Compliance, Completion, Surgical Safety ChecklistAbstract
Introduction: The Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) was developed by the WHO to help operating teams reduce the occurrence of patient harm. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate compliance of checklist completion and its barrier for implementation.
Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 630 patients undergoing elective and
emergency surgery at Phichit Hospital during March 1-30, 2017. The SSC data were collected from medical records after surgery includes sign-in, time-out, sign-out, involved health care disciplines, completeness rate of SSC and its barrier for implementation.
Result: The compliance of using surgical safety checklist was 630 cases (100%), the completeness of
checklist was only 3.17 %, (4% in elective cases and 1.6% in emergency cases). A small number of surgeons participated in this activities (13.8%). Forty four percent of health care team reported that time was a main barrier.
Conclusion: The surgical safety checklist was used in every cases but completeness remained poor because of time constraint.
