Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Patient Safety
  • Surgical Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Surgical safety is paramount, with teamwork and process efficiency being key factors.
  • Investigating combined interventions for surgical safety is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
  • A controlled study compared a plastic surgery team receiving an intervention with an Orthopaedic theatre team as a control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of combining teamwork training with lean process improvement for enhancing surgical safety.
  • To assess the impact of this combined intervention on team performance and patient safety outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A controlled interrupted time series study design was employed.
  • The intervention involved 3 months of combined teamwork training and lean process improvement.
  • Evaluations included non-technical skills (NOTCHSS II), technical performance (glitch rate), WHO checklist compliance, and patient safety outcomes (complications, readmissions, length of stay).

Main Results:

  • The intervention group showed significant improvements in WHO checklist compliance (Time Out and Sign Out) and Oxford NOTECHS II scores.
  • Glitch rates decreased in the intervention group while increasing in the control group (p = 0.001).
  • Complications and length of stay showed a trend towards reduction in the intervention group compared to the control group.

Conclusions:

  • The combination of teamwork training and systems improvement positively impacted surgical team process measures.
  • This integrated approach demonstrated a trend towards improved patient safety outcomes.
  • Addressing both systemic and cultural aspects of safety is recommended for reducing patient risks in surgical settings.
