Wrong Site Surgery Day March 9, 2011
Like the five stages of death to correct and to completely avoid wrong-site, wrong-patient and wrong-procedure surgery we first have to get past denial and shame about it. Make no mistake about it, these never-events can be avoided, if we will only start talking about it when it does happen. One way to avoid these embarrassing mistakes is to read the chart and to perform a time-out before the surgery.
