SafeOR
Every year in Canadian hospitals, one in eighteen people experiences a patient safety incident. More than half of these incidents involve surgical care. But most do not result from a lapse in technical skill; they more often involve team non-technical skills and system factors.
SafeOR™ is a quality initiative designed to support hospital surgical teams in advancing safety, culture and efficiency within today's Canadian operating room.
The SafeORTM Program
The comprehensive SafeOR Program is offered on-site at Canadian hospitals.
Let us introduce you to the SafeOR program with this brief video:
