Abstract

KISS stands for "Keep it simple, stupid!" Sometimes those of us who cringe at the inelegance of this adage, nevertheless resort to it to point out that quality system policies, procedures, and work instructions should be described in clear and simple terms. This should also apply to process validation. This article will describe a logical approach to certain key elements of process validation that should help in meeting that objective.

[Retained foreign bodies from the view of the OR nurse].

Patient safety in the operating room is of high priority for the surgical team and for all healthcare workers involved. Counting procedures contribute to minimizing potential risks for the patients, especially in preventing them from leaving the operating room with retained, unintended foreign bodies. A total of 64% of operating room nurses involved in a survey are reported as having been involved in a surgical procedure in which the correct count prevented foreign bodies from being left in the patient. In addition, the strengths and potential weak points of the counting procedures could be identified. The results of the survey and drafts for a standard counting control as well as procedural recommendations are presented for discussion. A recommendation can be provided for each surgical department in order to check their own counting methods for avoiding potential risks.
