Narrative feedback from OR personnel about the safety of their surgical practice before and after a surgical safety checklist intervention.

Alidina S, Hur HC, Berry WR, et al. Int J Qual Health Care. 2017 May 8; [Epub ahead of print].

This qualitative study used data from free-text survey comments to examine the effectiveness of surgical safety checklist implementation at 11 hospitals. Although most operating room staff viewed the checklist positively, obtaining buy-in for consistent checklist use by all staff remained challenging.
