training. Each question was formulated according to the PICO format (Patients, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome). The literature review and recommendations were formulated according to the GRADE® methodology. RESULTS The experts' synthesis work and application of the GRADE® method resulted in 21 recommendations. Since the GRADE® method could not be applied in its entirety to all the questions, the guidelines used the SFAR "Recommendations for Professional Practice" A means of secured communication (RPP) format and the recommendations were formulated as expert opinions. CONCLUSION Based on strong agreement between experts, we were able to produce 21 recommendations to guide human factors in critical situations.

The impact of a structured handover checklist for intraoperative staff shift changes on effective communication, OR team satisfaction, and patient safety: a pilot study. Patient Saf Surg 2021; 15:25. [PMID: 34275484 PMCID: PMC8286430 DOI: 10.1186/s13037-021-00299-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2021] [Accepted: 07/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Handover without a structured format is prone to the omission of information and could be a potential risk to patient safety. We sought to determine the effect of a structured checklist on the quality of intraoperative change of shift handover between scrubs and circulars. Methods We conducted a control intervention study on operating room wards of two teaching hospitals from 20 Feb to 21 Nov 2020. This research was conducted in three stages as follows: assessing the current situation (as a group before the intervention), performing the intervention and evaluating the effect of using a checklist on handover quality after the intervention in two groups: with and without checklist. We examined the quality of handover between scrub and circular personnel in terms of handover duration and quality, omission of information and improvement in OR staff satisfaction. Results A total of 120 handovers were observed and evaluated. After intervention in the group using the checklist, the percentage of information omission in surgical report was decreased from 19.5 to 12.1% between scrubs (P < 0.00) and from 16.8 to 14.1% between circulars (P < 0.03). Also, in the role of scrub, the mean overall score of handover process quality was significantly higher after the intervention (x̄ = 7 ± 1.5) than before it (x̄ = 6.5 ± 0.9) (p < 0.02). In the role of circulating, despite the positive effect of overall score checklist, no significant difference was observed (p < 0.08). The use of checklist significantly increased the handover duration between scrubs (p < 0.03) and circulars (p < 0.00). The overall mean percentage of handover satisfaction increased from 67.5% before the intervention to 85.5% after the intervention (p < 0.00). Conclusion The implementation of a new structured handover checklist had a positive impact on improving the quality of communication between the surgical team, reducing the information omission rate and increasing the satisfaction.

[PMID: 30139905 PMCID: PMC6112409 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2018-022202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 165] [Impact Index Per Article: 27.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2018] [Revised: 07/11/2018] [Accepted: 07/26/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Communication breakdown is one of the main causes of adverse events in clinical routine, particularly in handover situations. The communication tool SBAR (situation, background, assessment and recommendation) was developed to increase handover quality and is widely assumed to increase patient safety. The objective of this review is to summarise the impact of the implementation of SBAR on patient safety. DESIGN A systematic review of articles published on SBAR was performed in PUBMED, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and PsycINFO in January 2017. All original research articles on SBAR fulfilling the following eligibility criteria were included: (1) SBAR was implemented into clinical routine, (2) the investigation of SBAR was the primary objective and (3) at least one patient outcome was reported. SETTING A wide range of settings within primary and secondary care and nursing homes. PARTICIPANTS A variety of heath professionals including nurses and physicians. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Aspects of patient safety (patient outcomes) defined as the occurrence or incidence of adverse events. RESULTS Eight studies with a before-after design and three controlled clinical trials performed in different clinical settings met the inclusion criteria. The objectives of the studies were to improve team communication, patient hand-offs and communication in telephone calls from nurses to physicians. The studies were heterogeneous with regard to study characteristics, especially patient outcomes. In total, 26 different patient outcomes were measured, of which eight were reported to be significantly improved. Eleven were described as improved but no further statistical tests were reported, and six outcomes did not change significantly. Only one study reported a descriptive reduction in patient outcomes. CONCLUSIONS This review found moderate evidence for improved patient safety through SBAR implementation, especially when used to structure communication over the phone. However, there is a lack of high-quality research on this widely used communication tool. TRIAL REGISTRATION none.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess, a year after the deployment of the check-list in the centre hospitalier Lyon Sud (CHLS - HCL), the perception of medical and nursing staff regarding the advantages of the check-list and its level of integration within the overall organization of the operating room. TYPE OF STUDY Descriptive study, questionnaires and audits. MATERIALS AND METHODS Distribution of individual questionnaires to the entire operating room staff, and observational audits in the operating room, to objectively assess the quality of implementation of the check-list (level II of the HAS - French National Autority of Health). RESULTS The medical and nursing staff participated equally in using the check-list. This was derived from the individual questionnaires and reinforced by the observational audit; they also revealed an uneven implementation of the three phases, with phase 3 almost never performed. In two-third of the cases, the time-out requirements did not comply with HAS instructions. Nurses and physicians perceived the check-list differently. Even though they agreed that the check-list should be a team effort and is useful, nurses noted a lack of investment and leadership from doctors, in addition to communication problems, which led to a feeling of disrespect towards them when they play the role of the check-list coordinator. CONCLUSION The questionnaire and the audit of practice showed strong adherence to the concept in that the surgical check-list was considered useful by all staff. However, it was also considered to be an added formality and its full implementation was rare in practice. There was a problem of distribution and acceptance of roles with nurses often observing that they were the only ones strictly following the check-list due to a lack of medical investment.
