A Global Surgical Patient-Safety Project to Prevent Retained Surgical Items (RSI)
New Site is under construction everything to know will be within
What is NoThing Left Behind®?
This is a project to develop and disseminate evidence and experience-based practices for the prevention of Retained Surgical Items (RSI). RSI are generally considered to be "never events" and the hope is to make that a truth. The foundational problem resides in the human perception of infallibility that is in contrast to the reality of human behaviors. The work is in the analysis of clinical events and the results lie in the understanding of human factors and its application to solutions. The strategies, practices and thought modules within are the deliverables of the project. The name of the project - NoThing Left Behind® - is a registered trademark and original materials are copyrighted. They are available here, at no charge, to be used for knowledge acquisition, system-wide clinical improvement and the prevention of patient harm.
It's hard to "get it" but worthy of the effort.
This educational site is intended for use by healthcare organizations to prevent RSI. Please send questions and comments to drgibbs@nothingleftbehind.org
