Today, The Joint Commission joins AORN to celebrate the 20th anniversary of National Time Out Day! National Time Out Day is a time to reflect on the importance of taking a step back before every surgical procedure to make sure that the right patient receives the right procedure on the right site. Learn more about this patient safety campaign: https://lnkd.in/gM3CHFgU
Take time to empower improvement. National Time Out Day (June 12) is critically important for OR nurses for a few key reasons: 1️⃣ Prevents Surgical Errors: The "Time Out" is a standardized safety protocol where the entire surgical team pauses before the procedure to verify crucial information. 2️⃣ Empowers Nurses to Speak Up: The Time Out protocol creates a space where any team member, including nurses, can voice concerns if something seems amiss. 3️⃣ Strengthens Team Communication: A successful Time Out requires clear communication from all team members – surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists. 4️⃣ Raises Awareness of Patient Safety: National Time Out Day can motivate nurses and other healthcare professionals to stay vigilant and prioritize safety measures. Get AORN's surgical checklist, The Joint Commission’s Universal Protocol, and so many resources, as well as a poster and a cake topper: https://lnkd.in/gM3CHFgU. Special thanks to Ansell, proud sponsor of AORN's National Time Out Day. Special thanks to Joint Commission for the amazing partnership. #ORNurse #Nursing #Nurses #NurseLife #Nurse #Perioperative
