WHO Surgical Safety Checklist
(NABH & JCI Aligned)
A JCI & NABH-aligned checklist based on the WHO's life-saving protocol to prevent 'never events' in the operating room.
Why This Checklist is Essential
Wrong-site, wrong-procedure, and wrong-patient surgeries are catastrophic but preventable failures. This checklist operationalizes the globally recognized World Health Organization (WHO) Surgical Safety protocol. It enforces a mandatory 'Time Out' before incision, where the entire surgical team—surgeons, anesthetists, and nurses—verbally confirm the patient's identity, the surgical site, and the procedure. Implementing this is a foundational requirement for JCI and NABH accreditation and is proven to significantly reduce surgical complications and mortality.
Pain Points Solved
Prevent Catastrophic Surgical Errors
Eliminates the communication gaps that lead to wrong-site or wrong-patient surgeries, like the infamous Rhode Island Hospital case. This forces a final, verbal team confirmation, preventing 'never events'.

Provides a clear, documented system that fulfills a core patient safety requirement for all major hospital accreditations.
