Improved Surgical Safety Checklist Performance with Simulation Training

OR Black Box technology assessed surgical safety checklist performance during a study comparing in-situ simulation intervention. The simulation group showed improved debrief quality (84% vs. 79%, p<0.001), compliance (73% vs. 66%, p<0.001), and engagement (80% vs. 73%, p=0.012) compared to those not exposed to simulation. No significant differences were noted for timeout scores. The intervention fostered a safer training environment and better outcomes for surgical teams involved in the simulation.

• Why it matters: Debrief quality and engagement in surgical checklists needs improvement.
