Surgical Patient Safety System

The Surgical Patient Safety System is a set of standardized procedures designed to prevent mistakes during surgery. It includes steps like verifying patient identity, confirming the right procedure and surgical site, and ensuring all necessary equipment is available. The system encourages team communication and a shared checklist to reduce errors, improve teamwork, and enhance patient outcomes. Its goal is to create a safer surgical environment by promoting careful planning and coordination, minimizing the risk of preventable complications or harm during surgical procedures.
