In Part II we will continue discussing the IPSG implementation challenges. According to WHO, unsafe surgical care complications occur in up to 25% of inpatient cases. IFC’s quality assessment shows that every third surveyed hospital has zero awareness about high-alert medications management requirements. 38% of all general medicine cases involve a communication failure*.
All these facts show the importance of IPSG implementation. But while we try to break through the challenges in their implementation, many questions arise as to how to do it:
- How to adapt the WHO Surgical Safety checklist?
- How to increase staff engagement in surgery Sign In/Time Out/Sign Out?
- How to store and administer high-alert medications safely?
- How to decrease the risk of verbal orders for the patients?
