A Singapore-based prospective study transformed the surgical safety checklist through systematic reimplementation. Penetration and fidelity significantly improved, and team performance, assessed by the Oxford Non-Technical Skills system, rose substantially. Device-related interruptions decreased, safety culture surveys showed significant enhancements, and exploratory findings hinted at reduced patient safety events and complications. This study advocates for the impactful revitalization of established safety interventions to fortify patient safety culture and outcomes.
