AAOS Orthopaedic Surgery Safety/Quality Survey 2011 • Survey Goals • Assess safety/quality in orthopaedics • Evaluate differences by: • sub-specialty • length of practice • practice type • Evaluate orthopaedicleadership attitudes regarding safety/quality • Assess orthopaedic safety practices/culture /errors • Identify opportunities/barriers for change
ResultsPositive Findings • >90% use Universal Protocol (UP) in Hospital OR’s • 82% Believe UP Improves Surgical Safety/Quality • No differences in utilization/understanding UP by: • Years in practice • Sub-specialty
ResultsNegative Findings • Surgical errors reported ALL orthopaedic settings • Most ‘undereducated’ safety science • <50% UP use in surgi-centers - rare in office/procedure rooms • Few surgeon safety leaders/champions • Younger surgeons < team communication knowledge
DefinitionSafe Orthopaedic Surgical Care • Safe surgical care is: • surgical care delivered with a highly reliable surgical system • designed to reduce, with a goal of eliminating, preventable harm/s • continuously monitored through safety data collection • effectively integrating interfaces between surgical: • patient and family • physicians, surgeons and staff • suppliers and equipment • and environments.* * Modified from Dev Raheja - Safer Hospital Care
DefinitionQuality Orthopaedic Surgical Care • Quality Surgical Care is: • standardized surgical care based upon • medical evidence and/or • consensus-based ‘best’ surgical practices • continually improved through innovation • validated through surgical quality data collection and analysis • achieving optimal composite surgical outcomes
DefinitionValue Orthopaedic Surgical Care • Value in surgical care: • focused on patient-centered outcomes • evaluated continually with surgical benchmarking • supported by onlyessential resources ($$$) • effectively coordinated through the entire surgical care episode* * Modified from Michael Porter – Redefining Healthcare
What is needed to improve Orthopaedic Surgical Safety? • Change historicalorthopaedic surgical behaviors • Implement surgicalsafety science and behaviors into ALL orthopaedic settings • Shift focus from ‘surgeon’ to ‘team’ performance • Establish sustainable ‘culture’ of surgical safety • Build and maintain orthopaedicsafety/quality data bases • Validate safety programs in orthopaedic settings • Collaboration with other safety stakeholder organizations
Key Elements Orthopaedic Surgical Safety • 6 C’s • (1) Communication – effective surgical team communication • (2) Consent – accurate timely informed consent • (3) Confirmation – proper surgical site marking/identification • (4) Checklists – use validated standardized processes • (5) Concentration – focused team without distraction • (6) Collection – systematic safety/quality data collection Submitted to CORR 10/2012 – Kuo, Robb
AAOS Surgical Safety Program 2012 • 2011 Fall Board Workshop • TeamSTEPPS • 80 Hospital/Surgicenter training sites 2012-2014 • 2012 Spring Board Workshop • Develop orthopaedic checklists • Establish/collaborate orthopaedic safety data bases • Surgical Safety Board Oversight Work Group 2012-2014 • Chair - Dr. Fred Azar • Orthopaedic Surgery Safety Summit • Chicago – 2012 • Orthopaedic Surgery Sub-Specialty Pilot Programs • Validate Pilot Safety Programs 2012-2014
Orthopaedic Safety Summit Goals • Unifyorthopaedicsregarding safety • Reduce errors/ ‘preventable harm/s’ • wrong site/side/level/procedure/implant/patient surgery • surgical complications • readmissions • Establishsurgical safety as a specialty priority • Improveorthopaedicoutcomes • Collaborate with other surgical safety stakeholder organizations
