Post Patient Safety Boards in Your ORs
Looking for a simple way to prompt your surgical team to conduct patient safety checks before starting surgery?

There's also space on the boards to note important reminders for everyone to see. Nurses note the patient's name, the procedure and any allergies the surgical team needs to be aware of.
