Minnesota Safe Surgery Coalition (need to change title)
Goal of the Coalition
The primary goal of the Minnesota Safe Surgery Coalition is to eliminate wrong-site, wrong procedure and wrong patient events within a 3 year time-frame by using a multi-stakeholder, multi-pronged approach that engages physicians, front line staff, and facility leaders.
Goal of the Time Out Campaign
The Time Out Campaign is the first project phase and is designed to eliminate wrong site events through administration, physicians and front-line staff joining together to hold each other accountable for conducting robust, effective time-outs for every patient, every invasive procedure, every time.
Why is this Campaign Necessary?
Reports of adverse events involving procedures performed on the wrong site/side/level have been increasing.

• Last year, over 60% of wrong site procedures were on the wrong side - left vs. right
• The majority of events occur in the OR, but a number of reports have involved areas throughout the facility – e.g. IR, anesthesia, ED, bedside, cath lab
• Almost all were breakdowns in basic best practices; primarily in the Time Out, such as:
o Site mark not visualized
o Source documents not referenced
o Stating “I agree” rather than independent verification
What is the Campaign?
The campaign will provide a united theme and pre-packaged tools that administrators, managers, physician leaders, surgeons/physicians and front-line staff can utilize to promote the Time Out process across their organizations.
When will the Campaign Start?
The launch of the campaign is scheduled to coincide with AORN National Time Out Day - June 15th.
