The idea
Patient safety in surgery begins with the preoperative assessment, long before the patient reaches the operating room.
In practice
Nurses gather the patient's history, allergies, medications and risks, so the surgical team can plan for each patient's particular needs.
Where people slip
The scrub person reads what the team learned, such as allergies and special needs, before setting up.
