Use this operating room time out audit to standardize pre-incision safety checks and reduce wrong patient, wrong site, and wrong procedure events. The checklist guides teams to pause all nonessential activity, verify patient identity, procedure, and laterality, confirm consent, ensure the surgical site is marked and visible, display correctly labeled imaging, confirm implants and equipment are available, observe antiseptic dry time, and administer prophylactic antibiotics before incision. Ideal for perioperative leaders and quality teams to monitor compliance and improve surgical safety.
