Area of Science:

Healthcare Administration
Patient Safety
Surgical Nursing

Background:

Significant variations in surgical count policies existed across pediatric hospitals.
Discrepancies included inconsistent instrument counts and exceptions to radiographic verification for needle counts.

Purpose of the Study:

To collaboratively develop a standardized pediatric surgical count policy.
To improve surgical count practices and enhance patient safety.

Main Methods:

A task force reviewed existing literature and count policies from 30 hospitals.
Best practices were identified and synthesized to create a unified policy.

Main Results:

A single, standardized pediatric surgical count policy was developed.
The policy represents a consensus of best practices from national experts.

Conclusions:

The project highlights a successful nurse-led, national collaborative effort.
The standardized policy is a crucial step toward improving pediatric patient safety in surgical settings.
