LOINC description : Preoperative measures for patient safety include procedures that are intended to ensure
patient safety in that the correct procedure is performed on the correct patient and
patient body site and facilitate communication between surgical team members. Such
measures include: 1) preoperative verification of patient identity, procedure and
site; 2) marking the operative site; and 3) taking a time-out just prior to starting
the procedure during which surgical team members communicate about and confirm patient
identity, site and procedure, and resolve any other relevant questions or concerns.
Multiple organizations have published protocols and/or checklists for prevention of
surgical errors, including The Joint Commission (http://www.jointcommission.org/standards_information/up.aspx),
the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/patientsafety/safesurgery/checklist/en/)
and the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (https://www.aorn.org/guidelines/clinical-resources/tool-kits/correct-site-surgery-tool-kit/aorn-comprehensive-surgical-checklist).;
