WHO Checklist
Systematic application of the World Health Organization safe surgery checklist before, during and after the operation.
Safe Surgery
Our Safe Surgery Approach
Right patient, right side, right procedure.
Surgical safety is a multi-layered system in which the checklist, team communication and technology infrastructure work together. At Hisar Hospital, this system is applied as standard in all operating rooms.
Our Core Practices
Team Communication
Standard briefing and debriefing meetings of the surgeon, anaesthesia, nurse and technician teams.
Patient Verification
Double-check processes including identity, side/procedure and allergy verification.
Vital Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of patient safety with advanced monitorization during and after the operation.
Sign In
Before anaesthesia begins; assessment of identity, side, procedure, allergy and difficult airway.
Time Out
Immediately before the skin incision, the procedure, critical steps and antibiotic prophylaxis are reviewed with the whole team.
Sign Out
Before closure, the procedure name, instrument-swab count and specimens are verified; the discharge plan is discussed.
Outcome
Safe surgery protocols reduce complication rates, intraoperative errors and adverse events, and increase patient trust. Process indicators are monitored regularly and turned into improvement projects.
