| description | A risk management program based on AS–NZS4360 risk management standards was developed and implemented in the operating room of Peking University Third Hospital. To accomplish this task, we developed a risk quantification matrix and a risk register form to identify potential risks in the operating room, and then implemented operating room policies designed to reduce or eliminate those risks. We also established a consultation mechanism and risk monitoring system designed to minimize risks to operation room nurses. Finally, we continuously seek to improve our operating room risk management capabilities, so we can continue to improve the quality of service provided and guarantee the safety of surgical patients. |
