With the support of the World Health Organization and the Joint Commission, the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) has organized the Time Out Commitment Campaign, creating several tools in support of National Time Out Day. This year, the event will be held on June 16 and reminds the entire surgical team how much Time Out matters to them and their patients. Each year, the AORN promotes National Time Out Day to emphasize the importance of surgical teams taking a time out before every operation to confirm correct patient, correct procedure, correct surgical site, and other important information to ensure patient safety.
Please comment below to share your experiences with National Time Out Day.
