In this session a panel comprised of residents and surgeons shares a novel approach to Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (QIPS) rounds. Two case scenarios are used to demonstrate a structured, multidisciplinary approach to phase-of-care analysis of CT surgery patients. The group also discusses the impact of QIPS rounds on team culture within a surgical division that has adopted the framework. The expert panel also discusses how to create an environment that supports culturally safe dialogue, promotes shared ownership of mistakes, and encourages team participation in patient safety solutions.
